With the Los Angeles Chargers having already been eliminated from playoff contention, running back Austin Ekeler should see his typical amount of playing time this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ekeler has been limited by injuries this season, so the money he can earn through incentives isn't as lucrative as it could have been if he remained healthy and appeared in more games.
However, he can still earn some bonuses if he hits certain benchmarks in scrimmage yards and touchdowns:
Ekeler also could have earned $150,000 for a Pro Bowl berth, but he was not named to the NFC's roster for the 2024 event.
The 28-year-old has rushed for 617 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games this season, in addition to catching 398 yards and one score.
Ekeler needs 110 yards from scrimmage to secure a $100,000 bonus for 1,125 scrimmage yards, but all of the other incentives for yardage and touchdowns likely aren't attainable this weekend, even with the Chiefs projected to sit many of their starters ahead of the playoffs.
