Rams to leave Cam Akers (healthy) off Week 2 lineup
The Los Angeles Rams are leaving running back Cam Akers (healthy) off of their lineup for Week 2's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
What It Means:
It appears that Akers and the Rams are at odds again for the second time in as many seasons. The former second-round back spent multiple games away from his team last season as the two sides worked through some behind-the-scenes issues, but it looks like old tensions have risen up again. With Akers sidelined, the Rams could utilize Kyren Williams as an every-down player.
Williams could be queued up for a strong Week 2 performance if the Rams can overcome San Francisco's tough defense. We currently have Williams projected to score 7.5 fantasy points.
