Austin Ekeler had one of the most valuable receiving seasons for a RB ever

No running back had more value per pass attempt towards them than Mark Ingram of the Baltimore Ravens. Ingram had a DVOA of 66.6% on throws his way, which was first by a huge stretch:

And Austin Ekeler was third at 39.1%.

But there is a key difference between those three: Ingram and Juszczk had 54 targets combined. Ekeler had 108 targets on his own. With 92 receptions vs only 16 incompletions (insane that this wasn’t an even bigger story), Ekeler finished with 993 yards and eight touchdowns.
