3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler returned from a one-game absence in Week 17 versus the Denver Broncos and didn't miss a beat in the team's victory. Ekeler saw 17 carries on the afternoon and picked up 58 yards on the ground with a touchdown. He also caught all three of his targets for 54 yards. Ekeler remained effective all afternoon and remains one of the best assets in the game this season. Last week's waiver wire hero, Justin Jackson saw 12 carries on the afternoon for 41 yards, but the backfield remains Ekeler's as long as he is healthy. One of the best all-around players in the game, Ekeler will remain a RB1 in a tasty matchup versus the Las Vegas in Week 18.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
