Video: The Most Likely Breakout RBs in 2026
that is Mr. Cam Akers of the New York Giants. And I've got to say, I really, really like Cam Akers this year...he brought so much athleticism and three-down ability to the field that it just like it it it took hold of the NFL immediately...He suffered an open ankle dislocation with a fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament in late October...he is very ahead of schedule, that he feels very comfortable with the injury, that he is very close and and near to what he used to be

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

At RB19 ADP, analyst 'really, really like[s] Cam Akers this year.' Impressed by his college tape and three-down ability despite being 'a little bit slow,' noting his athleticism and versatility 'took hold of the NFL immediately.' Suffered open ankle dislocation with fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament in late October; underwent emergency same-day surgery. Cleared to jog by spring, attended April voluntary workouts, and was seen doing backflips at team softball game. Analyst believes he is 'very ahead of schedule' and 'very close and near to what he used to be,' with projection of 'likely no limit by week one.' Not concerned about long-distance explosiveness post-injury given Akers does not have elite 4.3-4.2 speed profile.
