All last offseason I said that the San Francisco 49ers were the key to unlocking fantasy football in 2021. It was a team that we needed to get right to unlock excellent value across draft boards. I was right about the idea but, whether due to missed player evaluations or lack of information coming out of training camp/preseason, I couldn't have been more wrong about the execution.
However, they have two massive pivot point players that we need to get right:Akers goes at an extremely comfortable range in drafts — outside the top-two rounds — and is only the industry consensus ranked RB16. That’s pretty tempting to lock up a potential bell-cow back on an offense we all expect to be good. The Rams gave Akers 31 touches per game during their Super Bowl run despite coming off a serious injury.
Akers is still battling against history in terms of running backs successfully returning from an Achilles tear. There's also a chance the Rams give him a breather on passing downs, as we saw in the Super Bowl withI’m in line with consensus rankings on Akers representing a clear understanding of the risk/reward proposition of the player.to fail this season as he's set to moonwalk right into the Rams' No. 2 wide receiver role.
The Rams' offense has always functioned better with a true X-receiver who could beat man coverage on the outside. Look no further than back toimpact on the team late last season and how crucial he was to the Super Bowl game plan. They aren't in that game without Beckham. Robinson profiles as that type of player.Lastly, while I’d love you to trust my evaluation on wideouts, you don’t have to believe in Robinson.
