Austin Ekeler Could See 20 Touches A Game
5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers impending restricted free-agent running back Austin Ekeler should be a fantasy star in 2020 if Melvin Gordon departs in free agency. The Chargers see Ekeler as a 17-20 touch-per-game player, and not just as a runner, as they love him out of the backfield and lined up in the slot as a receiver. The Bolts will still likely complement Ekeler with Justin Jackson or another back if Gordon departs, but Ekeler should be the primary back in LA's 2020 offense, giving him clear RB1 upside for fantasy owners.
