Herbert, Chargers surging with 4-2 record at bye week

Justin Herbert is having a sophomore surge instead of a slump

No running room against Ravens Ekeler rushed six times for seven yards and caught four of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to Baltimore.

Impact The Ravens managed to keep Ekeler and the rest of the Chargers in check, as Justin Herbert failed to reach 200 passing yards and no running back rushed for more than seven. Los Angeles' upcoming Week 7 bye will give Ekeler and company a chance to regroup, and the diminutive yet powerful running back should bounce back afterwards given his substantial role as both a rusher and a pass-catcher out of the backfield.

Ties career high with three TDs Ekeler carried the ball 17 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns while also securing five targets for 53 yards and an additional score in Sunday's thrilling 47-42 win over the Brow...

Impact Ekeler didn't put together a stellar yard-per-carry figure, but he was a verifiable star in the red zone, wrestling, churning and fighting for every yard in all three of his touchdowns, each of which came within 20 yards of paydirt. After a bit of dud Week 1 in which Ekeler saw just 15 carries, the multi-talented running back is averaging close to 19 touches and 121.5 total yards over the last four games. An uber-efficient Chargers offense has afforded the 26-year-old plenty of opportunities near the goal line, but it's safe to say that even if Ekeler is unable to score, his weekly volume makes him one of the safer fantasy players on a week-to-week basis.
