Austin Ekeler's Usage in Chargers Offense Questioned by Fantasy Managers vs. Chiefs

Thursday's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers was supposed to come with plenty of offensive fireworks and fantasy points.

Someone must have forgotten to tell the teams that during the first half.

Los Angeles took a 10-7 lead into intermission, and running back Austin Ekeler had just 20 yards on seven carries and one catch for negative-three yards. It was not the early-week performance fantasy football players were looking for out of the star playmaker.

What's more, Sony Michel received a handoff at the Kansas City 1-yard line instead of Ekeler before Justin Herbert threw a one-yard score to Zander Horvath.
