Austin Ekeler News

  • Austin Ekeler staying · May 23, 2023

    Austin Ekeler will remain with the Chargers in 2023, the final year of his contract.

    The team added $1.75M to the incentives for 2023, ensuring the leading back will remain motivated and not a team distraction as he plays out the final year of his contract. It's fully expected that 2023 will be his final year in Los Angeles. Recently turned 28, Ekeler continues to pile up production and scored a combined 18 touchdowns in 2022, short of his career-high mark of 20 in 2021. Ekeler is found as DLF's RB8 and is an intriguing dynasty acquisition for potential late-career production.

  • Austin Ekeler clarifies situation · Apr 5, 2023

    Austin Ekeler said his "worst case" scenario is that he returns to the Chargers to play out his final year.

    That was always the likely worst-case scenario though it's good to hear him acknowledge the possibility of playing out his final contract year with the team. The issue, as Ekeler is learning first hand, is that he'll turn 28 in May and will be a 29-year-old free agent in a league where running back values continue devalue almost daily. There are few backs better than Austin Ekeler, DLF's RB7, but his best value remains with the Chargers and his value is about to enter steep decline. He's a "sell now" asset for uncompetitive dynasty asset but his target market window is closing quickly.

  • Austin Ekeler granted trade request · Mar 14, 2023

    The Chargers have reportedly granted Austin Ekeler permission to seek a trade elsewhere.

    Well, this escalated quickly. Ekeler requested permission yesterday after he and the Chargers failed to agree on a contract extension. The Chargers have reportedly allowed Ekeler and his agent to seek employment elsewhere via a trade. While this far from a done deal, the chances Ekeler remains in fantasy friendly Los Angeles seem remote at this point. This is a developing story that has massive ramifications in dynasty leagues. Stay tuned.

  • Austin Ekeler requests a trade · Mar 13, 2023

    Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has reportedly requested a trade after failing to come to an agreement on a new contract with Los Angeles,

    This could be nothing. It could also be the biggest storyline of the fantasy off-season (no offense, Aaron Rodgers). Ekeler has been flat out dominant during his time with the Chargers and last season was a highlight as he ran for 915 yards, caught a ridiculous 107 passes, posted 722 receiving yards and scored a grand total of 18 touchdowns, making him one of the single best weapons in all of fantasy football. Ekeler will turn 28 this off-season, but he also doesn't have a lot of wear and tear like most backs do at that age. Currently our RB7, this is a massive story to watch in the coming days,
