Cam Akers is somehow already entering his fourth season in the NFL after three up-and-down years in Los Angeles, hoping to take a firm grip on the starting role in the backfield. The Rams hope he can do that, too, needing someone to help take pressure off the passing attack with Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford.
Akers can be that guy if he stays healthy and focused on becoming a top-end running back in L.A. He’ll face some competition from others at running back, including Kyren Williams, but as of now, Akers looks like he’ll pick up where he left off last season as the No. 1 running back.
