Austin Ekeler embraces on-field success carrying over to fantasy football

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen can admit a mistake when he makes one.

Recently, Allen expressed regret about passing over Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler with the first overall pick in his fantasy football draft.

“I’ve typically had some success, this year not so much,” Allen said about his fantasy football squad. “I messed up by not drafting Austin.”

Ironically, Allen told that to Ekeler on the running back’s weekly Yahoo! podcast, “Ekeler’s Edge.”

Surely, however, it’s a sentiment shared by countless other fantasy owners, and likely several NFL general managers, as the 2017 undrafted free agent from Western Colorado University -- a Division II program -- continues to prove his NFL worth both in fantasy and reality.
