The fantasy playoffs have finally arrived. The need to win to keep playing motivates the aggressive FAB recommendation I have for the top option for the week. After all, you can't take your FAB with you.
Roster percentages are for ESPN/Yahoo.
Cam Akers, RB, Los Angeles Rams
35%/53%
I think Akers has to be the No. 1 waiver choice this week because of his ceiling and the fantasy premium that exists for running backs, but I'm honestly skeptical that he will provide any return on that investment. The major reason for optimism is that Akers nearly doubled his previous season high with a 63% offensive snap share and took 21 of the Rams' 27 running back carries on Sunday.
