One of the toughest things to predict when it comes to the 2024 is how the team's running attack will look. We know that Jim  Ted Williams Jersey Harbaugh will focus on the run, but is a credible option for the team's lead role?According to Daniel Popper who covers the team for The Athletic, the answer to that question seems to be yes.Daniel Popper of sees Gus Edwards as the clear lead back for the LA Chargers, and predicts the current RB depth chart as this:1. Gus Edwards2. J.K. Dobbins3. Bobby Doerr Jersey  Kimani Vidal4. Isaiah Spiller5. Elijah Dotson6. Jaret Patterson  SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) The Chargers signed Edwards quickly once the free-agent market opened and though the signing of J.K. Dobbins looks a lot better on paper, it seems the team will give Edwards the first shot at leading the charge. That would be big for the veteran Edwards, as Mitch Moreland Jersey  he's never held that role before.Gus Edwards is leading the charge for the Chargers' rushing attackEdwards put forth an impre sive tenure in Baltimore, rushing for nearly 3,400 yards. He is also coming off of a career season in which he carried the ball for 810 yards and 13 Jackie Bradley Jr Jersey  touchdowns.But everything he ever did in Baltimore was opened up by injuries on the roster. The team found a way to work him in as an effective runner, but he was never seen as a true RB1. The Chargers are set to change that.Popper's predicted running back depth chart is similar to the one ahead of training camp and while his words towards Edwards are encouraging, there is Matt Barnes Jersey  still a full training camp and preseason slate where things could change.
