dope man Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Using the eye test this kid looks pretty good. I want to use a roster spot for him but I am waivering on how he might be used with Gordon there. I guess I would like to hear some of your trusted thoughts on this guy moving forward. I know the late fumble hurts the kid a little, but he was putting in effort Sunday! Thanks Guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 IMO he has passed Oliver as the B/U to Gordon and is worthy of a roster spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyBub Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think he's worthy of a roster spot, a handcuff to Gordon if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 All I know is I made a big trade to get Gordon before the bye, and I was not happy to see how many touches Ekeler got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gordon goes down, Ekeler is going to be very productive much like Freeman a couple years ago. Otherwise it may turn into a timeshare, like Freeman/Coleman now. At least both are worth starting.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 so really strange....I ended up landing ekeler last night I had been eyeing/keeping an eye on him the last month or so...but due to bye weeks and holding some guys out of hope or because they are next in line if a starter gets injured I never made the move this is a high stakes/competitive league....we have had probably somewhere in the range of 180 drop/adds at $20 bucks a pop.......of course now is the time the bye weeks are just about over and also a lot of teams are feeling they are out of it and wont be spending money....and of course there are a few teams already out of blind bid money I didn't have a ton of money left...about 120 of the 500....I put in, what I thought was, a lowball bid on ekeler just for the heck of it.....like 37 bucks......and to my surprise nobody else bid on him....I was very surprised that I landed him and no one else even tried... I realize he had a crucial fumble that cost them the game.....and I also realize this comparison might be a stretch...but both ingram and kamara had a fumble(ingram a couple) in the last few weeks.....now in no way am I'm comparing Gordon/ekeler to ingram/kamara.......but I think fumbles are more random than anything else......I know ekeler doesn't have the veteran rep like ingram or a jon stewart ....but I think some people may be overthinking the fumble/doghouse angle.... there is some speculation that Gordon might be playing hurt....and ekeler has some juice......im definitely feeling him as a late season bench guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ekeler plays at Dallas on Thanksgiving, likely with no Sean Lee in the lineup. I picked him up in both leagues in case he shows some spark again this week. The Chargers/Cowboys game might be a shootout, I could see him getting loose once or twice in that game. I also have my eye on Benjamin for next Thursday. He's available in both of those leagues as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Just love seeing him in there in the redzone instead of Gordon. SMH Edited November 24, 2017 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Gordon can't create and doesn't have elusiveness. Ekeler is a superior talent but I doubt he unseats Gordon this year. Next year, however, things could and should change in the Charger backfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
