He's like very clearly going to get the ball 15 times, whether they're winning, losing, or it's a tie... If he catches passes, he can be the RB 12 this year. He doesn't catch passes. He's going to be the RB 21.

STACKED’s take

Akers is a volume-based play with upside if he earns a passing-game role.

Akers is expected to receive 15 touches regardless of game script. Travis A-chan notes he ran hard and well in Week 1. The primary question is his involvement in the passing game; if he catches passes, he has RB12 upside, but he could finish as an RB21 if he remains strictly a runner.
