Austin Ekeler will play "a lot" Sunday

Oct 05, 2019

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said RB Austin Ekeler will play "a lot" on Sunday against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chargers will be getting Melvin Gordon back after he ended his holdout last week but did not play in Week 4 against the Dolphins, so this will be his season debut. But the Chargers are going to limit the workload of Gordon, meaning there will be plenty of work for Ekeler, which he deserves to have. Ekeler is currently the No. 2 running back in PPR scoring behind only Christian McCaffrey. Even when Gordon gets back up to speed, the Chargers would be silly not to keep playing Ekeler and there will be enough fantasy potential from both running backs. And even for this week, in a limited role, Gordon has flex, or even RB2 potential. Our latest PPR rankings here at 4for4 have Ekeler at No. 8 and Gordon at No. 21, as Denver has been getting chewed up by the run game this season.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
