How will Austin Ekeler perform with a much larger workload?

Chargers fans were very excited to see if Austin Ekeler could expand on his very explosive rookie season, and in 2018 he did just that. Ekeler appeared in 14 games and finished with 39 receptions for 404 yards and three touchdowns, as well as rushed 106 times for 554 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and added another three touchdowns. In his first two years, Ekeler has proven that when given an opportunity, he can produce for the team.

How will Ekeler handle a larger number of carries, then, since his career high with the Chargers is 106 and Melvin Gordon‘s is 284?
