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
Signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Bears in March of 2023.
Inactive for MNF
Edwards (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was listed as doubtful, so his inactivity comes as no surprise. Noah Sewell, Carl Jones, Ruben Hyppolite and D'Marco Jackson are the Bears' active linebackers behind Tremaine Edmunds.

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.
