3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been off to a strong start this season, and fantasy managers should expect that to continue in Week 4 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders defense is allowing around 77 yards per game in the first three weeks of the season, but that number would be much higher without the Steelers rushing for just 39 yards in Week 2. More importantly for those in PPR leagues, the Raiders offense is allowing just under seven receptions to opposing running backs and 32 yards per game. Ekeler's bread and butter is in the passing game, and he has secured 15 receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. Monday's contest is expected to be a high-scoring game, and Ekeler should be expected to play a big role in the game plan. His best value is in PPR leagues, but Ekeler should be considered an RB1 in all formats in Week 4.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
