INJURIES

Trending toward playing Akers, who is listed as questionable for Monday's wild-card contest against the Rams with an illness, is expected to play, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact It appears as if there's a bug going around in the Vikings backfield as Aaron Jones was also limited in practice this week due to an illness. In any case, Akers is likely going to reprise his role as the backup to Jones in the playoff matchup Monday night. Expect official confirmation to occur ahead of the 8:00 p.m. kickoff.

Vikings appreciate Cam Akers as a backup running back so much they traded for him twice

The Minnesota Vikings have a strong sense of appreciation for Cam Akers

Efficient in loss to Detroit Akers rushed six times for 65 yards during Sunday's 31-9 loss to the Lions. He also secured both of his targets for four yards.
Impact Akers played his usual No. 2 backfield role behind Aaron Jones on the road at Detroit, a game in which he logged his first breakaway run of 40-plus yards on the season. Across 12 regular-season games with Minnesota, he has logged 64 carries for 297 yards (4.6 YPC) and one touchdown, while securing 10 of 11 targets for 52 yards and two scores. He also appeared in five games with the Texans. Akers will continue working as Jones' backup during Monday's wild-card round matchup against the Rams.

Hits pay dirt in win Akers rushed six times for 18 yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers.
Impact Akers' touchdown was his third receiving score of the season and fifth total trip to the end zone this season. The veteran running back saw an increase in playing time Sunday, as teammate Aaron Jones (quad) was pulled out of the game out of caution and missed the entire fourth quarter. Akers may be thrown into a starting role in Week 18 if Jones is unable to suit up, but it appears Jones has a realistic chance to play in the season finale, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Next up for the Vikings is a matchup with the Lions to decide the NFC North and the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Has 37 yards rushing in win Akers had five carries for 37 yards in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
Impact Akers played on 19 of the offense's 60 snaps. Aaron Jones had 15 touches and played on 38 snaps. Jones shook off his recent fumble issues and got the bulk of the workload, but Akers remains a factor to give him rest.
DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Gets just four touches in win Akers had four carries for 22 yards in Sunday's win over Arizona.
Impact Akers played on 16 of the offense's 53 snaps while Ty Chandler played on five snaps. Starting running back Aaron Jones played on 28 snaps but fumbled on twice on eight touches. Akers could split more of the workload if Jones' fumbles are viewed as due to fatigue.
DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Falls back to four touches Sunday Akers totaled three carries for 19 yards and one catch (on one target) for six yards during Sunday's 30-27 win at Chicago.
Impact Akers has been a part of the Vikings offense in four consecutive contests, but his touch count Sunday was a fewest during that stretch after earning 14 in Week 10 at Jacksonville and 12 last Sunday in Tennessee. The elevated usage for Akers in the previous two games may have been spurred by the rib injury that Aaron Jones suffered in the first of those outings, but the latter racked up 25 touches for 129 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD in Week 12, indicating he's more or less back to his status as Minnesota's unquestioned top RB. As a result, Akers could be relegated to a distant No. 2 option behind Jones moving forward.
NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Another 12 touches in Week 11 Akers tallied 10 carries for 25 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 11 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-13 victory in Tennessee.
Impact Akers now has back-to-back games with double-digit touches, but his yardage tallies in those outings have left fantasy managers wanting (14 for 47 yards from scrimmage Week 10 at Jacksonville, 12 for 36 total yards Week 11). On a positive note, he scored his first TD since Week 5 as a member of the Texans from three yards out late in the third quarter. The Vikings' lead runner Aaron Jones didn't fare much better (16 touches for 43 total yards), which may stem from the rib issue that he sustained against the Jaguars last weekend. In any case, Akers appears as if he's carved out a regular role in Minnesota's offense, at least in the short term.

Gets 13 carries in win Akers has 13 carries for 38 yards and one reception for nine yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.
Impact Akers played on 26 of the offense's 84 snaps as he got extra playing time late in the game when Aaron Jones missed time with sore ribs. It sounds like Jones won't miss time with the injury, but he could be limited or the Vikings may want to play it safe with his usage this week at Tennessee. Akers could be set for more work as a result.
