Cam Akers

The unprecedented health among running backs this season has us dragging the ocean floor on waivers. Cam Akers bailed us out with a touchdown reception on Sunday to crack double digits in PPR scoring. Minnesota has gone more pass-heavy than earlier in the season, making it difficult to justify starting Akers or even Aaron Jones. Since Sam Darnold has also seen a spike in turnover-worthy plays during this stretch, expect Kevin O'Connell to push for a course correction. Akers might be the only available running back who isn't going to face elite run defenses over the next three games.

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.
