Stellar in Monday's win Ekeler rushed 15 times for 117 yards and a touchdown, and caught three of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 28-14 win over the Raiders.
Impact Ekeler's dynamic, dual-threat ability was on display, as he ran well between the tackles, showed shiftiness in the open field and caught the ball out of the backfield. The veteran's first score came on a 14-yard wheel route in the second quarter, then Ekeler powered his way to an 11-yard touchdown rush in the fourth. The versatile tailback has now topped 100 scrimmage yards in three straight games, with Monday's performance comfortably marking his best of the campaign thus far. With four TDs in four contests to boot, Ekeler rides excellent form into an enticing early-season matchup against the Browns in Week 5.

NFL Week 3 top moments: Rams, Raiders, Cardinals, Broncos remain undefeated
The Rams stifled the Bucs, the Vikings stunned the Seahawks and the 49ers fell to the Packers in Week 3. Here are the top moments!SEPTEMBER 27, 2021
Another productive day Ekeler carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards and also caught all six of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.
Impact The dynamic back has either eclipsed 100 total yards or scored a touchdown in every game this season. After a Week 1 outing which saw Ekeler fail to see a target, the 26-year-old now has 15 targets in the last two weeks combined. Perhaps even more encouraging for fantasy managers, Ekeler didn't even have passes schemed his way, instead crafting yardage out of repeated checkdowns from Justin Herbert. The Chargers are averaging 42 pass attempts thus far this season which means Ekeler should have a relatively safe floor in PPR formats most weeks and likely could have some bigger games if emerging wideout Mike Williams becomes less efficient with his red-zone targets.
