For his standards, Akers had kind of a down season. He did break the 100-point mark and make it through the season healthy, but Akers made 78 percent of his kicks and didn't make a field goal of 50 or more yards. In his last seven seasons, though, Akers averaged 111 points. And he made more 83 percent or more of his kicks in five of his last seven seasons. Despite last season, Akers remains an accurate kicker with a strong leg. And he plays for an offense that can score some points, giving him plenty of chances throughout the season.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Not at the top of the kicker rankings, but still a solid No. 1. The Eagles offense should give him a lot of chances to score some points. And Akers has a track record of success, which is a plus for fantasy owners.
