Dylan Edwards

Edwards is primed for a huge year as the feature back for the Wildcats, who ranked second in the Big 12 in rushing in 2024. He spent most of the previous season as a backup to the NFL-bound DJ Giddens. With Giddens not playing in Kansas State's bowl game, Edwards took full advantage with 20 total touches for 223 yards and three touchdowns. The junior back has elite burst and agility, excelling with his quick acceleration. These are the skills that make him a home-run threat, not to mention a great pass-catching option to form a great pairing with dynamic quarterback Avery Johnson. While there potentially could be some growing pains with a new offensive coordinator in Matt Wells, this team has always revolved its offense around the run game, and there shouldn't be much change in that philosophy this year. Edwards has the potential to be the best fantasy running back in the conference. Read Past Outlooks
