McVay won't commit to Akers as lead back

Dec 11, 2020

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that he would not commit to RB Cam Akers as their starting/feature back going forward. McVay also pointed to the productiveness of Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown in other games, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Okay Sean. We all saw what Akers did last night. Anything less than the starter/feature role for Akers would be negligence of the highest order. But then again, trusting NFL coaches to do the right thing can be difficult to expect. Do not worry about Akers being usurped by Henderson or Brown short of a major disappointment by the rookie.

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

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.
