Outlook Efton Chism
Efton Chism vs NYJ — Expanded Role Offers Speculative Value
Chism has earned increased trust after making a dramatic game-winning touchdown catch against Buffalo. With Mack Hollins on injured reserve, head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Chism will see more opportunities. Though he remains behind A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas in the pecking order, Chism has capitalized on his playing time, totaling seven receptions for 99 yards over his past two contests.
Despite his recent heroics and climbing roster share, he carries a low fantasy floor this week. Our projection expects Chism to post around 2.6 fantasy points on two targets and 17 yards against the Jets in a projected low-scoring matchup. He is an intriguing stash in deep formats, but managers should keep him on the bench in standard leagues.

Outlook Austin Ekeler
Austin Ekeler at San Francisco — Limited Role in a Tough Road Matchup
Ekeler was limited in practice this week wearing a non-contact jersey while dealing with a chest issue, though he avoids an official injury designation. With Bill Croskey-Merritt ruled out, Ekeler should operate as the primary change-of-pace option, though he has logged just seven carries and three targets over his last two games.
Facing an undefeated 49ers team as heavy road underdogs, Washington could be forced into a pass-heavy script. Even so, our weekly model projects roughly 6.4 fantasy points on seven rushes and two targets. Rostered in just 8% of leagues, Ekeler is best left on fantasy benches outside of the deepest formats.
