RB Austin Ekeler

Not only did Ekeler step into the starting role when running back Melvin Gordon held out and show his worth, but he didn’t slow down when Gordon came back into the lineup. Weaving his way through defenders with his speed, vision and balance, it’s been hard to slow him down and the statistics show.

Currently Ekeler leads all running backs this season in receptions (65), receiving yards (667), receiving touchdowns (6). He has 11 broken tackles on pass plays and he’s currently averaging 9.5 yards after the catch, where he’s been at his best catching balls out of the backfield or as an additional wide receiver lined up outside.
