Summary
Akers suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will have season-ending surgery in the coming days, a devastating end to his season before it even got a chance to begin. You should check out his thoughts here, and then check out the Fantasy Football Today emergency podcast about Akers' injury where Jamey Eisenberg seems to be a bit more optimistic about Henderson's chances of being a must-start Fantasy RB:That news obviously overshadowed everything else Tuesday, and you'll get my thoughts on the situation below -- including what it means for Akers in the long run. And, all I'll say for now is, I hope Akers bucks the trend for running backs with Achilles injuries. That leaves unproven guys like Xavier Jones, Jake Funk, and Raymond Calais as the options behind Henderson for now.I've got Henderson basically sliding into Akers' departed role, more or less, though given that he clearly gave way to Akers by the end of last season despite looking pretty solid in his own right, I'm baking in the assumption that he won't have quite as heavy a workload.
