Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams Questionable
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (quadriceps) and wide receiver Mike Williams (back) are both questionable for Thursday night against the division-rival Raiders. Both players were limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, so they both have a good shot at playing. Las Vegas is an excellent matchup for RBs -- they allow the third-most fantasy points per game to the position in 2020 -- and Ekeler totaled 146 yards in the Week 14 win over Atlanta. He's a must-start RB1 if he's active. Williams injured his back in the first half last week and never returned. It sounds like he could return on Thursday, but he's still a risky boom/bust WR4/flex if he returns to action. Rookie Tyron Johnson, who had seven targets last week, could capitalize again against a really shaky Raiders defense if Williams is ruled inactive.
