Austin Ekeler
RB
Washington Commanders
- Teammate Terry McLaurin (a top target) is on IR, so Ekeler may see more targets.
- Backfield mate Jacory Croskey-Merritt is on IR, so Ekeler could see more carries.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how RBs have played against the Eagles in the 2026 season.

How Austin Ekeler should do vs the EaglesSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Eagles, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Austin Ekeler has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Eagles opponents to line them up with: the best RB they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Austin Ekeler will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Eagles avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Austin Ekeler's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Austin Ekeler usually produces.
Projected is Austin Ekeler's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Eagles were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Ekeler averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
