AKERS ADDED (AGAIN) BY MINNESOTA

The Minnesota Vikings acquired running back Cam Akers and a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2026 from the Houston Texans for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2026.

What does it give the Minnesota Vikings
With Aaron Jones hurt, Minnesota decided to bring back Cam Akers, a running back they are quite familiar with. It is a solid depth move that did not cost much.

What does it give the Houston Texans
The Texans had Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale ahead of Akers on the depth chart. Therefore, they could afford to move Akers at this time.

Fantasy impact
Akers could be a better fantasy option as a No. 2 running back in Minnesota than as a depth player in Houston. Pick him up.
