Fantasy Impact:
Akers rotated between Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson, as the running backs continue to work in a committee. He was getting first team reps after opening up training camp with the second unit. "The Rams’ running backs continue to work in committee, though it’s notable that Akers at least has the appearance of taking more snaps, added Rodrigue. "The staff feels a little urgency in onboarding Akers quickly, because they believe he will factor into their plans this season. But, readers, proceed with caution — working him in a ton now only indicates that they’re bringing him up to speed and getting him the reps he needs after a very truncated offseason. It does not necessarily indicate how touches will be dispersed during the season." The 21-year-old logged 231 carries for 1,144 yards and 14 touchdowns in his junior year at Florida State. Akers is a target in dynasty leagues and is currently 28th among all running backs in the latest re-draft expert consensus rankings.
