Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about this Cam Akers fella, whether he’s worth keepin’ on your, you know, that fantasy team thingy. Folks keep askin’ me, “Hey, should I keep this Akers guy or what?” Well, hold your horses, I’ll tell ya what I think.
First off, this Akers, he’s a runnin’ back, plays for the Vikings now, I hear. Used to be with the Rams, but that ain’t important now. What matters is if he’s gonna get you them fantasy points, right? That’s all anyone cares about these days.
Now, some folks sayin’ he ain’t doin’ so hot. Strugglin’ to make a “substantial impact,” they say. Sounds like he ain’t runnin’ too fast or catchin’ too many balls. But then again, the Vikings are doin’ alright, winnin’ games and such. Maybe they just don’t need him to be a superstar right now.
See, they got this other fella, Jones, I think his name is. He’s hurtin’ a bit, so maybe Akers gets more chances to play. Vikings might be savin’ Jones for the playoffs, you know, the important games at the end of the season. So, Akers might get some extra playtime now, which could be good for your fantasy team.
But don’t go gettin’ all excited yet. Akers ain’t no starter, not yet anyway. He’s what they call a “stash,” which means you keep him on your bench, just in case he starts doin’ better. Like puttin’ away some extra jars of peaches for the winter, you never know when you might need ’em.
Then there’s this Mixon fella, got himself hurt too. More runnin’ backs gettin’ hurt, more chances for Akers, see? That’s how this whole thing works. One fella gets hurt, another fella gets a chance. It’s like when old Bessie the cow got sick, we had to rely on Daisy to give us milk. Same kinda thing.
- So, should you keep him? Well, it depends.
- If you got room on your team, ain’t hurtin’ nobody to keep him around for a bit.
- See if he starts playin’ more, see if he starts scorin’ them touchdowns.
But if you need someone who’s gonna score you points right now, Akers ain’t your guy. He’s a gamble, a maybe, a “wait and see.” Kinda like plantin’ them tomato seeds, you never know if they’re gonna grow till you see them little sprouts pokin’ outta the ground.
And don’t be listenin’ to all them fancy experts too much neither. They got all their numbers and stats, but sometimes you just gotta go with your gut. If you feel like Akers is gonna have a good game, then maybe he will. It’s like when I bake a pie, sometimes I just know it’s gonna be good, even before I taste it.
The important thing is to pay attention. Watch the games, see how much Akers is playin’. Read the news, see if the coaches are sayin’ anything about him. Don’t just set your lineup and forget about it. You gotta tend to your fantasy team like you tend to your garden, always checkin’ for weeds and makin’ sure everything’s growin’ right.
And if things ain’t lookin’ good, don’t be afraid to drop him. There’s plenty of other runnin’ backs out there, just waitin’ for a chance. It’s like when you got too many chickens in the coop, sometimes you gotta let a few go to make room for the better layers. It ain’t personal, it’s just business.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this Cam Akers fella. He might be worth keepin’, he might not. It’s up to you to decide. Just remember what I told ya, watch the games, pay attention, and don’t be afraid to make a change if you need to. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my stew.
And one last thing, if you’re thinkin’ of tradin’ him, well, get some advice first. Don’t go tradin’ him for some ol’ scrub. You gotta make sure you’re gettin’ a good deal, somethin’ worth your while. Trading’s like bartering at the market, gotta make sure you ain’t gettin’ swindled.
And them rankings? They got folks who make lists of all the players, tellin’ you who’s good and who’s not. You can look at them if you want, but don’t take ‘em as gospel. They’re just guessin’ same as you and me.
