Fitz’s Top Draft Targets
Akers led the NFL in rushing over the final six weeks of the 2022 regular season and ranked RB4 in half-point point per reception (PPR) scoring over that stretch. He had more than 100 rushing yards in each of his last three games. Now two years removed from the torn Achilles that wiped out most of his 2021 season, Akers doesn’t have much in-house competition for carries, and the Rams’ 2023 schedule is littered with opponents that had mediocre run defenses last year.
Commanders head coach Ron Rivera has been talking about wanting to get Gibson more involved in the Washington offense this year. Talk is cheap, but perhaps Washington’s new offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, will be more fond of Akers than former Washington OC Scott Turner seemed to be.
Gibson is as big and as fast as Jonathan Taylor and has extensive pass-catching experience as a converted college wide receiver. Gibson also scored double-digit touchdowns in each of his first two NFL seasons despite playing in a limited offense. With J.D. McKissic no longer on the Commanders’ roster, Gibson figures to see a lot more action on passing downs.
