I know I am. Just picked him up in one league for Sky Moore now Im trying to dump Sutton for Akers in another.

I'd love to hear the reasoning because I have Akers and have no clue what to do with him.

Im thinking Minnesota is the landing spot. Regardless, wherever he lands he should be the RB1.

No, I think Akers is droppable if you have something you want on waivers

Healthy scratched, no idea if/when he'll get back in good graces and not sure Kyren will go away even if he does

If he's traded, maybe he goes to a good spot, maybe he doesn't

At the end of the day, we don't even know if Akers is good- he has been up and down throughout his career and it seems like his current team keeps looking for reasons not to play him

I don't even think he's the sole RB1 in Minnesota, he'd split carries with Mattinson. Akers just doesn't have much value right now, and I don't think I would want to give up Sutton for him. Moore is a different story, but Akers is tough to trust.

I got St Brown, D Smith, C Kirk and DJ Moore so its worth the risk

Akers is washed. Mattison > Akers
Akers can be dropped in all 12 team leagues and under

This is almost identical to last year. No one wanted him then. Just pick him up for the final 3-4 weeks when he has a burst to get everyone excited for next year.

I'm in the exact same boat. I plan to hold onto him for now and see if he lands somewhere that might increase his value.

Why do people act like he has actual trade value? He’s a below average RB with a torn Achilles on his medical record, his only shot at relevancy was with the Rams and he blew it. No one is going to want him.

Ackers? First off all, he was a healthy scratch for culture reasons I believe I heard.

If this is true, that just means he is a pain in the arse. Now if he's a pain and the arse and cmc, well someone will trade with him.

If you are a pain in the arse who ran for 29 yards on 22 carries in the first week, you don't get end up not getting traded or cut.

Meh. It really is echoes of last year. If you have bench room I’d hold him just to see. He’s got talent. I don’t think the rams are cutting kyren like they did Henderson but I also would point out he hasn’t been hugely productive at like 30 carries for 100 yards despite booming in fantasy with the TDs
