I can't claim to know much in-depth about these guys (besides guys like Gurley, Gore, McCoy and Peterson). But at first glance one I'd wonder about is Duke Johnson. His YPC were down last year for a bad HOU team but in the previous 4 years he averaged 4.7 YPC and caught 200+ passes. He has versatility the Rams like.


Yes, I think that Johnson should be considered as well. IMO, though, he appears to be the same type of back as Henderson (though I believe Henderson is faster).

I guess that you can count me in the camp of desiring a bigger back for goal-line/short-yardage situation s. When that crack in the LOS opens up and either Adams or Wilson is between that TD or critical 1st down, I want someone who stands a good chance of having success in that situation.

Frank Gore?

  These 16 running backs are free agents; could any of them replace Cam Akers?

  I don't think it gets better than Peterson.

alyoshamucci155July 21, 2021 06:07PM

  In this case, his past makes a difference for me... (nm)

JamesJM110July 21, 2021 06:35PM

  IMO what we need is not so much Peterson to rip off...
