LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs Miami Dolphins

Austin Ekeler endured a pretty rough game against the Raiders in Week 13. He carried the ball ten times for 35 yards, the ninth time this season he's been held under 50 yards, and caught five passes for 67 yards. Ekeler was held without a touchdown for just the second time since Week 4. He managed 10.7 Half PPR points on his way to RB24 for the week.

Ekeler will look to bounce back against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The Dolphins have allowed the 11th most receptions to running backs this season while giving up four receiving touchdowns to boot, ranking 18th in aFPA to running backs thanks to only surrendering the fourth-fewest rushing yards. It'll be tough, but only a hero would project Ekeler to finish outside of the top 12 at his position two weeks in a row.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Las Vegas Raiders

It's getting almost ridiculous now when it comes to Austin Ekeler's passing game role. The Chargers RUNNING BACK rushed just four times for 20 yards against the Cardinals, but he saw a whopping 15 targets. He caught 11 for 60 yards and a touchdown, giving him 12 total scores this season. Ekeler posted 19.5 Half PPR points on his way to the overall RB4 last week.

It's hard to imagine Ekeler not producing for his fantasy managers again in Week 13. The Raiders rank 29th in aFPA to running backs, with no team allowing more receiving yards to backs all season than the Raiders. Ekeler is a set-and-forget RB1. No need to overthink things.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Arizona Cardinals

Austin Ekeler had a somewhat mixed game against the Chiefs in Week 11. He rushed a season-high 19 times for 83 yards, scoring his seventh rushing touchdown of the season. But Ekeler drew just two targets, his lowest total of the season, catching both for 17 yards. It may be too soon to say that Ekeler's reception ceiling will come crashing down now Keenan Allen is back, but it is something to monitor moving forward Ekeler still managed 17 Half PPR points last week, finishing as the RB8.

Ekeler should be able to put up another strong performance against the Cardinals in Week 12. The Cardinals rank 23rd in aFPA to running backs this season and have allowed eight rushing scores along with three receiving touchdowns to backs in 2022. Ekeler is a set-and-forget RB1 this week, and most weeks he is active.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs Kansas City Chiefs

Week 11 was one of the worst days at the office all season for Austin Ekeler. He earned just six carries, amassing 24 scoreless yards on the ground, while he managed just 39 yards on seven receptions. Ekeler failed to score a touchdown for the first time since Week 3. Ekeler could only muster 9.8 Half PPR points and finished as the RB23 in Week 10. Still, overall he is the leading point scorer among all running backs in points per game in 2022.

Ekeler, and his fantasy managers, will hope he returns to normal this week against the Chiefs. The Chiefs rank 21st in aFPA to running backs this season, and Ekeler managed to clock 13.9 Half PPR points against them back in Week 2. He's a set-and-forget RB1 option this week.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at San Francisco 49ers

Austin Ekeler is fast becoming the Thanos of the running back position in fantasy football. He is inevitable. Ekeler rushed 14 times for 47 yards in Week 9, the sixth time this season he has been held under 50 yards on the ground. But he scored a rushing touchdown for the fifth straight game and added 24 yards and another score on seven receptions. Ekeler has scored multiple touchdowns in four of his last five games. He scored 20.6 Half PPR points last week, finishing as the RB6 for the week and remaining the overall RB1.

On paper, the matchup doesn't look that good for Ekeler in Week 10. The 49ers rank fourth in aFPA to running backs this season. They've allowed the fewest rushing yards to running backs and are yet to allow a receiving touchdown to a tailback. But Ekeler is pretty close to matchup-proof in 2022, and only a fool or a hero would view him as less than a high-end RB1 this week.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Atlanta Falcons

Austin Ekeler is having, quite simply, an outstanding season in both reality and fantasy football. Despite sitting 26th among all running backs with 84 carries and 24th with 380 rushing yards, he leads the running back spot with 53 receptions and 357 yards. Ekeler has scored eight touchdowns, and his 21.2 Half-PPR points per game are the most at the running back spot.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Ekeler won't be able to keep the good times rolling in Week 9. The Falcons are ranked 21st in aFPA to running backs. Ekeler is in contention to finish as the overall RB1 this week.

LAC RB Austin Ekeler - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Seattle Seahawks

Week 6 saw another stellar fantasy outing from Austin Ekeler. Ekeler only managed 36 rushing yards but saved his fantasy manager's bacon with his sixth touchdown of the season along with ten receptions for another 47 yards. Ekeler amassed 19.3 Half PPR points in Week 6, finishing as the RB3. After six weeks, Ekeler leads all other running backs in this format.

Ekeler should be able to keep the music playing against the Seahawks in Week 7. The Seahawks rank 27th in aFPA to running backs and have allowed a league-high 995 rushing yards. They've also surrendered the third-most receiving yards to running backs after six games. Ekeler is a set and forget RB1.
