Chargers Riding Hot Hand At Running Back, Austin Ekeler To Start

12 months ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will draw the start in Week 14 versus the Denver Broncos, according to NFL Network. However, he will split touches with Joshua Kelley and Isaiah Spiller, and the team will ride the hot hand at running back. It's an intriguing storyline to follow given that Ekeler has massively underperformed in recent weeks. However, Kelly hasn't been flashy, either, and Spiller hasn't been active since Week 8 (but has been confirmed as active for this Sunday, per Rapoport). For the time being, Ekeler remains the only player in this backfield worth starting in fantasy football.
