WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Dallas Cowboys

Austin Ekeler rolled back the years in Week 11 against the Eagles, and while far from his prime he has averaged a robust 13.5 Half-PPR points over his last four games. He’s still ceding primary rushing work to Brian Robinson, and that may ultimately hurt his fantasy stock this week against the Cowboys. If Ekeler was THE Guy, then a clash with a Cowboys team ranking 28th in aFPA to running backs would be a welcome date in the 2024 schedule. But with Robinson leading the rushing attack, Ekeler looks more like a low-end RB2 in Week 12.

WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Philadelphia Eagles

Austin Ekeler rolled back the years in Week 10 on his way to RB5 numbers in Half-PPR formats. One big week aside, Ekeler is still only the RB31 in points per game, and shouldn't be looked upon for miracles against the Eagles. The Birds rank third in aFPA to running backs in 2024, and banking on multiple Ekeler touchdowns seems a foolhardy strategy. Ekeler should be able to give you RB2 numbers this week, but this would be more if the Commanders didn't insist on sharing out the backfield work.

WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Austin Ekeler's days of fantasy superstardom are in the past, as evidenced by his current rank of RB33 in Half-PPR points per game. But this doesn't mean he is totally without merit this week, especially as the Steelers rank 21st in aFPA to running backs. Still, expectations of anything above low-end RB2 numbers in Week 10 are likely not to be met.

WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Chicago Bears

Austin Ekeler has looked pretty good whenever the ball has been in his hands this season, but the problem is just how infrequently this has happened. Ekeler averages 8.9 Half-PPR points per game in 2024, good enough for RB38. This is pretty much in line with his projection for Week8 with a matchup against the Bears. The Bears rank 17th in aFPA to running backs this season, but the Commanders offensive efficiency is bound to take a knock with Jayden Daniels set to miss out. RB3 numbers from Ekeler might be asking too much.

WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Carolina Panthers

Week 6 wasn’t a banner week for Austin Ekeler, even with Brian Robinson missing out. Ekeler could only muster 8.8 Half-PPR points against the Ravens and finished as the RB27 for the week. This was, surprisingly for some, a boost to his output, as he currently sits at RB32 in points per game this season.

Week 7 should be a better day for Ekeler with an inviting matchup against the Panthers on the slate. The Panthers rank dead last in aFPA to running backs this season. Ekeler projects as a solid RB2 option this week.

WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Baltimore Ravens

Austin Ekeler has settled into a role with a lesser workload than in previous seasons, but he is getting by, in reality and fantasy. With 10.4 Half PPR points per game so far this season, he’s the RB31, which keeps him in the flex conversation most weeks.

A risky flex option might be the best outcome for Ekeler this week, even if Brian Robinson is unable to play. The Ravens have been stingy towards fantasy running backs in 2024 and rank seventh in aFPA for the position. If the Commanders are forced to take to the air more than they have been, then Ekeler does have some PPR appeal, but nothing much above an RB3 level this week.

WAS RB Austin Ekeler - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Cincinnati Bengals
Austin Ekeler didn’t get to do a whole lot in Week 2, but he was fairly efficient when called upon. His eight rush attempts brought him 38 yards, and his three receptions (on three targets) brought another 47. He scored 10.0 Half PPR points and finished as the RB25.

The Bengals have allowed the seventh most rushing yards to running backs this season, while also allowing all nine of their running backs targets to be completed. Still, Ekeler is behind Brian Robinson in this backfield and has to compete with a rushing quarterback to boot. He projects to be a low-end RB3 this week.
