Kenyan Drake or Gus Edwards: Who should you start?

Although Edwards has a better fantasy points per game score than Drake, he is unlikely to play in Week 9 due to a hamstring injury. Hence, you should steer clear of drafting Edwards into your fantasy team.

Drake is a better option among the two because he is active for the Ravens this weekend. More so, Drake is versatile and can fetch you fantasy points on the ground and in the air.
