Cam Akers is expected to take the lead in the backfield against the Jaguars, especially with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce likely sidelined. Although he had a limited role with just nine carries in the previous game, he managed to find the end zone. With the Texans favored to win, Akers is in a prime position for a bounce-back performance, provided Mixon and Pierce are confirmed out.

Cam Akers is poised to start as the lead back for the Texans in Week 4, filling the gap left by injured teammates Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce. With Pierce's participation uncertain and Mixon sidelined, Akers is positioned to take on a significant role against a struggling Jaguars defense.

Akers has faced one of the toughest starts to his NFL career, with a history of injuries, including two torn Achilles tendons in 2021 and 2023. Despite these challenges, he made the Texans' 53-man roster and may show fantasy value in Week 4. He scored 9.4 half-point PPR points recently against the Vikings, benefiting from a featured role due to injuries to Mixon and Pierce. If both are out again, Akers could be a top-20 running back option against the Jaguars, who have struggled against running backs this season. His role is crucial as he looks to capitalize on the current injuries in the backfield.

Akers took over as the Texans' RB1 in Week 3 due to injuries to Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce but struggled with only 2.33 yards per carry in a loss to Minnesota, finishing as the RB29 for the week despite scoring a touchdown. His status remains uncertain for Week 4, but if Mixon and Pierce are sidelined again, he may have another chance to lead the backfield against the Jaguars, who rank poorly in run defense. However, he is seen as a short-term pickup and not worthy of heavy investment in FAAB.

Cam Akers has seen a resurgence in value with the Houston Texans following injuries to Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce. After being inactive in the opening week, he stepped up in Week 3, leading the backfield with 29 snaps, nine carries, and a receiving touchdown. His involvement as both a rusher and pass-catcher suggests a significant role in Bobby Slowik's offense until Mixon and Pierce return. Despite a limited yardage total in his most recent outing, Akers is positioned as a key player to target from the waiver wire, offering potential consistency in a backfield that is navigating injuries.
