Mike FF Today 611 Posted October 20, 2018 He was limited in practice Friday with a hamstring injury. Since the Chargers are playing early in London tomorrow (9:30 AM Eastern), you'll need to get up early and check the inactives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted October 20, 2018 Regardless of whether he plays or not, this would seem to make Ekeler an even better flex than usual.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yupper 6 Posted October 20, 2018 If Gordon sits would Eckler be a RB 1? Would you play Eckler or K. Drake vs. Det? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tecklc2112 7 Posted October 20, 2018 Considering the Chargers have a week 8 bye, they may be more inclined to play it safe & bench Gordon even if he could play through it. Ekeler is a borderline RB1 tomorrow if he gets the start, especially in PPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted October 20, 2018 They just signed a RB from their practice squad to the active roster. That's never a good sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gitrdun 16 Posted October 20, 2018 Not good news. I guess I will move him into my flex and then decide between Duke, Sanu or Ebron in a ppr league. Any thoughts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimaveli 119 Posted October 20, 2018 Frickitty frick! Lenny in one league. Melvin in the other. At least I have Ekeler in both. Lets hope they just say Gordon is out and dont pull an Alfred Morris with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Cubs 134 Posted October 20, 2018 Playing against him in both leagues this week. Not wishing anything bad on him. That being said it might be in his best interest to sit this week to avoid bigger problems in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonewall 647 Posted October 21, 2018 Gordon (hamstring) is likely to be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Titans in London, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Spin: Gordon was downgraded to questionable earlier Saturday after initially not receiving an injury designation. The Chargers also signed running back Detrez Newsome for depth purposes, which is hardly a good sign for Gordon's potential availability. Kickoff for Sunday's game is at 9:30 a.m. EDT, so fantasy owners will need to be ready for a potential lineup change come morning. Should the 25-year-old be unable to suit up, Austin Ekeler figures to be in line for a heavy workload against the Titans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cousinal111 57 Posted October 21, 2018 The good thing is they'll announce prior to the game which is 9:30 AM Eastern. This way you can adjust accordingly. It'd suck if he had a late game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sperri40 12 Posted October 21, 2018 Currently have Kerryon and Hunt with John Brown at flex would you play Ekeler over Kerryon or Brown if Gordon is out I have the same call to make re: Ekeler vs. Kerryon. I'm not loving it because I think Kerryon will get quite a bit more work today with Riddick out, but Ekelr has ZERO competition for snaps today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimaveli 119 Posted October 21, 2018 Now it is a matter of if we all get Shannied with Ekeler. Some folks have hoped for a Gordon injury since Ekeler had some moments last year. Here we are. Does he get the bulk of the work? Or does some other dude pop in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cretins 21 Posted October 21, 2018 The highs and lows of fantasy football. Excitement when Hyde got traded (I had Chubby on my bench), only to be followed by this. Guess I'm playing Chubby over Gordon. Can't say I'm overly excited by that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimaveli 119 Posted October 21, 2018 Hey...folks are concerned. Sometimes it needs to be said. And btw: Allen isn't a WR1 and hasn't been one since week 1. Folks are starting to get restless. I am personally autostarting him due to lack of reasonable alternatives in the league where I have him, but I would like a TD and/or a 10 for 110 soon.

SpenceToons 70 Posted October 21, 2018 The highs and lows of fantasy football. And the vicissitudes of FF. This is my worst bye week of the year and I had started out feeling poor. I picked up Barber who I felt may have a good game against CLE and now here's Ekeler coming off my bench. Now, suddenly, I'm going to have to sit someone this week I don't want to.

sperri40 12 Posted October 21, 2018 Here's a crazy idea- let's get Ekeler to the edge instead of up the middle EVERY time where he has ZERO room. Also, Kerryon is clearly going to rush for 190 yards and 3 TDs today... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
