Austin Ekeler 2019 Outlook
As CBSSports.com recently pointed out, Ekeler has been wildly efficient as a change-of-pace back behind Melvin Gordon. He's averaged better than 5 yards per carry and more than 10 yards per reception each of his first two seasons in the NFL. He has been one of the rare NFL backups who have fantasy value even with the starter healthy. And if Gordon goes down again, Ekeler should become an instant starter. But the real concern for fantasy owners will be whether he'll get the majority of the workload. CBS went on to remind readers that when Gordon was hurt last year, the Chargers’ backfield became another committee between Ekeler and Justin Jackson, and Ekeler's efficiency suffered while Jackson at times looked like the better back. As it stands there is just no guarantee Ekeler, who missed time down the stretch last year due to concussion issues, beats out Jackson for the secondary role, and certainly no guarantee either will be must-start if Gordon goes down. In fact, Detrez Newsome, who was impressive last preseason, would also be in the mix here.

Austin Ekeler 2018 Outlook
This time last year, few people outside of the Chargers' scouts and coaches knew about Ekeler, an undrafted rookie out of tiny Western State in Colorado. Fast forward one year and the entire NFL knows his name. After an impressive showing in training camp and the preseason, Ekeler made the 53-man roster, eventually establishing himself as a key cog in the Bolts' offense as the team's primary complement to Melvin Gordon. He was a solid change of pace when running the ball, but he truly established himself as a dangerous receiving option out of the backfield, hauling in 27 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns, including three receptions of at least 20 yards. Ekeler saw sporadic playing time over the first month of the season, which is why he failed to qualify among league leaders. If he had a few more plays under his belt, his 10.3 yards per catch would have ranked third among all running backs, sandwiched between Todd Gurley and Alvin Kamara. Expect him to continue handling a similar role and workload this season but with a little less anonymity.
