BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues
ANALYSIS:
It has been an erratic and disappointing year for Akers, which makes it understandable if you have ambivalence surrounding the idea of adding him. His season has been forged by a combination of frequent inefficiency and a puzzling absence.
However, there is a rationale for securing Akers if you are confronted by a roster dilemma entering your Week 14 matchup. He has now accumulated at least 14 carries during two of his last three matchups, while also rushing for 60+ yards during each of those contests.
That includes the season-high 17 rushing attempts that he was entrusted with during the Rams’ Week 13 matchup with NFC West rival Seattle. Akers also generated multiple touchdowns for the first time this season during the contest.
Akers appears to have surpassed Kyren Williams in Sean McVay’s distribution of touches, as Williams was limited to just three attempts and nine rushing yards in Week 13. He was also limited to one target and failed to collect a reception.
The current deficiencies within the Rams’ offense remain concerning, but Akers' recent surge in usage and output has elevated him among this week’s roster options.
