Cam Akers A Risky Option In Week 8

Cam Akers A Risky Option In Week 8

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers will look to build on his best performance with his new team in Week 8 as the Vikings visit the Packers. Akers handled 10 carries for 31 yards and caught two passes for 30 yards in the team's upset victory over the 49ers in Week 7. It is yet to be seen if the plan is for Akers and Alexander Mattison to continue evenly splitting touches in the Minnesota backfield, but Akers out-touching Mattison in a positive game script seems like something worth monitoring for fantasy managers. The former Los Angeles Ram could be on the FLEX radar if his workload from last week becomes a trend, but the presence of Mattison will most likely cap his upside.
