Austin Ekeler Downgraded, Won't Play In Week 2
one year ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Titans. The 28-year-old looked great in Week 1, amassing 117 yards and a touchdown while pulling in four of his five targets. The situation doesn't sound promising, considering Ekeler was downgraded long before kickoff, meaning his absence could be more than a one-time occurrence. As a result, Joshua Kelley is expected to see a substantial increase in production in Week 2. Kelley was nearly as productive as Ekeler in the regular-season opener, totaling 91 yards on the ground and scoring a touchdown of his own. He also saw plenty of work inside the Red Zone. That said, Kelley should be scooped off waivers as soon as possible, although he's likely no longer available in most leagues.
