Houston Texans RB Cam Akers rushed for 42 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. He also caught two passes for five yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Akers received his second straight start and had a solid outing for fantasy players. He probably will see a big drop off in touches next week if Joe Mixon or Dameon Pierce are ready to play again. Akers can be a flex option in fantasy leagues if he receives another start.

Houston Texans RB Cam Akers faces the the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, and the Bills are allowing the third-most rushing yards per game and a league-high 5.7 yards per carrry.
Huddle Up: With Joe Mixon ruled out and Dameon Pierce questionable, Akers should lead the Houston backfield for the second week in a row. He managed 53 yards on 13 carries against Jacksonville in Week 4, and he could top those numbers against a Buffalo defense that was just shredded by Derrick Henry. Dial up Akers as a flex option.

Houston Texans RB Cam Akers rushed 13 times for 53 yards in a 24-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4.
Huddle Up: Akers handled a lot of the work on early downs with Dare Ogunbowale operating as the third-down back. As long as Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce remain sidelined, Akers has potential as a flex option.

Houston Texans RB Cam Akers rushed for 21 yards on nine carries against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. He also caught one pass for eight yards and one touchdown during the game.
Huddle Up: Akers was starting because Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce were injured. Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during practice next week to see if Mixon or Pierce will be able to play. Akers could be a flex option in deeper leagues if he receives another start.

Houston Texans RB Cam Akers had seven carries for 32 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He added a three-yard reception, but his most important play was a fumble inside the 5-yard line, which Chicago ended up recovering.
Huddle Up: Akers took over when Joe Mixon (ankle) suffered an ankle injury, and though Mixon returned, it was Akers that saw most of the work in the second half. Akers' value is tied to the availability of Mixon and Dameon Pierce (hamsting), who sat out Sunday night. If both are out, Akers could hold short-term appeal. If not, he's unlikely to contribute enough to be worth owning.
