2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tremaine Edmunds was supposed to be the impact add to the Bears' linebacker corps in 2023, but Edwards has proven to be the more reliable producer of the duo. That track record earned him a two-year extension from Chicago this offseason under the team's new coaching staff, a positive sign for his role and production. There was a notable dip in Edwards' impactful production last season, with his work in coverage particularly poor relative to expectations. However, the entire team seemingly lost its way in 2024, and Edwards remains in his prime years, so some bounceback should be expected. Read Past Outlooks
Returning in Week 14
Edwards (hand) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Edwards missed Chicago's last four games due to a hand injury, but following a full practice session Friday, he'll return for the Week 14 divisional contest. The 29-year-old has appeared in just five games this season, recording 31 total tackles and three passes defensed. Now fully healthy, he's expected to assume Chicago's top middle linebacker duties Sunday.

2021
Edwards was a victim of Philadelphia's deep linebacker corps and defensive philosophy of rotating its linebacking core more than the average team early in his caeer. He was unable to top 700 defensive snaps in any of his first three seasons in the league as a result, though he still broke out with 130 tackles in the last of those campaigns. Edwards has since flourished into a strong all-around defensive player. After joining the Bears for the 2023 season, he worked primarily in coverage (609 of his 1,042 snaps came in coverage, per PFF) and was successful with that responsibility. He'll retain a significant role in Chicago's linebacking corps alongside Tremaine Edmunds as the two full-time players, so there's little reason to expect a downturn in production. Edwards' profile is unique relative to the other elite IDP linebackers thanks to his prowess in coverage, giving him a well-rounded statistical profile in leagues where tackles are devalued.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ruled out with multiple injuries
Edwards has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Steelers due to hand and hamstring injuries, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will therefore miss his third straight game following recent hand surgery and the hamstring issue he sustained in Week 9 against the Bengals. The seven-year pro has appeared in only five games this season and has produced 31 total tackles, and he'll be one of three starting Bears linebackers absent for Sunday's game.
