Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (abdomen) is available for Week 9's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Ekeler was removed from the injury report on Friday and should be good to go against the Falcons on Sunday. Ekeler will be the focal point of the Chargers' offense once again, with Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) ruled out. Our models expect Ekeler to handle 12.2 carries and catch 6.8 passes against Atlanta.
Ekeler's Week 9 projection includes 55.2 rushing yards, 52.0 receiving yards, 0.90 total touchdowns, and 19.4 FanDuel points. His salary is $9,400.
