3 years agoThe Los Angeles Rams designated running back Cam Akers (Achilles) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. The Rams were never ruling out the chance that Akers could return this year after tearing his Achilles in July, even if it seemed like a long shot. While the 22-year-old is now eligible to be activated from IR, it remains to be seen if he'll actually play in the final three games of the regular season. Fantasy managers still alive in the playoffs shouldn't feel the need to run out and add Akers off the waiver wire, unless maybe you roster Darrell Henderson or Sony Michel or both. The best bet is that Akers doesn't return until the postseason, and even then it's debatable how much of a role he'd actually have alongside Henderson and Michel, who have both been productive at different points this season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
