Leonard Fournette and Gus Edwards are American football players that play the running back position in the NFL. On the other hand, Gus Edwards is a five-season veteran that plays for the Baltimore Ravens. The team signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2018, and he has been on the team since. He is the Ravens' lead running back until the potential return of J.K. Dobbins.
Fournette, on the other hand, is affectionately known as Playoff Lenny by Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans. He is a six-year veteran on a stacked Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. Playoff Lenny was drafted fourth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2017. However, he achieved fame with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, contributing to their 2021 Super Bowl win.
Both running backs have favorable matchups in week 13, but we recommend starting Leonard Fournette rather than Gus Edwards.
Why Leonard Fournette is a better fantasy pick than Gus Edwards in Week 13
Leonard Fournette is the lead running back on a team with Tom Brady calling the shots. This means he will likely get an array of rush and catch attempts due to being one of the GOAT's favorite targets. This season might not be Fournette's best in Tampa, but a top-15 ranking in running back fantasy points shouldn't be scoffed at.
On the other hand, Gus Edwards is his side's third rushing option, as even QB Lamar Jackson has more rushing yards than him. However, Edwards will be RB1 for the Ravens till J.K. Dobbins recovers from his injury.
Fournette is a better fantasy pick than Edwards for week 13. That is because he will likely take more snaps, and his team is more reliable in putting him in a position to stack up fantasy points. Gus Edwards is a decent fantasy pick, but Fournette offers more value for a pick.
