5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler should be considered as a flex option for his matchup against the Chicago Bears. Ekeler has seen a reduction in carries since Melvin Gordon returned to the team, but he still has been heavily involved in the passing game. The Chicago Bears have given up an average of 28.9 points to the position this season, with the majority of that coming from the past two weeks. The Bears have allowed 348 receiving yards to running backs, which is the sixth-highest total in the league. With the work in the passing game and some rushing work mixed in, Ekeler should be considered an RB3, making him perfect for flex consideration.--Richard King - RotoBaller
