Austin Ekeler expected to play in Week 1

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: Barring any type of a setback, Ekeler will play in the season opener against the Football Team. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but has since returned, further solidifying his playing status. As long as Ekeler is active and no limitations are suggested, he should be in all fantasy lineups despite a tough matchup against Washington.
