Fantasy Football Week 6 bold prediction No. 2: Austin Ekeler is the RB1
Austin Ekeler owners have had to be patient as he has been hurt since playing in Week 1, but patience will pay off this week against a tough Dallas Cowboys defense.
The Chargers are coming off of their bye week and will be getting a Cowboys team that was just pummeled last Sunday night by the San Francisco 49ers. Ekeler will make the most of his touches, like he generally always does, and have a big day against big D.
Bold prediction: Austin Ekeler has 150 combined yards of offense, 8 receptions, and 2 TDs
Fantasy Football Week 6 bold prediction No. 3: Jonathan Taylor has another quiet day
Jonathan Taylor finally got onto the football field last week for the Indianapolis Colts and millions of fantasy players everywhere, but he saw just six carries for 18 yards.
The Colts are still riding Zack Moss and appear to be easing Taylor back into things. There is no doubt that Taylor is still the RB1 there after agreeing to a three-year, $42 million extension with the team.
But this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, on the road, Taylor will likely put up meager stats again. It's difficult to sit him because his name carries major value, but unless your other options are just putrid, it might be best to leave Taylor on the bench again this week.
Bold prediction: Jonathan Taylor has less than 10 carries and less than 40 yards
