We’ve never seen a RB return to RB1 status from an Achilles rupture.
Best comparison (besides Marlon Mack) is Mikal Leshoure, who tore his at 21y/o and returned to 798/9 TDS and 34 rec for 214 yards.
Leshoure was replaced by Reggie Bush due to lack of explosion the next year.

This absolutely sucks for Cam Akers. I feel for him and his family and there is good evidence that he WILL return from the injury, but any advice to acquire him in dynasty right now is ignoring all evidence we have about this injury and his expected production.
Is Akers the exception?
TECHNICALLY we don’t know until we see it, but he’d be the first RB example in the history of the NFL to return to an elite level.
We went through this with other, less talented, RBs. Anyone remember D’onta Foreman? Same medical technology/protocols…

We will see what happens with Marlon Mack this year, but again the data all points to this being catastrophic.
I wish Akers the best of luck in his recovery, I really do hope he IS the exception, but I won’t be trying to acquire him in dynasty and you shouldn’t either.
