Austin Ekeler - 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.
