Rams don't plan to trade RB Cam Akers

On Monday, Rams head coach Sean McVay cited that recent success in response to a question about whether the Rams would consider dealing Cam Akers this offseason.

“Oh, no,” McVay said, via Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. “I think right now, with what he’s done continuing to build on that momentum, I think it’d be silly based on what a great job he’s done to think of it anything differently than him being a big part of what you want to be able to do moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story summed it up nicely: there was a point this season when it looked like running back Akers had played his final snap for the Rams, but attempts to trade him didn’t go anywhere and Akers eventually returned to the lineup. Akers has run 64 times for 285 yards and six touchdowns over the last four games, including a 118-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Broncos in Week 16. As of now, Akers looks like he has a future with the Rams, especially since the team doesn't have a lot of draft assets. If the Rams can get back to their Super Bowl potential, Akers could have some fantasy value in 2023.
