Ekeler's name still carries weight from his receiving-back heyday in Washington, but he's coming back from a torn Achilles that ended his 2025 season in Week 2, and the third-down role he used to own now belongs to Rachaad White. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt leading the team in rushing and a rookie also in the room, Ekeler's actual 2026 role is genuinely unclear.
Strengths: Veteran pass-catching instincts and locker-room experience from past productive seasons as a receiving back.
Weaknesses: Still working back from a torn Achilles and now buried behind Rachaad White and Jacory Croskey-Merritt on the depth chart.
