LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys present a plus matchup on Thanksgiving, as Dallas is just 23rd in overall fantasy points allowed to the position and 25th in aFPA against running backs. It's easy to look at Austin Ekeler's production the past two weeks and get excited, but context matters. Most of his points came in the second half of a huge blowout last week. For that reason, we are not buying him as an RB2 in Week 12, but he's definitely worth a roster spot at this point, especially as a handcuff to Melvin Gordon.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Buffalo Bills

This week is a big spot for the Chargers ground game against a Bills defense ranked 31st in our aFPA vs. RB rankings and that has allowed more than 500 scrimmage yards in its past two games. Overall, the Bills have allowed the second-most PPR points to the position. Austin Ekeler, all of a sudden, has approached FLEX territory after the Chargers committed 15 touches to him last week—which he converted into 119 yards and 2 touchdowns. Given the matchup, you could do worse than Ekeler if you need FLEX help this week. If he's still available, Melvin Gordon owners must handcuff him with Ekeler.
