nah bro he had 20 tds last season, if anything we need to use him less so his body doesn't break down, hopefully one of the other backs can play at at least a league average level so we don't need to use ekeler in short yardage situations
@@jeremyshiu yeah, absolutely, they drafted and rb in the second round, i think, just so ekeler can spend less time on the field instead of getting 30 touches, there's no point to him getting 2000 scrimmage yards in the regular season, he needs to get 130 in every playoff game and dominate like that steelers game, he'll definitely have less yards and tds and likely lose some goal line carriers so he doesn't get bruised up for no reason

I was stuck in traffic for the first two rounds of my fantasy draft, the cpu drafted Christian McCaffrey in the first and Austin Eckler in the second.

Feels like watching LT in his early days. He probably won't be top 5 all time like LT but hopefully he can have a HOF career if he keeps this up for the next 8 or so years
23 is about right. He scored the most touchdowns in the entire league and top five total scrimmage yards. One of the best offensive weapons in the league. Stats don’t lie
@@likuidmethod all I hear is facts but cmon 23 I know he had like 18 or 19 total tds but u still have kamara,Jonathan Taylor,Derrick Henry,nick chubb,and Calvin cook.Ek is def a top 8 rb and prob the best reviving back if mcaffrey is hurt but 23 is to high is say about 45-37
@@cashkee190 a lot of what you say is true if you strictly see him as a RB. But as an overall offensive weapon which is what players are these days, he's up there with the best of them
Ekeler is my favorite player. So shifty, great pass catcher, huge red zone threat at his small size, amazing story as an undrafted guy, loves fantasy football, and such a fun personality.
Ekler popped the first time he got the ball in preseason.. intelligent,durable,elusive, quick and strong 🙏thank you for putting some respect on this man's name
I don’t care how my Fantasy league reacts I’m taking him at 3. Pound for pound strongest, elusive, ability to catch, and a mean offensive line up front.
@@BigBrownGaga I would say most are afraid of McCaffrey so there’s definitely an argument to be made. First pick is hard because of the season Jonothan Taylor had.
My only issue with him has been the same thing since his rookie year and it’s his fumbling at the worst moments in games. I will say he’s gotten better at holding onto that ball but he has yet to finish a season without fumbling the ball. Aside from that problem he has literally improved his game so much with every season and I’m happy we have him and gave him the starting spot over Melvin Gordon that’s for damn sure
Whoever reading this, I pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine I wish you the best of what life has to offer.❤️👏👏
He's about to pass up another ex- Charger Sproles in TD's in less than half of Sproles career. 1 less than Julio Jones in half the amount of time. If he can get 15 more TD's next year he'll be in the top 70 players in history in 6 freaking years of playing. Better than a lot of hall of famers did in twice the amount of seasones.
From D2 recruit, to undrafted free agent, to top 100 NFL player. Dude is the literal definition of patience and hard work ⚡🔥
top 50 too!
Also include undersized for position!
And he’s only 5’8!! He’s listed at 5’10 but he’s 5’8.
From being Melvin Gordon’s backup to becoming the best receiving running back in the league!
As a raiders fan I’ll admit I haven’t feared a chargers running since the days of LT and Sproles the way I do ekler. Underrated af
Finally got the respect he needs
Long overdue, and I'm a KC fan.
Should’ve been higher
I’m surprised Mike Williams ain’t make it
Any Chargers player aside from Herbert, Joey Bosa, or Derwin feels underrated and Ekeler is no exception.
Maybe it’s because they aren’t actually good? Not even a playoff team and people act like they’re super bowl favorites

besides keenan (imo hes overrated)

Him and Chubb should be much higher. They are my 2 picks for most underrated runningbacks in the top 100.

He's underrated
Such a monster, 5’10 mismatch. He can run, he can catch. The complete back.
5'10" is quite generous haha no way he's over 5'8"

Glad he's getting some respect. He should have made the pro-bowl last year.
Last two years
Although since being undrafted he's been busting his ass off with the Chargers
One of the greatest running backs in the NFL! Best working man in the Chargers training camp! Go Chargers. My Team!

I think all Ekeler Fantasy owners know he should be wayyy higher 😂
Dude shoulda been on the list 3 years ago
Underrated
Fantasy god
20TDs and didn’t make the pro bowl
He should of been higher than 46 like in the mid 20s plus he had a 20 touchdowns

He should be way higher then this tbh
He works out in the gym to why he's so powerful
Reminds me of Sprolls lol
nah pullups with one hand is crazy 🤣
Undrafted, jesus, they are overpaying these scouts. 😂😂
😂😂
EKe like a taller Sproles maxed out on strength.
BOLT UP
Do I draft him 2nd in non ppr? I think im out on Henry cook mcaff and I need an RB. I also like Najee harris and chase but at 2nd overall??
Who still plays non ppr?it's like playing Atari 😉 probably not a 2nd pick in non but you could do worse

20 total TDs and wasn’t a pro bowler… abolish fan voting
One of those backs , that you’ve gotta find 25-30 touches . In the mold of Alvin Kamara
Ekeler over kamara is wild
Had better stats last year than Kamara, had 20 tds compared to Kamara's 9
where r u at?
He reminds me of pocket lightning Darren Sproles!
Go Chargers

Whatever Austin Ekeler does, at that height, is not normal.
That moment when you combine David Goggins with the NFL..Austin Eckler
He’s literally never rushed for 1k yards in a season tho
1:30 grab his legs what were they doing
I feel like he sho7ld be too 20 he’s a top 3 Rb ❤😂
He was at my school career day it was a zoom
Should’ve shown him using the fans guitar at the end
