Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week, Ekeler played 52% of the snaps while playing 59% of the passing down snaps. Ekeler could see his snaps drop some this week if Washington is in positive game script more and with Brian Robinson Jr. healthier. In Weeks 1-2, Ekeler averaged 8.5 touches and 73.5 total yards, with Robinson Jr. playing his usual role. Among 53 qualifying backs, Ekeler ranks 45th in yards after contact per attempt and 47th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Ekeler is a strong flex play this week against a leaky Dallas run defense. Since Week 6, Dallas has allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-most rushing yards per game, and the third-highest gap rushing success rate (Ekeler 56.9% gap).
