Detroit Lions PK David Akers admitted that he's still not 100 percent following the aggravation that brought on lingering effects of his double hernia surgery last offseason. He hasn't been doing much kicking in organized team activities so far. He's taking it slow so he can be ready to go by training camp.
Fantasy Tip: Akers isn't even a sure bet to win the job over Havard Rugland. Whoever comes away with the gig, however, should serve as a frequent rental, if not a starting fantasy PK, thanks to this offense's potency.
