Cam Akers

He played 23 snaps to Cam Akers' one, so Holani looks like a safe bet to be Seattle's backup runner in Super Bowl LX. Holani had 15 receiving yards in the regular season and 27 here, so it seems like the Seahawks trust him to handle passing-down responsibilities in Zach Charbonnet's absence. He might be a reasonable punt play in DFS lineups in two weeks.

With Zach Charbonnet out for the remainder of the postseason because of a torn ACL, the Seahawks are considerably thin at RB2. Holani was just activated off injured reserve and Akers didn't join the team until the middle of the season. Akers does not have a carry with Seattle this year and Holani has just 22 attempts. Though we do buy that both backs will see the field today, it's hard to imagine Seattle doing anything other than leaning on Kenneth Walker. Walker gashed the 49ers for 116 yards and three scores on 19 carries last week. He remains the top fantasy option at running back for the Conference Championship slate.

Here are today’s minor moves, including standard gameday practice squad elevations for the Conference Championship teams not covered in larger posts: Los Angeles Rams Elevated: DE Larrell Murchison, LB Elias Neal Seattle Seahawks Elevated: RB Cam Akers, RB Velus Jones Jr. Following a season-ending ACL tear to RB2 Zach Charbonnet, the Seahawks are calling up […]

Holani will likely see RB2 reps -- at least some of them -- behind Kenneth Walker against the Rams on Sunday. He'll be an interesting DFS punt. Velus Jones and Cam Akers are also on the roster, and one of them will probably be inactive on Sunday if Holani is up.

Macdonald's phrasing suggests Holani, not RB Cam Akers nor RB Velus Jones, would operate as the team's No. 2 running back behind Walker, with former No. 2 RB Zach Charbonnet sidelined by a season-ending ACL tear. Macdonald adds that it is "realistic" for Holani to play this week. He has a chance to take on pass-protection duties while chipping in as a rotational ballcarrier.
