Matt Waldman and Bob Harris view Cam Akers as a fantasy value. Waldman dismisses behavioral concerns, comparing his personality to John Riggins. Harris notes Akers' erratic behavior is a 'feature, not a bug' and highlights his previous usage, noting he played 69% of snaps and handled 60% of touches when healthy last year, with potential for red zone usage.PositiveValueMay 25, 2026
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.NegativeSleeperMar 19, 2026
Brandon Angelo identifies Cam Akers as a high-graded running back pushed down in draft rankings; graded as a top-10 NFL running back before injury, but regime change risk (e.g., Jeremiah Love acquisition) could limit role opportunity despite strong talent evaluation.PositiveValueNo date
Bob Harris expresses strong conviction in Cam Akers as a draft target, stating 'I'm all in on that' when Akers is available a couple picks after the Kyren Williams tier. Matt Waldman reinforces the endorsement, emphasizing that Akers' persona, behavior, and playing style are inseparable from his value: 'his persona, how he acts, his behaviors is part of how he plays.' Waldman notes he wrote a contrarian take defending Akers' backflip as authentically him, and is 'all in on Cam and that crazy that he is' as long as the competitive fire remains.
