Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has received high praise in the NFL. His head coach, Sean McVay, recently spoke on SiriusXM Mad Dog Sports Radio and stated that Akers has had a strong offseason and will be a huge part of what the Rams do in 2023. The coach also added that Akers has built a rapport with the team’s new running back coach and has matured mentally and physically.
Akers had somewhat of a disappointing 2022 season, falling out of favor in the Rams’ offense. However, with running back Darrell Henderson gone, Akers has the opportunity to build upon his 2022 season, where he rushed for 786 yards on less than half of the team’s snaps. Fantasy football players will be keen to keep an eye on Akers in the coming season, as he is expected to be a vital component of the Rams’ offensive strategy.
Meanwhile, at New York Giants camp, tight end Darren Waller has received positive reviews despite limited reps as the team focuses on his health. Waller, who has dealt with injuries over the last two seasons, has played just 20 games in that time but has consistently averaged over 65 yards per game. This dynamic weapon will be crucial for quarterback Daniel Jones as he looks to improve his passing statistics.
Finally, rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has received a slow integration into the Giants’ offense. The team has been working with him on route concepts and timing, which differ from what he experienced in college. Hyatt, who will be joining an offense that places a strong emphasis on these factors, will need to work hard to succeed and move up the ranks over more seasoned players such as Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard. His progress will be one to watch during the upcoming training camp.
Overall, it’s clear that there is plenty of exciting developments in the world of fantasy football. Fans and players alike will be watching these players closely throughout the 2023 season, eager to see how they perform.
