Austin Ekeler is available. Should I?

I noticed that Austin Ekeler was available in my league. My current 4 RBs are:
Zeke
Kenyan Drake
Melvin Gordon
Leonard Fournette
I obviously wouldn't drop Zeke and Drake is also not a consideration. Thoughts on picking up Ekeler for either Gordon or Fournette?

If no one drafted him, the league should be shut down. If someone dropped him after one week, that person should be kicked out of the league.

Seriously that's idiotic. Spend a 1-3 round draft pick on him and drop him after one week? Jesus.
Anyway who else is on your roster? Out of those 4 RBs, obviously drop Fournette, but maybe you have someone else on your team worth dropping.
The guy in your league who dropped him had to have downvoted me.

I thought ekeler was being over drafted but dropping him is just dumb

Did the other guy in your 2-team league drop him or did Ekeler just not get drafted?

How is this even a question? This is maybe the most insane thread I’ve ever seen on here.

I’m going to play devil’s advocate and say to leave him in free agency. This is with the thought that there is a 4 rb max on your league.
Ekeler has the worst offense of any of your other 4 rbs. He didn’t even break 100 yards against a hammer defense like the bengals. He ceded goal line carries to Kelley. Worst of all he only received one target and Tyrod is not known for passing to running backs. He also is behind a horrendous offensive line.
If Fournette beats out Ronald Jones he can be a league winner in that offense. Just look at what LF did last year on a shitty offense. LF played very limited snaps but he hasn’t had an opportunity to learn the offense yet so it will take a little time. As for Melvin gordon, phillip Lindsay is nursing a turf toe injury. These injuries tend to linger. Both of these players are on better offenses with better olines.
Ekeler was over drafted based off his production the last couple years and the loss of Melvin Gordon. However, Tyrod is not Rivers. Look at what Hines did last week with Rivers. He makes studs out of passing backs. Don’t let Ekeler’s draft value blind you from his actual value.

Is this a two team league? Sign me up. I don’t mind taking advantage of retards.

At some point, the OC will realize he has to use the check-down. Ekler is one of the best RB receivers in the NFL.
