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.

Zay Flowers Losing Value as Ravens Change Quarterbacks Again

Thursday, November 12, 5:40 AM

Baltimore wide receiver Zay Flowers came into the season as one of the top fantasy pass catchers, but he's lost value after the team saw Lamar Jackson (finger) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe) go down with injuries. The Ravens tried Joe Fagnano in Week 9, and Flowers produced just six yards on three receptions and six targets, while carrying the ball three times for 17 yards. Flowers had no catches across five targets in Week 8, so he's trending down and is a riskier starting option for Week 10. Flowers has 614 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 43 catches and 64 targets, while carrying the ball six times for 51 yards. Things could improve with Jacoby Brissett now starting, but some fantasy owners might struggle starting Flowers this week, and going forward if his numbers don't improve soon.
