Fantasy owners are baffled by Cam Akers and Allen Robinson’s disappearance vs. Bills

Allen Robinson Cam Akers Bills Rams Matw Stafford Sean McVay

The Rams’ title defense got off to a stunning start on Thursday night, and not in a good way. They were blown out by the Bills at home, 31-10, starting the year 0-1 for the first time in Sean McVay’s tenure.

Among the most shocking developments from the loss were the disappearing acts by Cam Akers and Allen Robinson. Combined, they touched the ball four times for a total of 12 yards, which is not the way many people expected their 2022 debuts to go.

Akers, who was the backup to Darrell Henderson Jr., only played 18% of the offensive snaps and carried it three times for zero yards. He wasn’t targeted a single time in the passing game, either.

Robinson was targeted only twice in the entire game, and one of those came on a late deep shot by Matthew Stafford on the Rams’ final offensive play. He caught one pass for 12 yards, and Stafford barely even looked his way.

Akers and Robinson were popular players in fantasy football drafts this year, expecting to have big seasons for the Rams. It’s still early, but fantasy owners want answers.

They’re already beginning to panic about Akers and Robinson being busts this year. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter.
