From the episode

one of his calling cards coming out of college was how good, I believe, in his class he was the most efficient receiving running back in his class. It wasn't Ashton Gentry. I'll tell you that right now. Coming out of Boise State, it was Cam Scadaboo. And the fact that they don't use him in the receiving game, I don't know if that's a Winston thing. I don't know if it's a Matt Nagy offensive thing. But that's a little disappointing because if we could depend on Cam to get his, let's just be conservative. 14 to 16 touches a game. And then you could pencil in. And I'm not even going crazy, Matt. Five, six targets for Scadaboo.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Akers underutilized in passing game despite elite college receiving efficiency.

Cam Akers is underutilized in the receiving game despite being the most efficient receiving running back in his college class; the lack of involvement in the passing game (not getting 5-6 targets per game) is disappointing and limits his fantasy ceiling, possibly due to Winston or Matt Nagy's offensive scheme.
