Cam Akers A Flex Consideration In Week 15
2 years agoLos Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has found the end zone for two straight weeks, and now he faces a porous Green Bay Packers run defense in Week 15. He could be a viable flex starter. The Packers' run defense ranks No. 30, while its pass defense ranks No. 5. Given the disparity, it is possible LA would like to rely on its run game as much as possible in Green Bay. In fact, the Packers have faced the third-most rushing attempts from opposing teams and allowed the fourth-most yards and the sixth-most fantasy points. All that said, Akers has been very inefficient on a per-carry basis and would not have produced double-digit fantasy points the past two weeks without scoring touchdowns. Be wary of starting Akers if you have other options, but he is a plausible option if you are in a crunch.
