Since his return in Week 6, Ekeler has averaged 17.3 touches and 78.5 total yards. Since Week 6, among 58 qualifying backs, he has ranked 42nd in explosive run rate and 46th in yards after contact per attempt. Over his last seven games played, Ekeler has surpassed 80 total yards only twice. Ekeler likely won't reverse this concerning trend in Week 13. Since Week 7, New England has allowed the fifth-lowest explosive run rate and the third-lowest missed tackles per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Ekeler still probably sees 15-20 touches this week, and despite the bad matchup, if he falls into the end zone, he'll finish as a top-15 back in fantasy. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2

Austin Ekeler carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and added five receptions for another 32 yards while losing a fumble in a 20-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

Ekeler was quiet on the ground and was held out of the end zone for the second straight game in the loss to Baltimore. He has now lost three fumbles in eight games this season. Ekeler will be back on the map as an RB1 in Week 13 against the Patriots.
