BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler could be slated to start once again on Thursday evening and should be viewed as a solid RB2 facing the Philadelphia Eagles.
Over the past two weeks, Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has been sidelined, opening the door for Ekeler to see starting reps. During these two games, the former Charger has found the end zone three times and averaged an impressive 17.7 PPR points per game.

Prior to this stretch, Ekeler has typically served as the bona fide third-down option and change-of-pace running back behind Robinson. In these seven games, Ekeler eclipsed double-digit PPR points in five of them and caught at least two passes in each.
Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Robinson's status leading up to kickoff. If he is unable to suit up, Ekeler should be locked into all lineups as an RB2 with upside. If he can play, Ekeler would revert back to a flex option in PPR formats.
