Austin Ekeler Should Get Plenty More Chances

5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back/pass-catching extraordinaire Austin Ekeler will likely see a whole lot of opportunities again this week. Ekeler caught a whopping 15 passes last week against the Broncos, and with LA squaring off against a hard-nosed Pittsburgh defense, expect Philip Rivers to use Ekeler as an easy out once again. That said, there are some risks to Ekeler this week, such as the expectation that Melvin Gordon will see an increase in usage and that Keenan Allen roasted Pittsburgh from the slot last time the two matched up, so LA may push him into that position again. Ekeler's riding that fine line where he can boom or bust from week to week due to the plentiful weapons around him, but for now, it looks like Rivers still knows that getting the ball in Ekeler's hands allows good things to happen.--Billy Stonick - RotoBaller
