Cam Akers Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers is likely looking to have a conversation with his head coach after the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. After Week 5, Sean McVay had stated that he had plans to get Akers more involved in the offense, but he finished the loss with just one snap and zero touches on the night. This offensive backfield has a lot of talent, but Akers is clearly still just a backup as things stand right now. Until the Rams show that they are more committed to getting their rookie back involved, he'll be hard to trust in standard-sized leagues.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers is expected to see an increase in his workload in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he's still not going to be much more than a shaky RB3/flex in standard-sized leagues. In Week 5, he saw less than 20 percent of the snaps, and the team is still giving touches to teammates Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown. Akers is the type of player that you should be looking for later in the year, and he also has yet to see any work in the receiving game in his rookie season. Against a Niners team that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the position so far in 2020, Akers won't have much upside this Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ribs) is back in Week 5, as the Rams face the Washington Football Team. There's a lot of pieces in this backfield and Akers will need to earn snaps over Darrell Henderson Jr. and Malcolm Brown, so Akers isn't a great fantasy option in his return and rates as a deep league flex option for now. He still has the best long term upside in this backfield, though.
