Austin Ekeler A Deep-League Option for Week 10 Against Giants

Wednesday, November 11, 1:28 PM

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler led the backfield with 10 touches in Week 9's loss to the Rams, handling eight carries for 16 yards along with two receptions (three targets) for 18 yards. Ekeler continues to play behind Rachaad White as the lead, though Ekeler's 48.3% snap share in Week 9 was his highest of the season. The 31-year-old also wasn't overly effective on his opportunities, getting outgained by White 34 to 69 on one more touch. Ekeler doesn't project as anything more than a desperation flex on Thursday night against a Giants defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to running backs over the last four weeks. Ekeler ranks as RotoBaller's RB40 for Week 10.

RJ Harvey News

R.J. Harvey Placed on Short-Term IR with Knee Injury

Saturday, October 31, 12:16 PM

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey (knee) has been placed on short-term injured reserve with a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. As a result, the second-year running back will not be eligible to return until December 6 to face the Miami Dolphins (Week 13). Harvey sustained the injury in practice this week but hopes to avoid an extended absence. While he has not been involved much on the ground (averaging just 4.0 attempts per game), he has been a top option in QB Bo Nix's passing attack. Through six games, Harvey has drawn 4.7 targets per game and averaged 36.2 receiving yards per game. While he remains on the shelf, managers should expect J.K. Dobbins to see a larger share of the early-down work, with rookie Jonah Coleman moving up to the No. 2 role in the backfield.
