BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: It doesn't matter if a running back is projected to have great volume because of injuries at the position. He can still be sat. Houston Texans running back Cam Akers was bad last year, has been bad this year, and has two Achilles tendon tears on his injury history.
Akers carried the ball 13 times for 53 yards against one of the worst defenses in the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that's been marked by complete ineptitude this season and had lost one of its best defenders. Akers didn't catch any passes. The Texans don't seem to trust him much.
It sounds like Cam Akers might get another start. The problem with that is he's......not good.
Two games:
- 22 carries for 74 yards
- 3 targets and 1 for 8 receiving7.6 PPR ppg which includes a TD that saved his Week 3 fantasy day.
Let someone else deal with that.

Now he's facing the Buffalo Bills, one of the best defenses in the league, and while they got gashed by Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens last week, it would be a crime to compare Akers to Henry. Akers is bad at football and he's a third-string running back for a reason.
It's hard to trust him. It's unlikely he will get many points unless he scores rushing touchdowns, and those are highly unpredictable. Barring that or unexpected passing-game usage, there's not much upside here.
