Taking advantage of potential valuation trends in the trade market is imperative. That is even more true during the season when players can experience wild valuation changes on a week-to-week basis. Each week, I will be highlighting some players you should be looking to move or acquire and the reasons why.
Edwards is the epitome of a volume-based plodder. Yes, he has an incredible career yards per carry, but that has been largely inflated by being in a vastly beneficial scheme and seeing opportune touches as a backup. This year, he is in a similar spot where he has been splitting carries with Justice Hill and losing out on the third-down work. However, on Sunday, Hill had yet another botched handoff. The stat goes down as Lamar Jackson's fumble, but it was Hill's fault, and after that point, Hill barely saw the field, allowing Edwards to finish with a 71.4% opportunity share.
If Hill falls out of favor, and this will be Edwards's backfield moving forward, he is incredibly undervalued! The Trade Analyzer has him currently worth a fourth-round pick! Yes, you are buying Edwards for potentially eight games at most, but even if you have to pay a third to acquire him, he could be a great flex play to help you through bye weeks with league-winning upside if he continues to see the Lion's share of the backfield.
