Dynasty | The Vikings did not extend a contract offer to running back Cam Akers, making him a free agent. Dynasty Analysis: Akers' career has taken a nosedive as injuries have essentially robbed him of a lot of his explosiveness. After a good run in Los Angeles, he just couldn't make it work in Minnesota. With Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler leading the way now, the Vikings just didn't have room on their roster for him. Akers will try to latch on somewhere but his dynasty value (and career) seems to be hanging by a thread.
The Minnesota Vikings declined to offer a restricted free-agent tender to running back Cam Akers (Achilles), meaning he is a free agent and can negotiate freely with any team. The former second-round pick was an exciting prospect out of Florida State in 2020 but after two Achilles tears in four years in the NFL, his career has struggled to get off the ground. Akers was traded to the Vikings from the Los Angeles Rams early in the 2023 campaign and rushed 38 times for 138 yards and one touchdown before suffering a major Achilles injury. The 24-year-old might get a chance to play elsewhere, but it'll likely be on a cheap, one-year deal. For now, he remains far from the fantasy radar. The majority of skill players do not recover well from an Achilles tear, never mind two.
