Who Should I Start? Cam Akers or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Saturday, October 19, 2:34 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers could be pushed up the depth chart on Sunday if Aaron Jones (hamstring) cannot suit up. Jones is currently listed as questionable and could be a game-time decision. The Vikings traded for Akers from Houston earlier this week, which could suggest that Jones may not be able to play. In Houston, Akers saw work as the lead running back when Joe Mixon (ankle) was sidelined and tallied a modest 9.3 PPR points per game during a three-game stretch. While Ty Chandler will likely see most attempts in Jones' absence, Akers could carve out a solid workload and be a viable desperation flex option in 14+ team formats.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a modest performance in Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tracy led the team in carries with six, totaling 23 rushing yards at a 3.8-yard average, with his longest run going for eight yards. In the passing game, he added three receptions for just nine yards but failed to find the end zone, finishing the day with 4.7 fantasy points. With Devin Singletary back in the lineup, Tracy still handled most of the rushing work but faces a challenging Week 8 matchup against Pittsburgh.
