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.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 21 of 34 passes for 194 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, adding five carries for three yards during the team's 21-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old kept the pressure on the No. 1 seeded 49ers until the game's final minute, where he tossed a game-ending interception. While Love was not incredible in the box score Saturday night, it does not take away from his fantastic season as a first-year starter. No one gave the Packers a shot to do much of anything this year, and they took one of the top three teams in the league to the limit in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. After finishing as a top-10 fantasy quarterback and a strong end to the regular season, Love will be one of the most interesting quarterbacks to watch in terms of draft value heading into the 2024 regular season.
