Draft Note by John Paulsen
Ekeler finished as the RB2 last year with the third-highest per game average (half-PPR). He missed time in 2020, but finished with the 13th-highest per game average. The Chargers have a top-12 offensive line and Ekeler will continue to see a ton of work as a receiver. I’m expecting to see more of the same from the 27-year-old.
