2023 Fantasy Outlook
Akers is talented enough to suffice as a lead runner, and at times he has been exactly that. The Rams intended to make a starter out of him when they took him in the second round of the 2020 draft, and the team appeared committed to him when he rushed back from a summer Achilles tear in 2021 to suit up for the playoffs. It was bizarre to see that change at the beginning of 2022, when the Rams started Darrell Henderson the first five weeks. This understandably upset Akers, who demanded a trade and even looked like he might be released while sitting out the next three games. The Rams continued to waste time with Henderson and even the likes of Malcolm Brown, Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers even after Akers returned to the team Week 9, but Sean McVay finally came to his senses and went back to Akers as the main back from Week 13 onward. To the coach's credit, the Rams fed Akers well those final six weeks, a span in which he ran for 549 yards (5.3 YPC) and six touchdowns. The 24-year-old should be the lead runner again in 2023 after the Rams settled for sixth-round pick Zach Evans as their offseason addition, but potential complications include the history of conflict with McVay and the quality of players surrounding him after a rough offseason for the Rams.

Ends on three-game, 100-yard streak
Akers rushed 21 times for 104 yards and caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Akers had a falling out with the Rams earlier in the season, but he and the team got back on the same page as the 2020 second-round pick finished the campaign with three consecutive 100-yard performances on the ground. Akers rushed 188 times for 786 yards and seven touchdowns overall, and he could open the 2023 season as the Rams' lead back.

A torn Achilles tendon suffered while working out last summer appeared as though it would cost
Akers the entire year, but he made a semi-miraculous return by the final week of the regular
season and mostly handled the lead role in the Rams backfield during the postseason. Prior to
the injury, Akers had been a top breakout candidate, after closing out his rookie year with 221
rushing yards and two TDs in two playoff games. There was no sign of that form when the 2020
second-round pick returned from his Achilles tear for last season's playoffs, as he averaged 2.6
yards on 67 carries without a single run of more than 15 yards. Further complicating the picture,
Henderson used his extra opportunities last year to establish himself as a useful option in the
Los Angeles offense when he was able to stay healthy alongside Sony Michel. While Michel is
now out of the picture, Henderson lingers as a threat to poach both carries and targets, with
fifth-round rookie Kyren Williams a dark horse to get involved if Akers really struggles to regain
the form he displayed at the end of his own rookie year.
