Fantasy Football Draft Advice: Austin Ekeler

Here’s our 2023 fantasy football outlook for Austin Ekeler.

No player has scored more touchdowns over the past two seasons than Austin Ekeler. The Chargers’ red-zone machine scored 18 TDs (five receiving, 13 rushing) a year after scoring 20 touchdowns in 2021. Simply put, those that faded Ekeler due to TD regression narratives got burned this past season. And the touchdowns were just a part of Ekeler’s RB1 finish in half-point scoring, as he led all RBs in receptions and targets, which substantially boosted his fantasy numbers. Ekeler was fully unlocked as a receiver, with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams combining for 13 missed games. Until the Chargers WRs can prove they can stand the test of a 17-game season, Ekeler will remain the focal point of LA’s offense, especially if the Chargers fail to make any worthwhile addition in their backfield because nobody currently on the depth chart is “forcing” their way onto the field.
