Cam AkersRB
BDGE Fantasy Football really likes Cam Akers significantly more than other available running backs. Akers played weeks one through eight last year before injury and was operating as a true bell-cow in the Giants offense: he saw all nine running back carries inside the 5-yard line, 23 of 26 red zone carries (89%), and caught approximately 65% of running back targets. He is not just a thumper but also a strong pass-catcher and touchdown scorer. The source notes his ankle is a concern but injury reports coming out of camp look positive.
