Who to claim...Austin Ekeler or Chris Thompson?

[Fearsome 22]

Need to add a RB from a rather uninspiring group of available backs. These two, are what I feel, the top two available. Others include Richard, Martin, I. Smith, Duke, Hines, Buck, Gore, Blount, Henry, J. Williams, Montgomery and Booker. Standard non-PPR scoring.

Of the two, I think Thompson has more ROS potential as I feel he has more opportunities than Ekeler does. Gordon dominates for LAC leaving just 6-8 touches per game for Ekeler. Thompson sees a lot more and Alex Smith loves to check down. LAC has a lot more weapons than the Redskins as well.

Thoughts on who of the two I should grab, or make a case for another of the backs listed. Thanks!

I am with weepaws....Austin Ekeler is the answer.

Ekeler by far. Thompson is out this week and Gordon is beginning to wear down. He may be in jeopardy of playing this week, actually.
