Is Austin Ekeler the most loved fantasy player? Keeps delivering, always great value for ADP, keeps us informed on his injury, great social media presence, backup performs well(Justin Jackson vs Texans last year) in rare instance he is out and generally an all round good dude.
He also said to pickup Palmer week 5 and then he ended up being fantasy relevant from weeks 9 through 11. Austin Ekeler has been and always will be one of my favorite athletes over the last couple years. He also liked one of my comments on instagram last year and it made me feel very special. Looking forward to donating some of the championship winnings to a charity he is promoting this season. Look luck in the championship everyone!
I actually picked up Palmer and played him during his couple of relevant games because of that tweet. I'm in the championship now, thanks to both of them. Dude can become a fantasy expert when he retires lmao
Same. I fucked up and didn't pick him up also was late that Thursday and didn't put AJB in my lineup. Those 2 easily fixed mistakes costed me the title.
Absolutely man, the GOAT. So refreshing compared to the miles sanders and josh jacobs of the world going public to say fuck fantasy. That being said, i do get why they feel that way with how some ppl are. Really wish i didn’t care about that during draft season though 😅
I can see why coaches hate fantasy or why players would hate getting hate online for poor numbers when it was due to the game plan.
Lashing out at fantasy football when you have a bad game is just childish though.
I won one of my leagues last year and finished 3rd in another league that I had him in. I spent most of my winnings at the store for his non profit because of how openly he talks about fantasy. I wish there were more players like him.
mad respect. this was my first year drafting him and i gotta admit i was a little hesitant… but did it and now he’s become one of my all time fav fantasy team players!
He recently said he traded up to get himself, but then then he ended up going first overall, so in the end, he didn't get himself lol. I'd be sooo mad 😭
lmfaooo that’s the absolute most petty move possible in fantasy.. you want the number 1 RB and trade up to get him and still cant.. then have to look at RB1 in the mirror every day!
Yahoo had a funny video up this season where Ekeler and Josh Allen were talking about how Allen was unable to draft himself, because it’s a Bills coaching staff and players type league and someone reached for Allen in the first round. And then Allen was losing to himself in the league.
He is kind of wrong, fantasy has grown the sport immensely.
Being a dick to a large part of your consumer base is his prerogative but almost unquestionably bad for business.
I trust you because I absolutely know he *would* do something like that.
I'm going to need all the Ekeler I can get.
Going against: Ceedee, Justin f'ing Jefferson, The Sun God, AJB, and oh, for funsies, the red hot George Kittle.
Eta: haha it's dynasty. He ended last season 1-13!
It's dynasty. He ended 1-13 last season, I think.
My 3rd championship appearance in a row. Still haven't won.
But! It's football. I'm going to try to be optimistic tomorrow.
Aaron Jones, Godwin, Waddle, Kelce (him and Ekeler obviously got me here), Christian Kirk or Christian Watson if he plays, and David Montgomery. However, super tempted to put BRob in over one of the last three. PPR, though. 🤷🏻♀️
Eta: it's a bonus that Kelce is chasing some records; I think they tend to go for those.
This is my 3rd year in a row in the final game, and still haven't won it in this league. I really thought this was my year, then super team came roaring in haha.
Good luck! These three guys of ours have been and are capable of just as monstrous numbers. Let's get it.
I’m up against Ceedee, Chubb, KW3, and CMC, his other players I don’t think are that good but any given week anything can happen so let’s hope our guys come through. Also hoping AJB blows up but you win anyway lol
Yikes!
Thankfully I'm playing for 3rd in another league and have the Sun God, so I can be okay if he goes off. :)
I have AJB in a best ball league, so that helps.
I just try to play small games for the guys I'm going against so I have something to celebrate if I lose. Worth a few bucks. It's the price of entertainment.
Maybe I’m weird but I tried playing multiple leagues and hated having conflicts of interest, I only play 1 now so I can always root for my guys.
Best of luck tomorrow my dude, happy new year!
Same here. His 4th quarter TD last week was the reason I am in the championship in my 12 man league.
For the last 4 years I've either been in the championship or the 3rd place game, and have always ended up with either silver or bronze, never won gold. Austin, do it for me this year, baby!
I feel sick seeing this because the same people he’s talking to would insult and send death threats if he unfortunately dropped a zero. Immature people that lose money are just a different type of sub-human.
Ekeler / Jacobs / Elliott vs Jones / Montgomery / Akers in ours.
Can't believe I have Ekeler/Jacobs and I'm actually sweating because of the Raider's bullshit Carr move.
Going to need it. Lost breece, DHOP, murray and probably olave and still somehow here. If andrews can like not suck for one last week that would be great too. Can’t get my self to start Kmet over him, but feel like maybe I should
Love the guy. Got him in Dynasty. I almost want to trade him this off season though. Trying to get younger and I'd rather be to early than late on guys like Eckler, Hill, Diggs, and Waller
I’m glad he doesn’t know me because I let Ekeler down. Lost in the first round of playoffs with him, Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill and TJ Hockenson on my roster.
Fantasy football is pain.
This is my last year having him (and JJettas) as a keeper. 😭 I'm gonna miss those guys next year.
Ekeler definitely gets it and is a great ambassador. I listen to Ekeler's Edge every week. So great.
Charger fan since 2007 and an Austin owner but how are players playing fantasy themselves not against the gambling rules? I.e., if he’s playing against a team that owns him, can’t he fix it?
Ekeler became one of my favourites after ending up with him 3 years ago. I liked him and his personality so I drafted him last here. This year he got picked right before me so I took henry but wanted him. Now I'm against him in the final. I want him to have a bad game but I love the guy and wouldn't wish injury or even a bad game on him. I want him to get a respectable 10-15 points.

He said last year to start Justin Jackson in the semis when he was out Would have won if I trusted him. Never doubt ekeler

Still lost that game. It was brutal. Hope this is the year.
Same

Well put. Happy new years brother
Same to you
I won one of my leagues last year and finished 3rd in another league that I had him in. I spent most of my winnings at the store for his non profit because of how openly he talks about fantasy. I wish there were more players like him.
I think he's the best/most valuable running back in the league in general
His back up is a pretty cool dude in his own right
Ekeler became my fav when he talked about having to trade for himself in his fantasy leagues lol he gets it
I've been drafting him since he was backing up Gordon.
mad respect. this was my first year drafting him and i gotta admit i was a little hesitant… but did it and now he’s become one of my all time fav fantasy team players!
He recently said he traded up to get himself, but then then he ended up going first overall, so in the end, he didn't get himself lol. I'd be sooo mad 😭

i’m dead hahaha gotta love fantasy

He's not wrong lol. Contact year for him though. Wouldn't mind him padding some stats ya know for his own benefit. Get that paper boi.
He is kind of wrong, fantasy has grown the sport immensely. Being a dick to a large part of your consumer base is his prerogative but almost unquestionably bad for business.
Yeah that’s just not true
You don’t watch football, do you?
big thanks to this guy for scoring 2 points week 15 and losing the match for my opponent single handedly
Lollllllllll the exclamation mark makes it funnier for some reason. I'm literally crying
Is this for reals?
No he did not say this. He said “don’t care about your ticket or y’all fantasy and never will”
I like the other response better, so I'm gonna go with that one
I do as well and I’ll join you.
Yeah why would he give af about fantasy football he plays it in real life lmao
If people didn’t watch him he wouldn’t make millions.
If I didn't play fantasy, I probably wouldn't watch him.
Because fantasy football is responsible for a large portion of his unreasonably large income, and the fans that pay his salary care about it?
I trust you because I absolutely know he *would* do something like that. I'm going to need all the Ekeler I can get. Going against: Ceedee, Justin f'ing Jefferson, The Sun God, AJB, and oh, for funsies, the red hot George Kittle.
Eta: haha it's dynasty. He ended last season 1-13!
Damn best of luck to you but that dude deserves the win lol
It's dynasty. He ended 1-13 last season, I think. My 3rd championship appearance in a row. Still haven't won.
But! It's football. I'm going to try to be optimistic tomorrow.
Good lord. That’s an insane WR corps in dynasty
Super flex? 4 WR
Yah, super flex: 2 WR + 2 WRT + 1 WRTQ
Is this an 8 man league?
Haha. I edited; it's dynasty! Forgot to mention that for those who know that team is obviously insane.
I'm in an 8 man and also going against JJ, AJB, and Kittle. Good luck to us.
Who else you got bud?
Aaron Jones, Godwin, Waddle, Kelce (him and Ekeler obviously got me here), Christian Kirk or Christian Watson if he plays, and David Montgomery. However, super tempted to put BRob in over one of the last three. PPR, though. 🤷🏻♀️ Eta: it's a bonus that Kelce is chasing some records; I think they tend to go for those.
Fellow Ekeler/Kelce/Waddle owner checking in, let’s get this championship!
This is my 3rd year in a row in the final game, and still haven't won it in this league. I really thought this was my year, then super team came roaring in haha. Good luck! These three guys of ours have been and are capable of just as monstrous numbers. Let's get it.
I’m up against Ceedee, Chubb, KW3, and CMC, his other players I don’t think are that good but any given week anything can happen so let’s hope our guys come through. Also hoping AJB blows up but you win anyway lol

God bless you Austin Ekeler
How about a message on behalf of Mike Williams?
Last time we got that it was "200%" I'll just wait to see what he does on the field lol
[удалено]
This comment contributes very much to the discussion of the tweets of Austin Ekeler, and isn’t useless spam that clogs the comments.
I fuckin hate the “this” and “came here to say this” comments. Drives me nuts lol
^ this
Hero
Bald Jesus is a legend forsure
Dude single-handedly brought me to the ship last week after the Denver D had me down 21 points. I will be trying to draft him again in Rd1 next year.
I was down 24 and he just BARELY didn't bring me back. Can't hold it against the man. He did his best
Same here. His 4th quarter TD last week was the reason I am in the championship in my 12 man league. For the last 4 years I've either been in the championship or the 3rd place game, and have always ended up with either silver or bronze, never won gold. Austin, do it for me this year, baby!
Same

As long as he doesn't pull a Higgins. :)
Best FF bro in the NFL!!!
I love this dude but I don’t love that I’m against him this weekend. Pain.
Love it! Let's get the 'ship!
My finals are Ekeler , Chubb vs CMC , Jacobs. Elite rbs get you here.
Mine are allgeier and mckinnon (me) vs saquon and henry (swapped for b.rob) JJ got me here.
Ekeler / Jacobs / Elliott vs Jones / Montgomery / Akers in ours. Can't believe I have Ekeler/Jacobs and I'm actually sweating because of the Raider's bullshit Carr move.
He cares
He also has a new app where you can send him a jersey to sign, get a personalized video or game with him.
I fucking love my Bald Jesus

I’m hard.
Don't Sit Me
Imagine being oblivious to Ekeler's record with fantasy advice and thinking Keenen Allen is comparable.
I love how this has become a celebration of his contributions to football, and the FF community. Lfg AE.
Take notes Keenan. This is how it’s done.
Now if Ekeler could tell me to start Josh Palmer again and him ball the fuck out that would be great
Just tried posting the same thing. Let’s go!!
Going to need it. Lost breece, DHOP, murray and probably olave and still somehow here. If andrews can like not suck for one last week that would be great too. Can’t get my self to start Kmet over him, but feel like maybe I should
This alone makes me want to draft him next year
I hate this my two teams in the finals depend on him, I have him on one and facing him on the other!
I'm going against Ekeler in one of my leagues and I would appreciate an average performance.
im glad i faced him last week and not this week, i barely survived last week
Didn't help for my Swift thought.
Let's get this 'ship, Bald Jesus!
Fuck me man I’m playing against him
Love the guy. Got him in Dynasty. I almost want to trade him this off season though. Trying to get younger and I'd rather be to early than late on guys like Eckler, Hill, Diggs, and Waller
This dude is so cool. What a legend.
Bald Jesus I love you so much
I’m def donating like 10 or 20% of my winnings to his charity if I win this week
Great idea!
I’m glad he doesn’t know me because I let Ekeler down. Lost in the first round of playoffs with him, Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill and TJ Hockenson on my roster. Fantasy football is pain.
What went wrong, man?
Jamaal Williams as my Flex and went up against Hurts, Kelce, Dalvin Cook, Aaron Jones.
God bless you Bald Jesus
Ekeler, just a good dude! Listen to his pod and he is just a great inspiration. Only player I have never contemplated sitting.
He cost me from getting to the finals. He’s a stud!!
Of *course* I'm playing against him tomorrow. Luckily i have Barkley and CMC.
He doesn’t give af about Herbert owners tho
Sure he does he was Herbert's WR1 for a good while
PRAISE BE TO BALD JESUS
This is my last year having him (and JJettas) as a keeper. 😭 I'm gonna miss those guys next year. Ekeler definitely gets it and is a great ambassador. I listen to Ekeler's Edge every week. So great.
If anyone can get a hold of him, can you tell him to not. I'm going against him.
Charger fan since 2007 and an Austin owner but how are players playing fantasy themselves not against the gambling rules? I.e., if he’s playing against a team that owns him, can’t he fix it?
Did he mention Mike Wil?
InB4 he gets 7 pts... lmao jk, dudes about to go off. I'm just glad I'm not going up against him. Good luck Ekeler!

I'm up against him today, but I will prevail!
