Cam Akers, the Houston Texans running back, is facing a challenging start to his NFL career, plagued by injuries including two Achilles tears. Despite these setbacks, he secured a spot on the Texans' 53-man roster and may still hold value for fantasy football enthusiasts.
With fellow running backs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce potentially sidelined, Akers could be a viable option in Week 4, especially given the Jacksonville Jaguars' struggles against running backs, making him a borderline must-start if the others remain out.
