Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Cam Akers' fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. There wasn't a good split to judge this backfield on last year due to one of Akers or Darrell Henderson constantly being banged up; just realize it was Akers at the end of the season that was thriving and seemingly earned the trust of Sean McVay to stay on the field every single down. An improved offense is expected with Matthew Stafford in town, and this offensive line also appears to be anyone's idea of a top-10 unit. Akers carries some risk if Henderson is more involved than some think, but ultimately projects as the lead back inside of one of the league's better offenses. Ian closes out the podcast with Akers' rank and standing among the second-year RBs.
