2 years agoLos Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running backs Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. are "good to go." Both running backs practiced on Friday after missing time during training camp with soft-tissue injuries. Akers and Henderson returned to full practice to start the week on Monday and should be fine for the Week 1 regular season opener next Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. The Rams backfield might begin as more of a committee between Akers and Henderson early on, but most expect Akers to eventually separate himself as the lead back in LA. The 23-year-old only played in one regular season game in 2021 due to an Achilles injury, but he saw more of a role in the run to the Super Bowl in the postseason. Akers is an RB2 target in fantasy, and Henderson is an ideal handcuff in the later rounds of drafts.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
