Cam Akers – Out for Season with torn Achilles

November 6, 2023

Cam Akers suffered the second torn Achilles of his career in Minnesota’s week 9 win against the Falcons and will miss the remainder of the season.

Analysis

Just when Akers was starting to emerge back to fantasy relevance, his season is now over after suffering a torn left Achilles in week 9. After tearing his right Achilles with the Rams back in 2021, Akers is no stranger to recovering from this injury. Doctors still consider suffering a second Achilles tear to be career-threatening even with the previous tear happening to his other leg.

 

Alexander Mattison reclaims his role as the unquestioned starter with Akers’ injury. Ty Chandler is expected to be the RB2 for the Vikings going forward. While they haven’t given up on him yet, the Vikings have every reason to look for other options after Mattison has averaged a miserable 3.5 ypc this season. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should add Ty Chandler and wait to see how this backfield shakes out over the next few weeks.
