Best fantasy football matchups for Week 9

5. RB Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Philadelphia Eagles)

Austin Ekeler has been a PPR stud so far in 2021, checking in as the overall RB2 in total fantasy points just behind Derrick Henry. He gets a mouthwatering Week 9 matchup against the Eagles who have been 27th in fantasy points allowed to running backs.

Ekeler is averaging just under 17 touches per game, which is elite usage in fantasy football. Expect that usage to be evident with even more on the table in a potential blowout. He’s a lock for top-ten running back production this week.
