Austin Ekeler vs. Colts in London — Reunited with Washington but Role Remains Unclear

Austin Ekeler reunited with the Commanders after signing to the active roster this week following his recovery from an Achilles injury. Ekeler made the trip to London for Sunday's matchup with Indianapolis, though head coach Dan Quinn noted his playing status is undecided as he learns the playbook.

Given his late signing and uncertain role, fantasy managers should avoid starting him. Our weekly projection anticipates modest involvement with around 4.6 fantasy points across 3 carries and a couple of targets. Ekeler is a speculative bench stash for now to see how the backfield touches shake out.

Kalif Raymond vs. Jets — Reliable Slot Option Looks to Maintain PPR Momentum

Raymond returned without issue from a brief medical tent visit last week and continues operating as Chicago's top slot receiver. He has surprisingly paced the Bears' receiving corps with 19 receptions and 214 yards through three contests, consistently outproducing perimeter teammates Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III.

With starting quarterback Caleb Williams ruled out due to a hamstring injury, backup Tyson Bagent commands the offense. Our weekly projection expects around 4 receptions for 45 yards, giving Raymond a dependable floor. His roster rate has vaulted to 72%, making him a solid PPR flex play in competitive matchups.
