Rams coach Sean McVay says Cam Akers (ribs) "isn’t coming along as quickly as he anticipated." (Lindsey Thiry on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Akers suffered a rib injury in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Eagles that always sounded a little worse than the team was letting on. It's beginning to look as if Akers will miss the team's Week 3 tilt with the Buffalo Bills, which would vault Darrell Henderson into high-end FLEX territory. Malcolm Brown would be a FLEX option as well, but Henderson is the preferred option as he's suddenly the healthiest option in this backfield.
