I would not if it were me. I guess you could say Worthy is the ceiling play and Akers is the floor.

Worthy for upside, Akers for floor

I almost always go the upside play. Give me Worthy.

Kinda lean Brian Robinson. Still skeptical but he’s getting great usage.

Drop Perine or Steele for Akers? Yes I'm desperate at RB2.


I am also desperate at RB2.

Have Jaylen Warren v. LAC penciled in, but Akers @ MIN is on the waiver wire, and I'm tempted. I could drop Jeff Wilson, Jr. for him.

Your situation is tough because none of the choices is a known quantity. Perine has never been a heavy usage guy. I would not be surprised to see Worthy get a few carries and Steele to get the bulk of the work. I have no idea what Akers will do.

It’s true. The wild card for Perine is Steele. Will they trust a rookie for >75% of snaps? I lean no here and Hunt isn’t playing.

If Perine can get 9-10 carries and a few targets he has a chance for a good game for a stash guy.

Akers just looked really up and down preseason. Definitely had some flash moments.

Honestly we might come back Monday and both have 9 points

Luckily someone else grabbed Akers before I really got a chance too. Kinda rather just hold tight with Steele and Perine and hope one emerges as the one to start.

Must-Know Wide Receiver Fantasy Football Stats

Malik Nabers (WR – NYG)

In the many years I have been analyzing air yards, I don’t think I have ever come across a 66.7% target share or a 74.6% air yards share. Malik Nabers demanded 18 targets on Sunday. All other players on the New York Giants combined for nine. This is the type of dominant usage many fantasy analysts were hoping for when Nabers showed up and immediately became the best pass-catcher on the team. But never would we have thought it would explode to these types of numbers and give him 208 air yards by Week 2.

For some context, the high in air yards for Week 1 was 170 yards by Amari Cooper. In 2023, 200 air yards to a single player happened fewer than 25 times all year. Even Daniel Jones doesn’t seem to be able to screw up an uber-talented player like Nabers who has next to no target competition in New York. Nabers has a legitimate shot at leading all wide receivers in air yards and air yards share for the rest of the season.
