One of the major stories of the offseason throughout the NFL was the running back free agency market, and Austin Ekeler was one the backs upset with his contract situation.'With Ekeler looking for a new contract that it seems the Chargers aren’t willing to pay him, he will be playing to try to prove something this season while also putting out film to the other 31 teams in the NFL.
Below, we look at'Austin Ekeler‘s 2023 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Ekeler is a top back because of the amount of touches he gets in both the running and passing games, as he eclipsed 200 rushing attempts and 125 passing targets last year.'Ekeler is one of the favorite targets for QB'Justin Herbert in a very talented Chargers offense. He has been a top fantasy back for each of the last 2 years, and I expect nothing less from him entering the 2023 season.
Austin Ekeler’s ADP: 11.29
