Austin Ekeler Hauls In 10 Passes
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was the team's most targeted receiver on Sunday as he brought in 10 passes for 68 yards. Ekeler also toted the ball five times for 35 yards and a touchdown, and he looks to be the new starter as Melvin Gordon is sidelined with an MCL injury. Ekeler will have big shoes to fill, but he displayed his prowess for finding a way to get open and make things happen in space this week. Expect him to continue to be used regularly in the passing game, even if he's on a pitch-count in the backfield.
