The Gus Bus arrives to help Baltimore running game
As wild and crazy this NFL season has been, why couldn’t Gus Edwards (44 percent Yahoo! Sports and 16 percent ESPN) not have a big first game after coming off the IR.
He wasn’t even on my radar as the J.K. Dobbins news broke later in the week about getting his knee scoped and being placed on the IR list.
Oh, this silly game we play!
Onto this week’s top Waiver Wire Frenzy pick-ups!

Quarterback
Daniel Jones, NY Giants (41 percent Yahoo! & 29 percent ESPN)
