Austin Ekeler saw his role reduced in the previous week, but his role was quickly restored by interim head coach Giff Smith. Ekeler had a solid performance in the game against the Bills, rushing 15 times for 63 yards and catching three of four targets for 21 yards. This has been a down year for Ekeler due to injuries, but his improved play and high touch count make him a good fantasy play for the next game against Denver.
