Austin Ekeler Has A Juicy Matchup In Week 15
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will draw a very favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. It will be Ekeler's fourth game back from a hamstring injury and he has looked healthy in his first three games since being activated from IR. Ekeler has yet to top 100 yards on the ground this season, but he will have a good chance on Thursday facing a Raiders defense allowing 109 yards per game and over one touchdown to opposing backfields. Ekeler is also one of the best receiving backs in the game and the Raiders are allowing 5.5 catches and 42 yards per game to running backs. This is a dream matchup for owners in their playoff run and Ekeler should be treated as a RB1.
