Austin Ekeler Remains An RB1 In Week 5
3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will look to continue his strong season with a matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. The Browns defense hasn't allowed more than 68 yards on the ground in a game this year and are allowing just three receptions for 26 yards through the air to opposing runners. Despite that, Ekeler has been having one of the best seasons of any player this year and has played a huge role in the Chargers revamped offense this season with Joe Lombardi calling the plays. For the season, Ekeler has 283 yards for two touchdowns and 18 receptions for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Regardless of the matchup on paper, Ekeler remains a RB1 in Week 5 and on a weekly basis.
