Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler was productive in his limited workload in their victory over the Chicago Bears. Ekeler tallied an impressive 52 yards on seven attempts (7.4 yards per carry). He caught two of his three targets for six yards. After totaling double-digit PPR points in each of his first five games, Ekeler has now fallen under that mark in back-to-back outings. The Washington offense struggled to convert in the red zone, limiting the 29-year-old's opportunities for valuable touches. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue to view Ekeler as a low-end flex option, as he will continue to serve as a change-of-pace option in the Washington backfield.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift had an outstanding game against the Washington Commanders, recording 18 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown. He made a game-changing 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, sparking a stagnant Bears offense at a crucial moment. Swift demonstrated his ability to create explosive plays when provided with solid blocking and space to operate. Although it was disappointing that he finished without any receptions, given that Caleb Williams only completed ten passes overall, there's optimism that Swift will see more opportunities in the passing game moving forward. Additionally, it was concerning for Swift's fantasy owners to see Roschon Johnson take goal-line carries, which must be monitored. Swift will aim to maintain his momentum against a vulnerable Arizona Cardinals defense next week.
