BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler will look to put an end to his recent struggles in a Week 13 game against the New England Patriots. Ekeler has put up just 13 fantasy points in his last two games combined, finishing as the fantasy RB32 and 36 in those two weeks. Before that, he put up 20 points for three weeks in a row and finished as a top-six option at his position.
The Patriots defense has been strong against opposing running backs, but Ekeler should still be able to find some room to run, and his involvement in the passing game always helps to boost his fantasy stats. He's a low-end RB1 with clear upside this week.
