McVay: 'loved the way' Rams RB Cam Akers responded this week

Sep 14, 2022

Sean McVay said he "loved the way" Cam Akers responded this week.

"I like the way that he went through the first walkthrough of the week. I liked his focus and concentration in the meetings and I expect that to translate to practice."

McVay went on to say "...I have true confidence that he and Darrell [Henderson] are both going to do a very good job for us and I’m excited about that coming to life this week." Seems like this could become a muddy fantasy RB situation for the Rams going forward, but it's hard to believe if Akers is healthy and eventually comes out of the doghouse, he won't be the team's RB1. It's a nice matchup against the Falcons this week and for now at least, Henderson seems like the safer play. After last week, it would be hard to insert Akers back into lineups this week for Week 2.

“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

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
