Houston Texans running back Cam Akers scored his second touchdown of the season on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, capping a day in which he had 42 rushing yards on nine carries and caught two of three targets for five yards. The fifth-year back scored on a 15-yard run in the first quarter, his first touchdown of longer than 10 yards since September, 2022. The Florida State product's fantasy relevance going forward, however, will be tied directly to Houston's injury report. Once starting running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is healthy enough to play, Akers' role surely will decrease. Houston travels to New England in Week 6.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is trending towards making his first career start during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Fellow back Rachaad White (foot) has been limited to one practice this week and is considered a game-time decision for Week 6. If White sits, Irving is expected to get a majority of the snaps in the backfield. He has been effective this season with 247 yards on 44 carries, which is 5.6 yards per carry. The Saints defense is middle of the road when it comes to defending against the run. Irving should be to find success and is in the RB2 conversation, assuming White is unable to play.
