Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Cam Akers
Cam Akers (LAR): 45% rostered
- Next opponents: LV, @GB, DEN
- True value: $13
- Desperate need: $22
- Budget-minded: $7
Analysis: Just when we thought we had a bead on this struggling Rams offense, Sean McVay spun around again and put Akers in the driver’s seat at the RB position over Kyren Williams. Akers was not very efficient with his 17 carries, only piling up 60 yards on the day. The good news was that Akers found the end zone twice against the Seahawks to give him fantasy relevance for the first time since Week 14 of 2020. This is a lost season for the Rams, so players like Akers who figure to be out of town next season are likely to see a lot of work.
