This is more juice than we would typically take but I really see this one hitting. Ekeler needs 5 catches, this is a feat that he has accomplished in seven of his last nine games. He failed to do this last game but he hasn't had back-to-back sub-5 reception weeks all year. Ekeler has been more effective in the passing game on the road as he has hit in seven of his last eight road games leading back to last year.
This game against Arizona projects to be close and high scoring which bodes well for us. Ekeler should be utilized mightily and with Mike Williams still injured, I expect some of those targets that would have gone his way to add to Ekeler's already impressive target share. Arizona ranks in the middle of the league against running backs catching the ball but we did just see CMC catch 7 balls last week against them and nine as a member of Carolina earlier in the year. We also saw Kamara grab seven balls in Week 7.
Ekeler joins those two backs as the most feared receiving backs and all we need is five catches. With this projected game script and the Chargers being short-handed I really like our odds here and think it’s worth drinking the juice on. If by the time this gets published it is exclusively at 5.5 I would play at 0.5u for + odds or attempts to live bet and catch a 4.5 during the game. Let's hope for another winner here and let's roll!
