Cam Akers value

Superflex 12 teams. What have y’all seen Akers be traded for? I heard someone got Barkley for him straight up on a podcast

He is being overvalued imo. A lot of people on here have rated him higher than JK Dobbins, and I just don't see it. Dobbins is more talented, on a better run oriented team, and is arguably a better receiver out of the backfield once he's used more there, which I am hearing from their OC they want to do. And I think McVay will still want to mix in Darrell Henderson as well. Dobbins' backup, Gus Edwards, isn't as much a threat in my eyes.

He should be valued right around where RBs Antonio Gibson and CEH are in my view.

I am interested in buying Akers so I have been monitoring his price on KTC. He's very expensive right now and is unfortunately for buyers, valued near his ceiling. So it's tough to buy.

Over the off-season, his value has been overall RB6-7 pretty consistently. He's expensive to acquire now and I would not be surprised to see owners move older stud RB1s to obtain him. There's pretty much nothing that can happen to hurt his value this off-season, McVay is already touting him as a workhorse back and now they've improved the offense with Stafford. If I owned, I'd be holding tight. I would buy though at the right price. Maybe something like Josh Jacobs and a mid-1st could get it done.

I'm all in on Akers I traded Jefferson to get Akers straight up. He's valued in the right spot imo Rb6-7 area but given his age he'll command more in a trade then normal... if he goes out and has a top 8 season then he might very well be unattainable. Of course there's risk he's a RB and they're all risky and can lose value at the snap of a finger.. I'm buying at slightly overpriced (if need be)and Holding tight

As others have mentioned, he is very pricey this offseason and I would be hesitant to buy at his current price. It's a gamble to buy now but at the same time if he hits, he will be more pricey. I have seen Akers go for the 1.01+ this offseason and the price in my league was crazy high when I asked for a price check. He is a player I'm happy not to add right now.

That is crazy if true. Akers is overvalued only because guys like Gibson are going a round later and to me they are the same player. I wait for Gibson every time.

I like Akers but agree he’s overpriced. I think many are expecting a huge workload but I expect Henderson to still get a significant share of touches. They split carries with 3 backs last year and I think they’ll be use both back this year. Henderson put up similar stats (slightly better) compared to Akers last year. I think Akers will definitely get the bigger share but Henderson won’t go away.

No where near the same player ...very different
Akers in a top 10 offense and was getting most the touches towards the end of the season and was the bell cow in playoffs
Gibson played most his games under 50% snaps and his saving grace was alot of tds...Gibson will most likely have less tds this year..Gibson imo is a sell ....he just had good variance

Although I’m not arguing the merits of Akers vs Dobbins, I am always surprised to see people dismiss Gus Edwards as not a threat to Dobbins workload and then turn around and preach that Henderson is going to steal a ton of touches from Akers. Dobbins is a phenomenal talent, but what about the Ravens says they won’t split the backfield? That is what they have historically done, and it is not like Edwards is a slouch.

Guy wanted Zeke and a 1st for him. I didn't do it, but I can see that being around the asking price.

I'll disagree. Akers will have to deal with Henderson so he likely will not continue to get most of the touches. WFT will be good this year and Gibson is in line to see a significant work increase.

Dont let Henderson blind you to the fact that Akers is the workhorse....Henderson had little to none stacked boxes and played while Akers Nursing an injury..Akers played with mostly stacked boxes and when healthy Henderson got little work.. Your putting way way to much weight on Henderson...

[Never Veto1]

Way overpriced and completely not worth it.

Yeah hats a bit much.

That is completely insane to trade JJ for Cam. Atleast you acknowledge it is enormously risky. Trading a top 5 dynasty wr for what a RB might do is crazy.
