Week 14
Re: Week 14
Is Akers becoming a must start? If I get through this week, I'll have to start deciding between him, Ronald Jones and DJ Moore. I can start 2 of them. Going to be awfully hard to sit Akers after last nights performance. 20+ points without a TD is a huge game. I also have CEH on my bench, but don't think I can start him no matter what he does this week. His ceiling is high, but his floor is very low.
Re: Week 14
Well the Rams face the Jets next week, so that probably bodes well for Akers. Seattle in week 16 is another solid matchup for him.steelman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 7:36 am Is Akers becoming a must start?

Re: Week 14
I’d consider him the best of the 4 options you mentioned. He’s probably a must start for most people, but would say that technically he’s still matchup dependent. His final two matchups though are decent and most likely don’t have enough better options to where Akers isn’t at least their top flex.steelman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 7:36 am Is Akers becoming a must start?

Re: Week 14
I'm on a bye this week. I own Akers and.... Gibson, Jacobs, DJM.. I've been shockingly healthy all year until now (legitmately, my starters totaled for a combined three missed starts all year).
I was worried all of this was catching up to me / some of those key guys won't be back next week. Akers now seems like a more than suitable replacement.

DJ Moore on COVID list with ankle injury, may or may not play, will he be effective if he does?
Jacobs ankle injury, may or may not play, will he be effective if he does?
Evans with a hamstring injury, may or may not play, will he be effective if he does?
Godwin with a finger procedure to remove some screws, likely to play but how is his hand feeling?
Swift coming off a 3 week layoff due to concussion and getting sick, may or may not play, will he be effective if he does?
CEH coming off of getting sick, may or may not play, will he be effective if he does? He hasn't been too hot regardless these past 5-6 weeks anyways
Going to be a quick trip to the playoffs for me I reckon...

Re: Week 14
Akers went 29/171 and his longest run was only 35 yards. So, even without that, he goes 28/136. Just a testament to how dominant a run-blocking performance that was from the Rams, and of course Akers maximized it.

Re: Week 14
All I know is Bill called the whole D together after they got down big early for a reason. It's like the Rams offense surprised them or something. Add in a one-dimensional offense and a quality opponent and it was a real, never-really-competitive stinker.murphysxm wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 10:58 amI did not watch the game, did NE just not show up on defense?Cameron Giles wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 10:45 am Akers went 29/171 and his longest run was only 35 yards.

NE defense was bad.

LAR played more 2TE sets instead of 3WR sets which hugely helped Akers run game. It's as if they finally figured out how to block for him so he didn't have to get hit in the backfield.

Re: Week 14
I've heard/read commentary that they going 2 TE like that was unusual, but I coulda sworn they went TE heavy in the latter part of last year, which seemed to coincide in a drop in Kupp's floor.YouMightDieTryin wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 1:37 pmNE defense was bad.

Re: Week 14
Suddenly I don't feel as bad for taking Akers over Swift and Jefferson, although I'd still be happier with Jefferson, he's legit.
Re: Week 14
Was Higbee/Everett injured? I feel like both had decent seasons but they may have not went 2TE much due to injuryPullo Vision wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 5:30 pmI've heard/read commentary that they going 2 TE like that was unusual, but I coulda sworn they went TE heavy in the latter part of last year, which seemed to coincide in a drop in Kupp's floor.YouMightDieTryin wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 1:37 pmNE defense was bad.

Jets are winless, but they are playing hard to win and can defend the run. I wouldn't call the Jets a walkover.
