The 2021 fantasy football season has suffered its first major injury blow, as the Rams have lost Cam Akers due to a torn Achilles, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Akers, a popular breakout candidate in fantasy circles, was coming off the board in the second round of most mock and best-ball drafts, so his loss is a very significant one.
The Rams will now look to lean on Darrell Henderson as their top running back. He did show some flashes last season, especially during a four-week stretch at the start of the year when he scored 19 or more points three times.
