Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Depth/upside bet — RB role isn't locked starter volume yet.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
WatchEkeler ran for 43 yards and caught 5 passes in 2025, finishing RB102. He scored about 30% less than his touches said he should. RB35 slipped to RB102 last year; that's the warning. Only 2 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
