Cam Akers Should Be Left On Benches Against Cardinals
2 years agoLos Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers returned to action last week against Tampa Bay and took five carries for three yards on a 19% snap share. The 23-year-old running back came back to the team after a three-week absence to be quite ineffective on the ground. Although he makes for an intriguing bench stash, he should not be in lineups this week. Darrell Henderson Jr. saw the majority of the backfield work last week, Malcolm Brown out-snapped and out-gained Akers, and rookie Kyren Williams (ankle) could return this week. No Rams running back is a comfortable start in Week 10, given the unsettled nature of the backfield.
