Cam Akers and Allen Robinson were both widely drafted in the first five or six rounds of fantasy drafts this year. Akers is entering his first full season since 2020 after missing most of last year, while Robinson is in his first year with an above-average quarterback since, well, pretty much ever.
They both flopped in Week 1, combining for a total of four touches for 12 yards. Akers rushed for zero yards on three attempts and Robinson caught one pass for 12 yards, getting just two targets all game long.
Fantasy owners are now wondering how to manage these two players. Should you start Akers again this week against the Falcons? Is Robinson worth starting after getting only two targets? It’s not an easy decision, especially if you’re thin on options at running back or receiver.
