Week 6 vs. Denver Broncos
Austin Ekeler had himself a day against the Browns in Week 5. He rushed 16 times for 173 yards, both season highs, and scored his third rushing touchdown in two games. Just for good measure, Ekeler caught all four of his targets for another 26 yards and another touchdown, giving him five scores in the last two weeks. Ekeler's deeds saw him amass 33.9 Half-PPR points, making him the RB1 in Week 5.
Ekeler's current form, plus his constant threat as a receiver, make him an autoplay at present. Even when faced with a difficult matchup like the one he has against the Broncos in Week 6. The Broncos are fifth in aFPA to running backs this season and have only seen 96 running back rush attempts against them. Still, it's hard to keep Ekeler out of the action, and if you have him rostered, you can fire him up without fear this week.
