Austin Ekeler (hip) pops up on injury report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler popped up on Thursday's injury report with a hip injury.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Chargers are coming off a bye, and Ekeler had no injury designation on Wednesday, so this appears to be a new injury for the Chargers star running back. A late-week injury is never good news, so fantasy managers will want to monitor Friday's final injury report carefully. Ekeler is our fourth-ranked running back for Week 8, thanks to a plus matchup against the New England Patriots. If he cannot go, the Chargers will be forced to deploy a committee consisting of Larry Rountree, Joshua Kelley, and Justin Jackson.
