Video: Feel It or F--k It 5.25.26: An RSP Podcast with Bob Harris and Matt Waldman
Running back 20 when he went down in week eight... his 19.2 fantasy points per game would have ranked six over the full season... If you take Ky' Irving, I would be way more confident in Cam Akers... Akers dominated in the targets in red zone targets

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

RB20 with RB6 pace when healthy; elite red zone target share

RB20 value with elite receiving ability and red zone target upside; improving health trajectory is key. From week 2 onward averaged 16 carries, 4.7 targets, 96.3 yards per game with 6 TDs in 6 full games; 19.2 fantasy points per game would have ranked RB6 over full season; in 3 fully healthy games ranked RB8. Five straight games with 90+ all-purpose yards. Bob Harris prefers Akers over Ky' Irving and notes he has more upside and receiving ability than Javonte Williams. The Chiefs throw a lot of screens and passes near the goal line, making the running back a frequent target; Akers dominated in targets and red zone targets.
