I made a bad choice and I’m owning up to it. Because of my decision I will most likely lose this week by 1 point

I will let this be a learning experience and stay away from the Ram’s RB situation until a lead back is established… or just avoid it all together

They have a lead back, it’s just not Akers

I had Akers in my Flex and took him out last minute to play Devonta Smith.
I just didn’t like the vibes leading up to tonight. Wanted to see him play first.

I’m pretty shocked Henderson has out snapped him by this much so far

Has he seen the field?

I think he may have seen McVays wife naked.. only reason he isn't on the field

You aren’t the only one. The fact they were having him lead the backfield in the playoffs coming of a torn Achilles made me think they would continue that with months more of rest.

Same


But in my defense, my only viable options were Akers or Henderson. Thought we might get 50/50, but good god, this has been 90/10 in the wrong direction

Switched in Sanders at the last minute. Then switched back Akers in the last second. Rip

I have him on two teams and he is starting while Henderson and Singletary ride the bench

Started this guy in two leagues. What a disappointment to start the season. Bad Management drafting this bum. Only hope is for DH Jr to go down.

Nah it’s because he hasn’t been good. Only averaged 2 ypc after he came back last year and word is he hasn’t looked great in practice

Cam Akers isn’t even a factor in their offense.

Looks that way. I started him and Stafford in one league. Probably taking an L this week.

I truly hate fantasy.

Akers + ? this year.

Your primary issue was not starting Akers, it was drafting him.

Just don't look back at your draft and see who else you could have gotten in that spot. No, really, don't do that to yourself.

I avoided Akers in every league.

My last draft was Tuesday night, and I would have taken him in the 5th round, but the guy right ahead of me selected Akers and I ended up taking Etienne.

So far, it looks like I was lucky.

Rushed 3 times for no gain. No passing targets. Ouch.

You ain't the only one baw. Word out of camp was he was the lead back. Still may be eventually. Was healthy. Was going in rounds 3-5 in drafts. Now, probably more like a 7th rounder.

It's only one game, but this one will sting and not sure you can trust him right now.
