Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) week to week

Austin Ekeler's response when asked whether he could return this season:

"It's week to week. I want to continue to learn more. It's my second concussion (this season). Am I more susceptible to a third now that I've had two and the severity of mine? It's a learning process for me because I've never had anything this bad and twice in the same season. ... The best thing about is the team has my back ... I really appreciate DQ (Dan Quinn) and Adam Peters for being there."

Related players: Brian Robinson, Jeremy McNichols, Chris Rodriguez

Fantasy Impact:

It doesn't seem like Ekeler has a timetable and the week to week tag indicates it could be some time. Ekeler is clearly concerned about this long-term well-being. From a fantasy angle, Robinson should continue to lead the way with McNichols seeing the passing down work. Rodriguez may be a guy to pick up in deeper leagues as a stash, especially if Ekeler ends up missing significant time. Rodriguez got some mop-up time and ended up carrying the ball 13 times for 94 yards, adding a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Titans.

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.
