Austin Ekeler at SF — Limited Role and Questionable Status Cloud Outlook

Ekeler is officially questionable for Monday night against San Francisco after wearing a no-contact jersey during practice due to a chest injury. Since re-signing with Washington, the veteran running back has handled a very limited role, logging just seven carries and two receptions over two games. Check back closer to game time for late updates regarding his active status.

Even if cleared to play, Ekeler carries virtually no standalone fantasy appeal in standard formats, currently rostered in roughly 5% of leagues. Our weekly projection expects around 3.5 carries for 14 rushing yards and one reception for 9 yards (4.1 fantasy points), keeping him firmly on fantasy benches.

Ryan Flournoy at Green Bay — Sneaky Slot Upside in a High-Scoring Matchup

Operating as Dallas' primary slot receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Flournoy enters Week 6 healthy after an explosive 90-yard performance against Tampa Bay. Over his past two outings, he has earned nine targets and hauled in seven receptions, showing growing trust within the offense.

Sunday night's matchup against the Packers features a lofty 53-point total, offering plenty of scoring upside. Our weekly models project him for approximately 3 catches on 5 targets for 38 yards (7.8 fantasy points). While his roster rate has ticked up to 13%, he remains best viewed as a deep-league play or speculative flex dart throw in shootout game scripts.
