Jordan Akins Fantasy

Free-agent tight end Jordan Akins is visiting the Cleveland Browns, according to a source. It was impossible to trust any pass-catcher from the Houston Texans last year, but Akins had 37 catches (54 targets), a career-high 495 receiving yards and a career-high five touchdowns in 15 games (three starts) in Houston in 2022 in his fifth year in the league. The Browns already have tight ends David Njoku and Harrison Bryant, though, so he'll be even further from the fantasy radar if he signs in Cleveland. Akins has accumulated 151 catches for 1,755 yards and eight touchdowns on 216 targets in 73 games (26 starts) in his five seasons with the Texas to this point in his career.

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught a pair of touchdowns and the game-winning two-point conversion in Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. He finished the game with four catches for 70 yards and was targeted a team-high eight times. It was a strong showing for Akins, who has looked like Houston's best tight end over the latter part of the season. But despite his strong play to end the year, he's unlikely to be on the fantasy radar when 2023 fantasy drafts start up, based on his overall body of work.

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins found the end zone last week against Kansas City, but he only finished with three catches for 22 yards. He's now finished with under 25 yards in four of the last five games. On Saturday, he faces the Tennessee Titans, who held him to one catch for five yards earlier in the season. Akins is a touchdown-or-bust play in Week 16, and there are probably other players on your wire who have better upside and less downside.
