Cam Akers Could Miss Week 3
4 years agoLos Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) left Week 2 early with a rib injury, and he missed practice on Wednesday as a result. If he misses the game because of the injury, obviously you're not playing him. However, if he's active, Akers will be nothing more than an extremely risky RB3/flex in this crowded Rams backfield. Through two games, he's averaging just 3.1 yards per carry and is fighting for touches with Malcolm Brown (pinkie) and Darrell Henderson. Against a Buffalo Bills Defense that should be getting their two best linebackers back in the fold this week, we would be comfortable letting Akers sit on the bench until he's fully healthy with a more firm role in LA.
