Cam Akers Elevated to Active Roster

Saturday, February 7, 12:06 PM

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated running back Cam Akers from the practice squad ahead of their Super Bowl LX matchup with the Patriots. Seattle signed the six-year veteran before a Week 13 matchup with the Vikings, and he was made active for Seattle's regular-season finale against the 49ers, seeing the field for only one snap. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) tearing his ACL in the Seahawks' Divisional Round rubber match with San Francisco, Akers was made active for the NFC Championship, again seeing the field for only one snap. Along with Akers, Seattle has activated Velus Jones Jr., though neither is expected to have any impact on the game. George Holani, who carried the ball three times for four yards against the Rams, will continue to serve as the primary backup to Kenneth Walker III.

Javonte Williams Back In RB1 Territory For Difficult Week 4 Matchup

Friday, October 2, 10:13 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams got back on track in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens by rushing 19 times for 98 yards and a touchdown and catching two of his three targets for five yards, finishing his day with 18.3 PPR fantasy points. The Cowboys clear RB1 was inefficient in his first two contests, mustering under three yards per carry across those two contests. With elite Cowboys run-blocking guard Tyler Smith (thumb) still out with an injury, Williams played well in Week 3 despite problems along the offensive line. Dallas will travel to Houston for their Week 4 game, though, and the Texans are one of the toughest defenses in the NFL. Williams' receiving role helps, though he doesn't get an impressive amount of volume through the air by any means. This makes him a boom-or-bust low-end RB1 -- he has the volume to avoid the low end of single-digit scoring outings, but not the pass-catching role to propel him to overall RB1 finishes in any given week. Still, Williams should be locked into starting lineups in all fantasy leagues for the Cowboys' next game.
