Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Gus Edwards ran for 468 yards and 4 touchdowns; TreVeyon Henderson posted 911 and 9. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

Gus Edwards has his bye in Week 5, and TreVeyon Henderson rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
