Austin Ekeler Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Sat, Aug 30th 2025, 12:53pm EDT

Austin Ekeler has an ADP in low-end range, but he was productive when healthy last year and is playing in an exciting, up-and-coming offense in Washington. Ekeler scored double-digit PPR points in 8-of-12 games last season and finished RB31 in fantasy points per game. When Brian Robinson Jr. missed a pair of midseason games with a hamstring injury, Ekeler had 134 yards from scrimmage and scored three touchdowns in those two contests. I'm not expecting a return to the high-end RB1 days for the 30-year-old Ekeler, but I think he's a value in the later rounds. Ekeler's value shouldn't be affected by the emergence of seventh-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who could replace Robinson as the Commanders' primary early-down back.
