Austin Ekeler: A Touchdown Scoring Machine for High-Scoring Games

As we kick off the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl">NFL</a> season, a particular game on the horizon is catching our eye. Everyone&#8217;s talking about a high-scoring affair between the Miami Dolphins and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/article/afc-west-win-totals-chargers-could-compete-for-the-division">Los Angeles Chargers</a>. One player is poised to be at the center of the action: <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/article/the-los-angeles-chargers-and-austin-ekeler">Austin Ekeler.</a>

Now, some might be hesitant about the odds placed on him. He&#8217;s sitting at a -155 price. But before you write him off, consider this: when Ekeler returned to the team last year, he showcased the dynamism of the Chargers&#8217; offense. His chances of scoring are considerably high with an open playbook that promises multiple red zone opportunities.
What&#8217;s incredibly enticing about Ekeler is his versatility. He&#8217;s not just a traditional running back who punches in touchdowns from the one-yard line – although he&#8217;s proven he can do that, too. Ekeler has become a favorite target for dump-off passes. These short, often overlooked plays have led to numerous touchdowns for him in the past. Picture this: The Chargers are on the eight-yard line. Instead of a traditional run or a long pass, a quick dump-off to Ekeler could easily result in six points. This dual-threat capability makes him such a valuable asset in the red zone.
Playing on turf in what&#8217;s expected to be a high-scoring game only amplifies Ekeler&#8217;s potential. This week, we&#8217;re confident in taking that -155 bet. The odds suggest multiple ways for Ekeler to score touchdowns, and all indicators point to him finding the end zone in Week 1.
