Fantasy Football: 3 Reasons to Be Hesitant About Drafting Austin Ekeler
Austin Ekeler is a favorite amongst the fantasy football community because of his continued advocacy for it, but is he really worth a top-five pick?
Isaiah Spiller Status

Spiller finished the 2022-23 season with just 41 yards on 18 carries and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards.
What it means:
Spiller appeared in just six games during his rookie season, as he was the odd-man out in the Chargers' backfield. The rookie running back was unable to carve himself a consistent role on offense and was repeatedly a healthy scratch. With Sony Michel now gone, Spiller will look to live up to his status as a fourth-round pick and will compete with Joshua Kelley for a more prominent role next season.

Spiller is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
What it means:
With Spiller the odd man out Sunday, Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree are in line to handle Chargers' backfield duties in Week 17.

Spiller was active for Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Raiders, but did not record a snap.
What it means:
Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley wound up as the only two running backs to take a snap in Sunday's loss. At this point, it's obvious the rookie's role has completely evaporated with the return of Kelley, and that's unlikely to change with the Chargers still in playoff contention.

Spiller carried the ball two times for three yards while catching his only target for two yards Sunday in the 25-24 win against the Cardinals.
What it means:
Spiller saw his usage drop down compared to the past three weeks, as he was outplayed by Joshua Kelley who made his return to action after missing four games with a sprained MCL. Kelley seemed to reestablish himself as the primary backup behind Austin Ekeler, playing 14 snaps compared to just eight snaps from the rookie running back. Even with a favorable matchup against the Raiders next week, Spiller doesn't have much fantasy value save for the deepest of leagues.

Spiller tallied four carries for 11 yards and also caught both of his targets for an additional 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
What it means:
Sunday marked the biggest disparity in the platoon backup RB position as Spiller out-snapped Sony Michel 16 to five, easily outgaining the veteran for the third straight game. The rookie hasn't done a whole lot with the extra opportunities, but it's likely he'll still be a factor when Joshua Kelley (knee) eventually returns off injured reserve.

Spiller carried the ball four times for three yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers.
What it means:
Spiller once again out-snapped veteran Sony Michel, but neither back was able to do much in their limited opportunities. Nominal No. 2 back, Joshua Kelley (knee), is expected to return in the coming weeks, which could relegate Spiller further down the depth chart. The rookie has a combined 12 carries for 27 yards over the last three weeks in Kelley's absence.
