Outlook Austin Ekeler

Modest Committee Role in Rainy Divisional Matchup

Healthy and moving well following his Achilles recovery, Ekeler has settled into a steady complementary backfield role behind Rachaad White while Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains on injured reserve. He has handled eight carries in each of his last two games, though minimal target volume has kept his recent production modest.

Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his rostered rate up to 13% over the past two weeks, yet he remains unstarted in almost every league. Traveling to face the division-leading Giants in rainy outdoor conditions, this game projects as a low-scoring grind; our weekly projection lands around 7 fantasy points on roughly 45 total yards, keeping him on the bench outside of deep leagues.
