Cam Akers A Low-Floor Fantasy Option Vs. Arizona
1 month agoMinnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers shouldn't be relied on as a viable source of fantasy output this Sunday when he takes on the Arizona Cardinals. Akers looked like he was trending toward commanding a larger share of the workload, but it appeared to be for just a few games as backfield mate Aaron Jones battled through an injury. Last week, in the team's win over the Chicago Bears, Jones garnered all but four of Minnesota's 29 backfield touches. The lead back is again primed for another productive day against a Cardinals squad letting up 24.6 fantasy points per game to running backs -- the tenth-most in the league. With Jones back to dominating touches in the Vikings' offense, the 25-year-old is again relegated to handcuff or deep-league-stash status. Akers is RotoBaller's PPR RB51 in this week's rankings.
