Rams Cam Akers - RB - torn Achilles

Bummer. Gives them enough time to prep a new starter.

Looking like a guy who will never stay healthy. Achilles are career altering injuries too

I think Henderson is decent, but he's no akers

Holy crap, I almost traded Derrick Henry for him. I am in a dynasty league and this trade made sense, since most RB's fall off after age 27.

That sucks, I hate to see players lose out because of injury. On a side note, RB market just got thinner in FF.

This always seems to happen. After the top 5 guys, it drops off, but you feel like there is some depth and then a few guys go down and it all of a sudden very thin.

Sucks for Cam - that's a big hit to the Rams.

That would have been a trade you would have regretted for a while. I never trade/release older players until they actually start to decline. Henry will have another productive season.

Sucks to hear, never like to see any injuries. I wonder if they will be giving AP a call.

Could be a leveon opportunity. Though I think he screwed himself out of anymore opportunities with his comments about Reid

If you wait until they decline the value is much lower.
I traded Kamara for Kyler Murray, 1st round pick and Chris Carson when Kamara was at his height, knowing that when Brees leaves he likely won't be as effective in FF.

Now I am dominating because of that trade, and that first round pick turned into DAndre Swift.

Brutal blow? He's a RB and an ok one at that.

 

[Visionman]

Huge blow, because their QB needs a complete team to have any success.

Yeah I can’t imagine him and McShay together. I think Bell is done as a starting rb. Only reason I said AP is because he played with Stafford the past few season and could be a decent compliment with Henderson.

Yeah I get that but you would have also traded a top RB who has a few more years in him for an unproven RB which dealt with injury issues already. If you were getting more out the trade like you did with Kamara, then yes it’s something to think about. But you made it seem like it was Henry for Akers straight up, which I don’t know if that’s the case.

Yep.....Stafford still does not have a running game.

injuries suck

 

[Probie2429]

Leveon Bell available?

 

[Chicago Staleys]

They will trade their 2024 1st round pick for a RB.

or they will bring back Gurley and he will rush for 1200 yards

I hate the Rams.

I think Derrick Henry will go strong until he's 30. While at Alabama he was pretty much a backup until his senior year and his first 2.5 seasons in Tennessee was RBBC with Murray/Lewis. Over the past 8 years (college + NFL) he's gotten adding up rushes and receptions he's at 1877 total. If you look at a younger player, like 25 year old Zeke, that guys has 2,304 total. That's ~23% more usage.

Add in that he's a big guy with having a lot of tread on the tires I'm thinking he's got at least 2 more seasons where he's a top 5 RB in the league.
