4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler returned to action after being sidelined since Week 5 with a hamstring injury. Ekeler looked healthy and received 73% of the backfield snaps versus the Buffalo Bills in Week 12. Ekeler had 14 carries for 44 yards and cleaned up in the pass game by catching 11 of his 16 targets for 85 yards. Managers couldn't of asked for more out of Ekeler in his return. Ekeler should remain a focal point of the Chargers offense and is especially valuable in PPR leagues. Ekeler should be safely deployed as a RB1 in Week 13 versus the New England Patriots.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
