Chase Edmonds Fantasy
Since Week 1, Edmonds has been out-carried by Raheem Mostert by a margin of 34 to 16. Mostert has also seen one more target than Edmonds since Week 1 as he is seeing the field more than Edmonds as of late. Edmonds has been fortunate enough to find the end zone three times in the last time games.
Unfortunately, this type of production is unreliable and makes Edmonds a risky start moving forward. With the unfortunate head/neck injury sustained to Tua Tagovailoa, prepare for Teddy Bridgewater to be under centre for the Dolphins when they travel to New York to clash with the Jets in Week 5.
