3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He is officially questionable after being limited with an ankle injury during practice this week. Barring a setback during pregame warmups, Ekeler is all systems go for Thursday. The 26-year-old rushed for 55 yards with six receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown in his previous game against Kansas City. The Chiefs' defense has played well recently but ranks 20th in rush DVOA this season. Fantasy managers should check back an hour before 8:20 PM et kickoff and ensure he's active before inserting him into their starting lineups. Ekeler is surefire RB1 against the Chiefs for the beginning of the fantasy playoffs.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
