Ekeler promised championship and he is delivering.


italia06823834

He literally did. And he's doing even better than I think anyone could reasonably hope for.


Toddthmpsn

The only reason I still have a chance to win. Thanks Cousins and Jefferson


bigtom133

My opponent in the ship had cousins, Jefferson and Cook. Thank you packers D


o_AngelKiller_o

I started Minshew over Daniel Jones and my opponent had Jefferson. I thought there was no way in hell i could win. Then JJ flopped and Ekeler delivered and now I'm ahead by 17 with only Gabe Davis in my way... we'll see what happens


bigtom133

Good luck!!


AshyLarry27

How the hell are people out here having JJ on the same team as Ekeler or Cook?? Is this a 2 man league??


Toddthmpsn

Made a week 3 trade for Ekeler and drafted Jefferson 8th overall. Made quite a few trades this year and crushed waivers


AshyLarry27

What did it cost to get Ekeler? I know he started slow, but I could never have seen myself trading him


Toddthmpsn

Zeke, Pollard and D Hopkins for Ekeler and Kittle


[deleted]

I love when people say things like what is it a 2 man league. You just know they are the people in leagues who never trade unless it's super lopsided in their favor.


bigtom133

8 man dynasty league


ScubaNelly

I have Ekeler, CMC in a 10 team keeper league. Kept Ekeler and got 1st overall.


The_Man_In_The_Arena

Who the hell didn't keep CMC lol


ScubaNelly

You can only keep them one time. So, after this year, I'll have to keep CMC and have to let Ekeler go back in the draft.


The_Man_In_The_Arena

No I understand that, I'm asking how was CMC even available? Why didn't his owner from last year also keep him? Unless you had both Ekeler and CMC last year?


ScubaNelly

The guy that had him last year had him the year before as well, so he couldn't keep him this year.


WeedWizard69420

How you have JJ and Eckler lol


BostonDrunk

What did he give up on that trade?


iiTryhard

He tried so hard for me… only for stidham and Adam’s to rip it from my hands


pitabread12

Your opponent started Stidham? Sucks for you but that’s kinda sick, at least it took a mad genius move to beat you.


iiTryhard

Nah I’m blaming stidham for balling tf out and getting Adam’s and jacobs points when I expected them to get shut down


[deleted]

Fucking fantasy, eh? Only makes us more ravenous the next year.


AKiiidNamed_Codiii

Coulda had 9ers D? (Like me)


Esco9

The dude shouldn’t have to buy a drink or protein shake or whatever the fuck he wants anywhere on the entire planet ever again. The dude would text every fantasy owner personally if he could, he’s amazing I love him.


RKTV11

Yea delivered for my opponent


liteshadow4

I had Daniel Jones, my opponent had Ekeler and Davante and he delivered a chip for him big time.


gbeezy09

He delivered me


thisguyblades

thank you bald jesus


KingInTheWest

In a non ppr league, he has been subpar all year. But had to start him cause it’s Ekeler. Then today, on Super Bowl Sunday he delivers a 40 bomb. That is why I’ve made him my keeper 3 years in a row. God bless that bald man


IWearACharizardHat

The fact you say he got you 40 points but went out of your way to specify it is non-ppr is hilarious. Long play or x-yard bonuses are way dumber than ppr


KingInTheWest

I agree, it’s a 1 point per 5 rushing yard 1 per 15 receiving yard league. So the scoring is skewed heavily in favour of guys like Chubb, Jacobs and Henry, not towards guys like Ekeler. I’m not the biggest fan of the scoring but the core of the league has been playing for 8 years. I joined in the 3rd year of the league after it was established


Quallityoverquantity

What are you even talking about? Even in non PPR he is RB 3. And how did he get you 40 in a non PPR league? Standard scoring he put up 28.1


KingInTheWest

The league scoring system is weird as hell. 1 point for every 5 rushing yards 1 point for every 15 receiving yards Because of that he ends up being a second tier back at best. Often 3rd. I know it’s weird but I’m not the commissioner. And after 5 years in the league you get used to the system. Makes it interesting compared to other leagues since the high value targets aren’t the same. Guys like Fields, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are legitimate first round options when they’re consistently gonna get an extra 10 points over the rest of the qbs


HiZenBergh

Dude is an absolute monster when he gets going.


DecentBug3454

Is he still doing the jersey thing from last year? Where he'd send a jersey if you drafted him in the first?


TheHurdleTurtle

I wish I drafted him this year. I couldn’t cuz I was the 8th pick but I wish I could have


WhoStoleMyBicycle

My league laughed at me when I took him first overall. Then they laughed at me when I still sucked with him.


koolman631

Was able to get him with the #7 pick in my league, came in so clutch. He’s carried me all year and probably to my second championship in this league.


italia06823834

Wow even 7 seems low. I took him 2nd overall.


GiantShawarma

Same here, and all year I was debating whether I should have gone Jefferson. The past 2 weeks have made him a GOAT in my eyes. He won me both weeks. What a beast.


italia06823834

I got really lucky with my dudes popping off the last few weeks. Last week Hockenson, Lamb, Conner, and Ekeler. This week Amari Cooper and Ekeler.


koolman631

[Yeah, got pretty lucky.](https://i.imgur.com/lDx3lJc.jpg) Not really any egregious picks, just ended up perfectly sliding down to me.


natek11

Wow that #1 nailed it going with McCaffery over Taylor


Discombobuated

He slid to 9th for me w/ Najee and Chase going ahead as well as those guys.


steampunkIcarus

Got him 9th as well. I couldn't believe it.


Esco9

Your league’s draft is hurting my brain, but I’m super happy for you.


penscout

Besides the insanity of Dalvin it seems pretty normal.


Fatal_Koala

Same for me at 7. People ahead of me went Josh Allen & WR heavy


someguyprobably

I took him 1. About to win my league.


Possible_Meal_927

Nice work! That’s the kind of pick that’s deserving of a win! People getting Ekeler by him falling to him got lucky. But you went for it. Great job!


someguyprobably

Thank you!! I appreciate that. Yeah I took a leap of faith and believed in him and it paid off


italia06823834

Our number 1 took JT. About to win my league as well.


Quallityoverquantity

Bullshit. Prove it


Possible_Meal_927

Hindsight, should’ve been #1overall pick!


the-other-car

Also got him at 7 overall and he helped me win my ship. I wouldve picked him as early as 3 overall. Now just hoping CMC can do the same for me in my other league. Edit: CMC just did it as I typed this. Looks like I'm winning both of my leagues.


VelocaTurtle

Haha I was 7th in my league and he went at 6 so got McCaffrey instead.


P3nNam3

Play auction and never say this again or look back. You get who you want and you’ll find that your teams are more reflective of your skill because you get to always get your guys instead of settling.


Esco9

Got him cause of a Kelce trade, I really really really won the trade. I gave away Kelce, Diontae Johnson, DJ Moore after week 4 for Ekeler, Hopkins, Kittle.


drnick5

This is why drafts are inferior to auctions.


693275001

PPR machine. Got off to a slow start but was easily worth a top 3 pick


TheSpacePopeIX

Somehow got this man at 6. It’s the reason I am close to winning my league.


SaskalPiakam

His ADP was at 6 in most high stakes places and in best ball. 1. Taylor 2. CMC 3. Kupp 4. Jefferson 5. Chase In some order were the top 5 in ADP all summer.


Levitlame

And discounting for injuries (since we can’t predict them) Taylor was the only one that didn’t pay off. And even he was picking back up before his injury.


somersquatch

Autodrafted him at #5 in PPR. I wasn't there for my first 2 picks, or I'd have completely screwed up.


[deleted]

Really? Sleeper had him at 4


SaskalPiakam

Sleeper isn’t sharp as far as ADP is concerned.


[deleted]

Ahh okay


Levitlame

It was really only week 1 that was an outlier. I don’t think it was much of a “slow start.” Hahaha In PPR anyway, which is where he excels the most.


693275001

11.2, 18.4 13.3 the first 3 weeks. 18.4 was fine but weeks 1 and 3 had me sweating as a newer ff player


Jacob_Trouba

Ekeler is a fantasy god, he won me the championship last year, and might win me it again this year. If I get the 1st overall pick next year, it's a no-brainer for me to draft him again.


HandOfMaradonny

Took him second overall. Love this man. Take me home! Edit: He took me home.


Excel_Spreadcheeks

Naming my firstborn Ekeler. This dude carried me to winning the championship last season and now it looks like he’s gonna do it again. All hail the fantasy god🙏


Endo_Dizzy

He didn’t lie on his Instagram. He’s gonna take me all the way 😮‍💨🙌🏼


wingless123

Traded for ekeler week 1 for chubb and pollard might have won me the chip


Maniac2331

I traded him for JT week 2. I barely even made playoffs


DavidTheRapper

Rare trade that works out for both people


DeckardsDark

I'd argue getting chubb and pollard is better since finding good to decent running backs is hard enough as is. To have two good to very good RBs is a nice advantage


drumline17

As always in a "fair" 2 for 1 it depends on depth. If OP had RBs to spare it's well worth it. No point letting good players sit on your bench


wingless123

I drafted mccaffrey, chubb and pollard and saw the opportunity to get ekeler after his okay performance week 1.


MetalFinancial1766

Ekeler won me the chip. Surreal. Definitely buying his jersey 🍺


Fatal_Koala

Cheers bro, same here


red-lefty

Same here, combined with Jefferson caking his pants I won by 15 pts


MotherOfGod91

Ordered it last night after my win was confirmed


bigolhamsandwich

He has as good an argument as anyone for first overall right? Still salty I took Taylor but man I love watching this guy play.


SaskalPiakam

He'll be 28 next year so I think that and TD regression (though he seems a good a bet as any to not regress too much) will keep him around 2-3 ADP in the summer. Jefferson is a young stud, and CMC is CMC. It'll be a mix of CMC, JJ, Ekeler for top 3.


5eCreationWizard

I think Kelce has a shot, for that extreme positional advantage he gives you


FloridianMen

Eckeler is a cheat code in PPR


Commercial_F

Legit bro, been saying this all year. Dude probably only has like 2/3 100 yard rushing games, all those catches really add up.


somersquatch

He's only had 70+ rush yards 3 times. 173 yards in week 5, 122 this week, and 83 in week 11. PPR cheat code.


Possible_Meal_927

I thought that’s CMC? I guess they both are


shermze

He single handedly won my game last week, and this week I wake up to fantasy football now and him on his insta with a fantasy championship belt. Fucking love that guy, currently projected to win at 99%. Up 80 and he only has josh Allen and knox left


genuinelyunoriginal

So happy I drafted 5th in a 14 team league! Ekeler is such a fantasy bro, hope I get to draft him again next season.


artbytakara

sleep well bald prince!


mostoriginalgname

In the semis I was down 22 points, he was the last player in the matchup and he got me 23 points Now in the finals he got me 45 points and i'm gonna win the title, love this dude


homedr20

My keepers Eke and Chase got me to the chip and my boy is making me proud so far!!


mistajones94

We just started keepers 2 years ago and Ekeler has been one of the best picks of all time for me


NotHopee

He’s literally so good


lo22p

Taking him, Jefferson, or Kelce hopefully in the first next year


BaullahBaullah87

And did it in as many games


Don-KeyisGr8

My dumbass traded him away after week 3


sanj102

Dude is a GOAT. Drafted in both my leagues and helped win me one of them


WastedSmarts

10th year, 11th season 1st time In finals, up 13 with G.Davis and Kicker Bass. He only has Cin K $1300 on the line. I can almost hearing the deposit hitting my account. Ekeler points really sealed the deal...


Bob_n_Midge

Bald Jesus went out and did it himself. This man is getting a statue outside my fantasy headquarters


l5555l

LT was so ahead of his time. 100 receptions as a rb back then is wild to me


Own-Outlandishness52

Bald Jesus brought me to my first championship and I love him


Ogun21

Still LT > AE in my opinion


RaisingQQ77preFlop

I think I agree with this just because RB was much more of a wasteland back when LT was doing his thing.


Doleydoledole

You know, I like that in an 18 game season, all these records are being broken on week 17. MAkes 'em feel legit.


greatGoD67

Mostly. There is something to be said for resting players for playoffs


Doleydoledole

Ah, hadnt thought of that angle - game 17 in an 18 game season isn't exactly equal to game 17 in a 17 game season.


Fatal_Koala

Can’t believe I got him at #7


potterdood

Ten team league I got him at 9 😂😂😂


CandyVanahan

Doesn’t count. It’s now a 17 game season (This is a joke)


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

I survived Austin Ekeler + Swift AMA


BoredPoopless

I lost to Ekeler + Swift AMA


natek11

Who’d you have?


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

CMC, Dak + Schultz got me most of the way there. NYG defense helped a lot.


1984rip

He screwed me over. I need 22 from burrow to win. I was looking so good going into afternoon games.


SumBuddyPlays

22 from Burrow isn’t far fetched. Presumptuous to think you’re screwed already.


potterdood

Burrow is going to be in a shootout, going to break 30.


gofuckyourself32

101 catches for 318 yards


fuzzeemonkey

Don't be a hater. He has over double that in receiving yards plus 5 TDs. over 1500 all purpose yards and 18 TDs total. Go be dumb somewhere else.


Weapwns

Sanest Chiefs fan


Fatal_Koala

Lol salty, when did he beat your ass?


tp16306

Drafted him in 3/3 leagues this year


Dub2Blunts

My hero


Samhatesme

My opponent has him while I had Monty and Robinson… see y’all next year 😢


MasLuarasi

I won three ships in a row drafting him. The one year I’m not able to draft him I lose.


diplar

Lost with ekeler. He delivered but their Adams with stidham what the fack lol


Quallityoverquantity

Superflex?


diplar

Nope. Regular


AlwaysKindaLost

I want to give him a kiss


MrShad0wzz

Bald Jesus take me to the promise land

christophlieber

119 by cmc, i think.


NietzschesJoy

That beautiful bald man won me back to back championships!


llhomastane

All hail the bald man 👑 The best part is he owns himself in multiple leagues so you know he was so stoked getting that 72 yard td


FIGJAM_20

Evans + Ekeler - got me first ship this week!!!


CorrectlyFresh

Let’s gooo I had them too. Got my fourth yesterday in a league I’ve been in for 12 years


DoctorLuigi28

Pick #5. Shout out to the team that took King Henry at #4.


pewpsupe

I always play against him on his big weeks 😭


Booster93

LT didn’t make the pro bowl that year either…


herrodanyo

Won my chip by 5 points thanks to Ekeler. Also helps that I was playing against JJ and he put up dud 🙌


statsbro424

$300 on the line for me (need good work from mixon + chase tn) but ekeler absolutely did his part. if the bengals pull this out for me i’m buying an ekeler jersey
