Cam Akers, RB, Rams

Akers was in need of a strong performance against the Arizona Cardinals and by rushing 12 times for 61 yards and a touchdown, the young back seems to be getting more integrated into the offense. He had a bad fumble on the goal line as he reached to score but it was punched out of his hand, plays like that will hurt Akers' case to be the feature back.
