Vikings QB Sam Darnold, RB Aaron Jones off injury report ahead of Week 11

Vikings QB Sam Darnold (right hand), RB Aaron Jones (ribs) and LT Cam Robinson (foot) are all off the injury report and good to go vs. the Titans.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Ty Chandler

Fantasy Impact:

With Jones fully off the injury report, he can be considered an RB2 in Week 11, while Darnold should be benched in place of a QB streamer in almost all formats.

Vikings trade for RB Cam Akers

Trade! The Texans are sending RB Cam Akers to the Vikings, sources say.

Fantasy Impact:

Houston gets a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick in exchange for Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick. Of course, it’s a reunion for Akers and Minnesota, which also traded for him last season, the story pointed out. The worry now is maybe Jones, who was injured (hip) before the Vikings bye week, isn't fully healthy just yet, despite being able to practice so far this week. However, the Vikings, who sit at 5-0 so far this season, may just want more RB depth behind Jones and Chandler. As for the Texans, Mixon and Pierce look to be healthy again, and with the emergence of Ogunbowale over the last couple of weeks, Akers became expendable.

Texans RB Joe Mixon practices for second straight day, trending toward playing Week 6

Beautiful day for football .

RB Joe Mixon is practicing for the second consecutive day. Another positive step in the right direction for Sunday.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon was on a tear before an ankle injury sidelined him in Week 2, and should he return fully healthy this week, it's hard to keep him out of RB1 territory. The rest of the backfield would turn into huge desperation plays in deep leagues.

Texans RB Joe Mixon returns to practice Thursday

Texans RB Joe Mixon is practicing today. He’s back.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

This is nothing concrete yet —we'll know more after Friday's practice— but it's certainly a good sign. If he's a full go for Week 6 it makes the rest of the backfield an afterthought while Mixon would be a high-end RB2 (at least) once again.
