Read Austin Ekeler's fantasy football outlook for Week 5 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Ekeler has established himself as an elite fantasy running back, averaging 21.6 fantasy points per game (PPR), ranking as RB3 so far this season. Ekeler ranks 6th among running backs with 20 targets. He's already put up 12 red-zone carries in four games after posting only 17 in 10 games last season. We now have an elite receiving back with goal-line carries, which makes Ekeler a Top-5 RB ROS. The Browns are great against the run (1st in rush DVOA), but Ekeler's receiving ability makes him matchup-proof.
