Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (high-ankle sprain) is "hopeful" that he can return in Week 4, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. However, with a Week 5 bye, the Chargers could choose to hold him out until Week 6. He had 154 scrimmage yards and one touchdown in the season opener. Until Ekeler can return, Joshua Kelley will operate as the lead back while Isaiah Spiller and rookie Elijah Dotson also earn opportunities.

The Denver Broncos couldn't really lean on their ground game after falling down big to the Miami Dolphins early in Week 3 on Sunday in a record-breaking 70-20 loss. Running back Javonte Williams did lead the backfield yet again with 11 carries, but he produced only 42 yards (3.8 yards per carry) on those 11 rushing attempts. He caught two of his three targets through the air for an additional 23 yards. The 23-year-old is still finding his footing in 2023 after tearing his ACL and LCL in Week 4 of last season against the Las Vegas Raiders, but the good news is that neither Samaje Perine or rookie Jaleel McLaughlin have really threatened Williams' workload early in the year as the Broncos ease him in. A Week 4 matchup against the 0-3 Chicago Bears could be a prime opportunity for Williams to be leaned on heavily next week.
Still trying to decide between Ekeler and Williams? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Austin Ekeler is projected to score 22.4 points this week while Javonte Williams is projected to score 5.8 points.
