Austin Ekeler Week 14 Outlook -

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 7th 2023, 1:05pm EST

Ekeler is the RB15 in fantasy, ranking tenth in opportunity share, 21st in weighted opportunities, and 16th in red zone touches. Since Week 6, he has averaged 17.2 touches and 72.1 total yards. At this juncture, I don't know if we will see the 2022 version of Ekeler this season. He has looked a step slow all season. This could be due to the ankle sprain or volume adding up. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 36th in explosive run rate and 52nd in missed tackles forced per attempt. At this point, the hope is that Denver will be the magic elixir to get Ekeler jump-started again. Since Week 8, Denver has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate and the tenth-highest missed tackles per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
