Austin Ekeler - 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.
