Late Round Flier: Justin Jackson, Don't Leave Home Without Him.

The cat is out of the bag with Austin Ekeler. He peppered in some monster PPR scores throughout 2019 after having the second-most receptions by a RB (92). With Philip Rivers now in Indianapolis and the Chargers having to rely on Tyrod Taylor (or Justin Herbert), I think this pushes the offense to be even more reliant on Ekeler while also striking a better pass/run balance. Los Angeles had the fifth-fewest rushing attempts last season.

As to not show their hand, I expect the Chargers to move around Ekeler and get Justin Jackson on the field as a decoy to hide their intention.
