3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) was listed on the Week 14 injury report on Wednesday after getting in a limited practice. Ekeler is a little beat up coming off the Week 13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but he should be just fine to play this Sunday against the New York Giants. The 26-year-old do-it-all back could have an absolutely huge workload in Week 14 with both top receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen currently on the COVID-19 list. If quarterback Justin Herbert is without his top two aerial targets, he could Ekeler's way frequently out of the backfield. The Giants defense allows 122.8 rushing yards per game and the 11th-most receptions to RBs, so Ekeler will be a no-brainer elite RB1 play.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
