Cam Akers Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers faces a Seattle Seahawks team that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs in Week 13. Seattle is allowing the fourth-most rushing yards per game and the sixth-most yards per attempt. They are also allowing the second-most receiving yards to running backs, although that doesn't really help Akers, since he is not a receiving back. The 23-year-old only has two receptions this season. He has been more productive on the ground. In his past two games, Akers is averaging 4.45 yards per carry, which is higher than his season average and career average. Akers is a low-end flex play in extremely deep leagues.

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (illness) did not practice Thursday. He has been out sick and has yet to practice this week. The 23-year-old is trending in the wrong direction toward suiting up for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Akers has rushed for 274 yards on 84 attempts and a touchdown over nine games in 2022. The former second-round pick would serve as Ram's backup RB behind Kyren Williams if active for Week 13. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but Akers is mainly a flex play at best in deep-league formats if he does play on Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (illness) missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness. Akers has two more chances to get back on the practice field this week ahead of a Week 13 date versus the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams cut Darrell Henderson Jr. last week and gave the majority of the backfield work to rookie Kyren Williams in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Akers ended up played 30 percent of the offensive snaps and saw eight carries for 37 yards while not being targeted in the passing attack. Even if he plays this Sunday, it's likely the out-of-contention Rams will continue to lean more on Williams as they finish a lost season. Akers will be best left on fantasy benches, and it'll be really hard to trust any Rams offensive skill player against Seattle with either quarterback John Wolford or Bryce Perkins making the start with Matthew Stafford (concussion, neck) unlikely to play.
