Austin Ekeler Has Quiet Day In Week 7 Victory

Sunday, October 20, 7:27 PM

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler had a quiet showing in their Week 7 dismantling of the Carolina Panthers. Ekeler ran the ball just four times for a mere 17 yards. In the passing game, he brought in both of his targets just three yards. This was his lowest output of the season, both on the ground and through the air. However, the game script for the pass-catching back was not too positive, as the Commanders were up by multiple scores all evening. Fantasy managers in PPR leagues should continue to view Ekeler as a low-end flex option heading into their Week 8 tilt against the Chicago Bears.

Blake Corum Not Yet A Fantasy Option

Saturday, September 21, 8:35 AM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should not be on the fantasy radar yet and that will again be the case in Week 3 against the 49ers. The Michigan rookie was more involved in Week 2 at Arizona but that was largely because the Rams were getting blown out by the Cardinals. He saw eight carries for 28 yards and did not catch a pass out of the backfield. The Rams could shift to a more run-heavy approach with Puka Nacua (knee) and Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined. That could mean more touches for Corum as he spells Kyren Williams. But until Corum proves to be featured more in this offense, he should be rostered only as a handcuff for Williams. There is plenty of talent there with Corum but the opportunity is not there at the moment.
