In their young careers, both Akers and Henderson are already showing a real propensity to get banged up, and neither seems particularly well built physically to be a bell cow like Gurley was. I think running back by committee suits this group perfectly. Keep them both healthy and fresh, and ride the hot hand. They also compliment each other well, with Henderson having breakaway speed that Akers does not.
I am surprised so many are writing off Henderson just because he has been quiet for a few weeks. He was incredible early this season, and justifiably, among the NFL's top graded RBs by PFF at that point. Sadly, he's been knicked up since. Hopefully, this group can stay healthy. Other than durability concerns, I really like this RB cadre.
