Cam Akers Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers should see plenty of work on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers, making him a strong DFS option. With quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) banged up, expect to see a heavy dose of the run game. Akers had 30 total touches last week, piling up 176 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see upwards of 20 touches again in the Divisional Round. The Packers are a bottom-half run defense in the NFL, so Akers will have plenty of chances to turn his opportunities into fantasy points.

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers saw 21 carries in Week 17 with the Rams starting John Wolford at quarterback. And while Akers didn't get much accomplished with those carries, turning them into just 34 yards, he did add four receptions for 52 yards. Akers has become the clear No. 1 running back on this Rams team, though it's worth noting he was relatively ineffective with his 10 carries the first time these teams met. But if you're looking for volume on Saturday's slate, Akers should get it, even if Jared Goff (thumb) is back. Production might be a different story for Akers, as Seattle has shown improvement against the run as the season has progressed.

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ankle) is reportedly active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The Rams need to win this game and won't have quarterback Jared Goff, so expect heavy doses of Akers against a struggling Arizona run defense. Akers is a solid RB2 option for anyone who is still playing season-long fantasy.
