Ease of Pass D Efficiency of Opponents: 3rd
Ease of Rush D Efficiency of Opponents: 6th
While it seems like a hot take to say Austin Ekeler could be the highest-scoring back in fantasy football the rest of the season, it’s entirely reasonable to expect.
As noted above, the Chargers’ schedule of opposing defenses is a total cakewalk. The Patriots and their 31st-ranked defense (DVOA) come to town in Week 13, then the Chargers draw matchups with the Falcons, Raiders, Broncos, and Chiefs. That’s especially juicy for a pass-catching running back.
