Los Angeles Chargers - Fantasy News
With Melvin Gordon (hamstring) inactive, Ekeler collected 17 of 20 running back touches, but he was relatively inefficient on the ground in rushing for 3.5 yards per carry against a stingy Titans defense. The second-year man continues to command a respectable target share (3.4 targets per game), but he's been less productive on the ground of late after an electrifying start to the season. Ekeler has averaged 4.3 yards per rush over his past four outings, compared to 8.2 yards per carry through his first three appearances of the year. Should Gordon prove healthy enough to play in Week 9 (following a bye), Ekeler will likely slide back into his complementary role against a Seattle defense that ranks in the bottom 10 of the league against the run (120.7 yards allowed per game entering Week 7).
