Cam Akers has been increasingly involved in the Vikings' game plan, delivering his second-highest fantasy score of the season. Although he remains behind Aaron Jones in the depth chart, Akers scored the only rushing touchdown for the Vikings, indicating his potential as a key player. As fantasy managers prepare for the playoffs, Akers is a valuable stash, especially if anything were to happen to Jones, making him a must-add in more leagues.

Cam Akers contributed to the Vikings' scoring with a 3-yard touchdown reception from Sam Darnold, helping to extend Minnesota's lead to 23-10 late in the third quarter.

Cam Akers had a solid performance in Week 10, carrying the ball 13 times in a win against the Jaguars. However, his future workload is uncertain, as it was a favorable matchup and lead back Aaron Jones received 17 carries. Akers is not a reliable start moving forward and is considered a low-upside option.

Akers has fully supplanted Ty Chandler as Aaron Jones’ backup, out-snapping him 26-12 and out-carrying him 13-4. With Jones returning from a chest injury, the Vikings may look to ease his workload, which could position Akers for a starting role if any injury issues arise.
