PPR maven in loss Ekeler tallied 14 carries for 39 yards and also registered nine receptions (10 targets) for 55 yards in Thursday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Ekeler logged four of his nine receptions on the Chargers' final drive as the team attempted a double-digit comeback. As was the case in their Week 1 win over the Raiders, the Chargers once again opted to diversify the backfield carries with Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel recording four rushes apiece. While Ekeler, who racked up 20 total touchdowns in 2021, has yet to find the end zone over his first two contests, he has at least maintained PPR utility, by recording 13 catches (on 14 targets) in that span. Looking ahead, it's worth monitoring the status of the Chargers' offensive line as both right tackle Trey Pipkins (ankle) and All-Pro center Corey Linsley (knee) were forced out of Thursday's game due to their respective injuries. The team, which also saw star quarterback Justin Herbert labor through the later stages of the fourth quarter with an apparent rib injury, will look to benefit from extra some time off before a Week 3 tilt against the Jaguars on Sept. 25.
