Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

Yahoo Ownership Percentage: 34%

Austin Ekeler is an undrafted free agent who few people had heard of coming into the season. However, in the last three games, he's started to make a name for himself.

Ekeler has had at least 50 yards from scrimmage in each of his past three games for the Los Angeles Chargers. He's had at least eight touches in each of these three games as he continues to cut into Melvin Gordon's workload.


While Ekeler likely won't completely supplant Gordon as the primary back, he provides standalone value as a flex play. He also provides value as a handcuff since Ekeler would likely take over as the lead back in the event of a injury to Gordon.
