Austin Ekeler Suffers Significant Hamstring Injury, Season Not Over

The best case scenario for Austin Ekeler's injury has come to pass. His season is not over, but will miss 4-6 weeks with a significant hamstring injury. A November return is likely, and the Chargers will have to find a way to compensate for his loss. Josh Kelley has been splitting carries with Ekeler this season with Justin Jackson serving in a reserve role, leaving Kelley's current fantasy value at an all time high. With a young promising QB like Justin Herbert under center, they'll miss Ekeler greatly in the pass game and may need to sign another pass catching RB to fill the void.
