The veteran running back wasn't targeted in the passing game on a night when Jayden Daniels attempted 29 passes. Involved in a three-way backfield that also includes Rachaad White and Jeremy McNichols (foot), Ekeler has minimal fantasy appeal headed into next Sunday's matchup with the Rams' strong defense. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) is required to miss at least one more game on injured reserve.
