Cam Akers
RB - Minnesota Vikings
Availability
Cam Akers rushed for 25 yards on 10 carries in the Vikings 23-13 win over the Titans. He caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy Impact
Akers found the end zone on a three-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. The touchdown reception saved his fantasy day considering Akers struggled to get anything going on the ground. Akers and the Vikings will take on Bears in Week 12.
Cam Akers carried the ball 13 times for 38 yards and added a nine-yard catch in a 12-7 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
Akers saw some extra work with Aaron Jones (chest) missing time during the second half after a chest injury. Akers would presumably see an uptick in work in Week 11 against the Titans if Jones is ultimately limited or unable to play. Fantasy managers should eye Akers as a solid waiver addition this coming week.
Cam Akers rushed the ball six times for 46 yards and caught two passes for seven yards in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy Impact
Akers had limited opportunities on Sunday and recorded just eight touches on the night, but he looked good when he got the ball. He rushed the ball at a clip of 7.7 yards per carry and looked explosive, and it's quite possible that he has earned more touches for himself moving forward. He's unlikely to be a reliable fantasy option at any point for as long as Aaron Jones remains healthy for the Vikings.
The Houston Texans have traded Cam Akers to the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Akers had seen a couple of starts for the Texans with Joe Mixon missing time. The Vikings also traded for Akers last season. He'll add depth in their backfield alongside Ty Chandler with Aaron Jones banged up.
Cam Akers rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown in nine carries in the Texans 23-20 win over the Bills. He caught 2-of-3 targets for five yards.
Fantasy Impact
Akers found the end zone on a 15-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to give Houston the lead. With Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce close to returning, Akers will likely see his playing time dip soon. Akers and the Texans will take on the Patriots in Week 6.
