Really? I think Ekeler, at least while Gordon is down. He should get more touches and has that ability to find space. He won't be an rb1, but I think he's safer than Edwards

Edwards is chewing up chunks of yards and handling 20 carries with relative ease. Ekeler is a spark plug who needs a Gordon type to wear down defenses.

The end #'s look the same but Edwards is featured, that's not Ekeler's game.

If both were getting 20 carries up the middle and nothing else, Edwards.

We are talking PPR though where Ekeler can easily hit 5 Rec for 50 yards on top of rushing (where he is not that bad) and a TD to top Edwards 100 yard outings.

Edward does one thing well and if this is standard, I'd side with him

You must be playing in standard scoring leagues. Ekeler is is immediately in RB1 conversation if Gordon doesn't play based of his receptions alone. He doesn't need 20 carries to be worth twice as much as Edwards. I have no interest in 100 rushing yards if all I end up with is 10 points.

Ekeler because of scoring system.
