Austin Ekeler’s best decision last Sunday might have come off the field. The Los Angeles Chargers running back is an avid fan of fantasy football and plugged himself into one of his lineups. Ekeler had 123 yards from scrimmage in the Chargers’ 30-13 rout of the Chicago Bears.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall runs the ball against New York Giants inside linebacker Bobby Okereke during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in East Rutherford, N.J.
“He’s a special back,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said. “He’s kind of a deceptive runner. He’s just so massive, it doesn’t look like he’s moving fast and you feel like you’re tracking properly and then all of a sudden you say, ‘Oh crap, where’d he go?”The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Hall has 443 yards rushing and two touchdowns in seven games, and 19 catches for 189 yards and a score coming out of the backfield.
“There’s something about him when he’s in the lineup that just changes the energy of the offense,” Ulbrich said. “I feel like they move more efficiently, they’re more physical, they finish better, and obviously he’s an important part of their offense, period.Jets linebacker Quincy Williams might find himself having to take down the elusive running back — and echoed Ulbrich’s value to Herbert in the Chargers’ offense.
