Ekeler told people not to draft him; limited workload expected.

Ekeler told people this offseason not to draft him in fantasy football, stating 'I'm not really trying to play this year.' Despite being in excellent physical condition (posting intense workout content), his reduced motivation and workload expectations suggest limited fantasy value; speaker estimates he may struggle to play 35 snaps of NFL football and would likely need a couple weeks to get up to speed.
