Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on Cam Akers

PodcastSNF REAX + Week 5 Fantasy TakeawaysOctober 12, 2026

From the episode

Scadaboo, he's just not catching nearly as many passes. Like last, last season, he was on pace to finish top five or so in running back receptions. And this year is just not adding up. So I think he's getting very hard to trust.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Akers' declining pass-catching role makes him hard to trust going forward.

Akers is becoming difficult to trust in fantasy going forward. Despite playing 84 snaps in Week 5, he is not receiving the volume in pass-catching that would elevate his value; he was on pace for top-five running back receptions last season but is not tracking that way this year, limiting his ceiling.
