2025 Fantasy Outlook
Following Blake Corum's departure and many key players in Michigan's offense moving on to the next level, Edwards will have plenty of opportunities to lead the reigning champs. The 6-foot-1 running back tied for fourth-most on the team in receiving yards this past season, and only one of the top five pass catchers in receiving yards, tight end Colston Loveland, returns as a to Ann Arbor in 2024. Edwards could thus be an even bigger factor in a passing game that exhibits several holes. The changing of the guard under center from first-round pick J.J. McCarthy to likely Alex Orji also means there could be added emphasis on the ground game. Edwards could be relied on heavily on the ground, especially at the start of the season, as Orji gets his feet under him in his first stint as a starter. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting out bowl game
Edwards (leg) announced Saturday that he will opt out of playing in the ReliaQuest Bowl versus Alabama on Dec. 31 and begin preparations for the 2025 NFL Draft, Alex Crescenti of 7 News Detroit reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Edwards was unable to finish out Michigan's Week 14 win over Ohio State due to an apparent leg injury, his decision to sit out the bowl game likely has more to do with protecting himself from a new injury that could affect his draft stock. After compiling 746 yards and five touchdowns in a supporting role behind star tailback Blake Corum in Michigan's undefeated 2023 season, Edwards was unable to take much of a step forward as a senior in 2024, despite Corum's departure. Edwards appeared in 12 games for the Wolverines, finishing with 589 yards and four touchdowns on 128 carries to go with 18 catches for 83 yards and another score. With Edwards out for the bowl game, Kalel Mullings should be locked in as the Wolverines' clear lead back.
