Fried Pork Grind 524 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I took Gordon with the 60th pick and Ekeler with the 80th. If you own one you have to own both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mortman212 324 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I took Ekeler with the 86th pick, did not want to waste a pick on Gordon. My last pick in round 16 was Jackson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viciousphilpy 60 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Ekeler is one of those guys who you can get late in leagues where there are non-sharp guys. Know your league, he should be a 4th rounder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viciousphilpy 60 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Gordon went in the early third in my 16 team league. The owner danced, so did I lol. i got Ekeler in the 4th. (Pick 77) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you own one you have to own both. I'd have to say if you own Ekeler you have to own Jackson both have standalone value as long as Gordon holds out another benefit is you've got two RB's that isn't a bye week worry until week 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We kind of need to see how it plays out. Ekeler is a solid flex TB 2 IMO with Gordon our. I don’t know that Jackson is either one of those right now, but that could change if he balls out and takes touches from Ekeler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then in the second half of the season when/if Gordon returns you are dead in the water. Just think of the upside (with risk of owning both). You basically have a solid RB2 no matter the Gordon situation as long as Ekeler plays well (which he has). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wendellrott 504 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 if Gordon goes to the Max with his holdout the earliest that he'd see the field is week 13 after the bye great for the playoffs but you gotta' get there first Quote Link to post Share on other sites

viciousphilpy 60 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Idk how you draft, but starting RB for the Chargers for ten weeks is worthy of being a top 50 player in my book. Not to mention Ekeler is a talented player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most teams won't be exactly the same by that point. Trades and ww gems will emerge. Win each week one week at a time. Ekeler helps accomplish that goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jackson in rd 10-12 turn.... way cheaper than stashing Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that changes this year and he turns into a RB3 but I personally wouldn’t count on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the three games Gordon missed that Ekeler played in, Ekeler averaged 12.17 FP's per game in 1 point PPR. That would project out to 194.72 FP's in 16 games, good for the #20 RB.

dmody91 160 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Jackson had 1 game of opportunity last year and got a few carries and was decent. They gave ekeler the majority of the carries in that game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
