Austin Ekeler Had Mediocre Week 13
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler struggled in a Week 13 blowout loss against the New England Patriots. Ekeler received 60% of the backfield snaps in his second game back and picked up 36 yards on eight rushing attempts. He also hauled in four of his nine targets for 32 yards. Ekeler was a victim of game flow and with this being just his second game back from a hamstring injury and the Chargers getting crushed, it made sense to limit Ekeler as the game went on. Managers should expect Ekeler to put up better numbers in a much more favorable matchup in Week 14 versus the Atlanta Falcons.
