RB - Washington Commanders
57°Availability
Austin Ekeler rushed 11 times for 42 yards and a touchdown. He added three receptions for 41 yards in the win.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler saw a heavier workload in Week 10 due to Brian Robinson’s absence. While Ekeler is the primary pass-catching back in Washington, he is second in the backfield behind Robinson. Ekeler doesn’t have much standalone value for Week 10’s game against the Steelers.
Austin Ekeler ran for 52 yards on seven carries in the Commanders 18-15 win over the Bears. He also caught 2-of-3 targets for six yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler had a long run of 29 yards for the remainder of his production. Brian Robinson Jr. remains the clear lead back in the Commanders backfield with Ekeler being in the flex conversation.
Austin Ekeler ran for 17 yards on four carries and caught both of his targets for three yards in the Commanders' commanding 40-7 win over Carolina on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler had a couple of weeks of fantasy relevance where he was a decent RB3 type of start, but he simply just hasn't been the Ekeler of old. He's not getting much in terms of volume, but if nothing else he has been catching passes, which can boost his stock in certain weeks. But, he's best left on the bench or waiver wire unless Brian Robinson misses additional time.
Austin Ekeler ran for 21 yards on 9 carries and caught four of five targets for 47 yards in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler got the start in place of an injured Brian Robinson on Sunday but failed to do much on the ground. His receiving work saved him in PPR-style formats, but fantasy managers are still left wanting more after what felt like a large projected workload. If Robinson misses again, then Ekeler is just a flex play rather than a locked-in RB2.
Austin Ekeler has been removed from the injury report for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler closed the week with full practices on Thursday and Friday. Brian Robinson is a game-time decision, so Ekeler could be in line for a big role in the Commanders backfield.
