The NFL season 2022-23 opened from where it ended in February. The Defending Champions, LA Rams, went to war with the visiting Josh Allen and the Bills. Just like some Bisons, they run rampant over the home team. The fans, especially fantasy managers, are upset over Sean McVay after Cam Akers failed to produce. They expressed their disgrace on Twitter.

The Rams played two offensive series against the Buffalo Bills during the season opener game. But Cam Akers wasn’t able to deliver. The RB had three carries for zero yards in the game. In the rotation, he was behind Darrell Henderson Jr. with 13 carries. Brandon Powell also was in action for the Rams. Because Akers tore his Achilles before last season, drafting him was an inherent risk.
ESPN Insider Field Yates also reported that LA Rams running back Cam Akers sat out in the opening quarter. Darrell Henderson was in charge of all four carriers.
Rams RB Cam Akers did not play in the first quarter.
Darrell Henderson handled all 4 carriers.

A ruptured Achilles sidelined Cam Akers for the bulk of the 2021 season. Despite his resurgence during the team’s Super Bowl quest and in the 2022-23 season opener, he is far from 100 percent. The Buffalo Bills defeated the Los Angeles Rams 31-10 in their season opener.
Cam Akers’ Fantasy Managers express contempt after RB’s lack of productivity

A user claimed it was evident that Henderson and Williams would see a majority of rushes as well.
Why would you draft him lol. Thats y’all’s fault. It was pretty clear this offseason that Henderson and Williams were gonna get a lot of carries too.
