Give me the guy that's getting a sustainable 20+ touches per game.
And that's already factoring the emergence of Kelley.
But hey, congrats on the 46 yard run.

LF had over 100 yds and 2 tds on 16 touches so even if you negate the 46 yard run he still had 70 yards and a td. He out touched Ronald Jones aNd His usage should only grow if he keeps making plays.

Ekeler actually looks more encouraging to me with Justin Herbert at qb. However he was out touched by Josh Kelley and Kelley is still getting the goal line looks. You say ekeler has a sustainable 20 plus touches a game. However, he has had exactly 20 touches in the Both games. And in a game where they ran the ball 39 times. Kelley out carried ekeler 23-16. Now ekeler is definitely the better back and this may not be the norm but shows that the chargers are committed to sharing the load. However, I like ekeler a lot more today than I did last week but Lynn said yesterday that Tyrod is still the starter.
