RecapAustin Ekeler rushed nine times for 26 yards in the Commanders’ Week 10 win over the Giants, adding 26 yards on four receptions.
The veteran in-season addition’s 13 opportunities matched that of starter Rachaad White, the latter of whom played the team’s first two drives before splitting the workload the rest of the way. Ekeler also split red zone work, although it was White that nearly missed a touchdown on a seven-yard run that was tackled at the one in the second quarter. Either way, the near-even split between the two caps the fantasy upside of both backs in the absence of Jacory Croskey-Merritt, with neither on the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 11 meeting with the Bengals.
