And today’s nfl is much different from the past. A back that can split out wide and catch passes is way more valuable than a guy that’s only good for handoffs up the middle. Ekeler can easily thrive in this offense as he’s shown that already with Gordon out. He missed months and has only played 2 games, I’m gonna lean towards his resume here. Ekeler can ABSOLUTELY thrive in this offense for fantasy purposes. Over a 16 game season though? Gordon has showed he can catch passes, he’s not just a banger. You need balance in the NFL. No teams will respect the run with Ekeler lining up at tailback. He’s a great player in space. He’s a roll player though, not a franchise running back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You’re fighting an uphill battle my friend. Like Gordon was with his holdout. Which Ekeler's stellar play ended... Edited October 20, 2019 by Sticky2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Melvin Gordon came out and said ekelers play forced him to come back? Crazy, I must’ve missed him saying that. This is getting quite old, Ekeler is going to get phased out more and more. Gordon is the man, a true 3 down back. It’ll be 70/30 split before ya know it and Ekeler will just be a handcuff that you once loved. I get it, I hope your fantasy team does okay still. Best of luck. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like ending your holdout early because Ekeler is balling out of his mind and you will end up with nothing to show for it and diminished value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had some huge receiving lines last year before being derailed by injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am hoping both players cancel each other out allowing me easy access to a championship while laughing at the pointless back and forth in this worthless thread! Neither Ekeler nor Gordon will lead any of you to a title! LMAO!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that fumble sealed his fate. He just doesn’t belong. At least not on this team. This is a prime example of when holding out goes horribly wrong. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aapox 896 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Unless they trade him Gordon isn’t going anywhere. He still got the majority of the carries and most of ekelers production came in a receiver when they were chasing points. Granted, he looked great doing it. I’m hoping they trade Gordon. I need a dependable RB2 so bad 😭 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if I had to pick whose winning this race it would be ekeler. Edited October 21, 2019 by StevenSC400 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
