Who Should I Start? Cam Akers or Sean Tucker

Wednesday, November 26, 1:47 PM

The Seattle Seahawks are signing free-agent running back Cam Akers to their active 53-man roster on Wednesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Akers, 26, spent time with the Minnesota Vikings this season and will now join the 8-3 Seahawks for RB depth. The Seahawks are facing the Vikings in Week 13 this Sunday. Akers appeared in only three games for Minnesota this year, carrying the ball five times for 19 yards while also completing a 32-yard pass on a trick play. The six-year NFL veteran will give Seattle some more backfield depth, with George Holani (hamstring) a candidate to land on Injured Reserve. Akers probably won't have any fantasy value as long as both Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet stay healthy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker earned himself a larger role in the offense after scoring three touchdowns in Week 11. He followed up that performance with 42 rushing yards on 12 attempts during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Now, it's unclear what kind of role Tucker is going to have with lead back Bucky Irving returning this weekend. The 24-year-old figures to still have a role, but this could turn into a three-back committee with Rachaad White involved as well. The Bucs figure to limit Irving during his first game back in the mix. Tucker should remain involved, but shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a low-end flex option for Week 13.
