Rams RB Cam Akers (ankle) already out for Week 16

Dec 22, 2020

Rams RB Cam Akers has a high ankle sprain, Sean McVay says, which will cause him to miss this next game, at least.

Related players: Darrell Henderson, Malcolm Brown

Fantasy Impact:

Akers had his best game two Thursdays ago and even led the Rams backfield last week in a dreadful effort against the Rams, but he didn't make it out of Week 15 healthy. Akers is already out for Week 16 and it wouldn't be shocking if he misses Week 17 as well, but that's to be determined. Henderson seems likely to get a bigger workload but Brown will be involved as well in a matchup against the Seahawks.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
