Week 18 Start ‘Em: Running Backs
Start of the Week
Cam Akers at Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Akers has been phenomenal in recent weeks, scoring 13 or more points in four of his last five games, including one game with over 34 points. He's also seeing a huge percentage of the Rams' backfield touches, and a matchup against the Seahawks makes him a must-start. Their defense has given up the second-most points to running backs this season.
