Injury Status: Healthy
by Kyle McCarthy
Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler led the backfield with 10 touches in Week 9's loss to the Rams, handling eight carries for 16 yards along with two receptions (three targets) for 18 yards. Ekeler continues to play behind Rachaad White as the lead, though Ekeler's 48.3% snap share in Week 9 was his highest of the season. The 31-year-old also wasn't overly effective on his opportunities, getting outgained by White 34 to 69 on one more touch. Ekeler doesn't project as anything more than a desperation flex on Thursday night against a Giants defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to running backs over the last four weeks. Ekeler ranks as RotoBaller's RB40 for Week 10.
