RB7 in PPG with elite goal-line role; must-draft in round 4 if RB-needy

Cam AkersRB

Cam Akers is RB19 by composite ADP, typically drafted mid-fourth round, but a must-draft under specific roster construction. Akers was RB7 in adjusted points per game last season. He's a featured RB with elite goal-line security and high touchdown floor: he had seven touchdowns in 6.25 healthy games last season and is described as a 'literal bowling ball' that cannot be taken off the field near the goal line. Backup Tyron Tracy Jr. will not displace him in the red zone. Touchdown certainty is the primary appeal, especially valuable in a lower-scoring fantasy environment where TD upside is increasingly important. Must-draft specifically when you lack two RBs in the first two rounds or when you've taken an elite WR or TE early.
