Rams Beat: RB Cam Akers emerging as powerful weapon

In a running back committee with Darrell Henderson Jr. and Malcolm Brown, Cam Akers is emerging as a powerful weapon in a crucial stretch that includes an upcoming Thursday night matchup against the New England Patriots (6-6).

Fantasy Impact: 

Akers still came off the bench behind Henderson, but he again ended up leading the way, this time with 72 yards on a season-high 21 carries. He also caught a pass for 22 yards. The story said Akers' 22 touches were the most from any Rams back this season. Brown had 21 touches in a season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys and Henderson also had 21 in a Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Akers has a TD in three-straight games.
