Austin Ekeler's Fantasy Scouting Report

2018 FANTASY RECAP WITH DOWNWARD TREND PROJECTED FOR 2019

Austin Ekeler had a good, but not elite, year in fantasy. He was the number #24 ranked RB and the #88 ranked player overall. Even though he missed a few games, he played enough to make his overall fantasy rank better than what it is based on average fantasy points where he is the #30 RB. Ekeler did not show a clear upward or downward trend as the season progressed. He averaged 11.5 FPs in his first 4 games, 7.6 in the middle of his season and 10.9 in his final 10.9 games. His fantasy production is stable and he is not as volatile as most players based on a below average standard deviation. Our projected ceiling for Ekeler when he 'goes off' is 19 fantasy points (his average is 9.9FPs) with a floor of 3 points. Austin Ekeler (2019 Season Projection: 102 Rush, 510 Yards, 2.9 TDs, 35 Rec, 342 Yards, 2.3 TDs) is projected to take a significant step downward in the upcoming fantasy season. His rank based on total projected fantasy points has him as the #35 player at his position.

DAILY FANTASY SEASON RECAP

His FanDuel average was 10.6 points and on DraftKings it was 12.1 per game. We used his second highest game as his ceiling and second lowest as his floor. On DraftKings his floor was 1.9 and on FanDuel it was 1.9 fantasy points. When he was good, he was very good with a DraftKings ceiling of 23.6 and 21.1 on FanDuel. He has had more bad FanDuel games (below average by 20%) than good games (20% above average), and the same was true on DraftKings. We are only including games where they were in the daily fantasy slate and played.
