From the episode

The commander signed Austin Eckler... I wouldn't expect big things from Eckler fantasy wise, but it could be a sad foreshadowing for one of the other commanders running backs.

Mentioned at 58:56 – 60:11

STACKED’s take

NeutralDepth Chart

Signed by Commanders; unlikely to provide fantasy value.

The Commanders signed Austin Ekeler, though the source does not expect significant fantasy production, noting it may be a negative sign for other Commanders running backs.
