Well, let me tell ya, this whole thing about Cam Akers in fantasy football, it’s like tryin’ to get a pig to fly. If you’re askin’ if he’s droppable, I’d say, “Why not?” If ya got better options, go ahead and drop ‘im like a hot potato. Ain’t nobody got time to keep holdin’ on to someone who’s barely doin’ anything for ya, especially when your team’s needin’ some fresh legs.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ that Akers ain’t had a chance or two, but the truth is, he’s been sittin’ behind Kyren Williams in Week 1, and he missed Week 6 ‘cause of what they called a “personal issue” – turns out it was some kinda spat with Coach McVay, whatever that means. All I know is, it don’t sound like he’s gonna be runnin’ the show anytime soon.
So, what’s the deal with Cam Akers?
Well, folks, the deal is, if ya’re in a redraft league, and you’ve held on to him up to this point, maybe it’s time to let go. Now, I ain’t sayin’ he’s completely useless, but he ain’t doin’ much for you. You might be better off pickin’ up someone else who’s actually gonna help ya win. If you’re stuck with him on your roster, you’re just wastin’ space, especially if you got a few other good running backs to lean on.
Now, some of y’all might be wonderin’, “Should I just drop him completely?” Well, that’s up to you, but I’ll tell ya what—if you’ve already got three solid RBs on your team, Akers probably ain’t gonna hurt ya none if ya drop ‘im. Sure, he’s still sittin’ behind Mattison, but the chances of him turnin’ things around are lookin’ slimmer by the week.
When Might You Regret Droppin’ Cam Akers?
Now, there’s always that tiny chance, and I do mean tiny, that something might shake up the backfield. If Mattison gets hurt, or starts fumblin’ the ball like it’s a hot potato, maybe Akers could step in and get a few touches. But that’s all hypothetical, like wonderin’ if the cow will ever come back home. It could happen, sure, but I wouldn’t bet my farm on it.
So, if you’re askin’ yourself, “Should I drop Akers or hang on to him just in case?” Well, I’d say, go ahead and drop him if you need the spot. Ain’t no shame in it, and if you don’t, you might just be holdin’ on to some old shoes that don’t fit no more.
To Wrap It Up:
- If you’ve got enough good RBs, Cam Akers ain’t worth hangin’ on to.
- He’s been a backup for a while now and ain’t likely to see a big change soon.
- There’s a small chance of an injury to Mattison, but that’s more of a what-if than a sure thing.
- If you need a roster spot, don’t be afraid to drop him. It ain’t gonna hurt ya much.
So, I’d say, if you’re lookin’ at your fantasy roster and thinkin’ about Cam Akers, just drop him if he ain’t helpin’ you. Ain’t no point in keepin’ him around if he’s just takin’ up space, and you might be able to pick up someone who’s actually gonna do somethin’ for ya.
