Jordan Akins News
Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins (leg) is missing his second straight day of training camp practice on Saturday with his leg in a sleeve. Akins has reunited with quarterback Deshaun Watson after the two played together with the Houston Texans, but he's currently not able to practice due to injury. The 31-year-old is excited about the opportunity to work with Watson again, but he's going to struggle for consistent targets alongside both starter David Njoku and Harrison Bryant. At best, the big-bodied tight end could serve as a touchdown-dependent TE2 in the deepest of fantasy leagues in 2023. He would only become attractive in shallower leagues if Njoku misses time with an injury.
Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins will be behind David Njoku on the tight end depth chart in 2023, but Akins has pre-established chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson and expects to have a bigger role than what he had the last five years with the Houston Texans. Akins caught 90 of 129 targets for 1,046 yards and three touchdowns in three years with Watson in Houston, when he wasn't the No. 1 tight end. The 31-year-old led the Texans with five TDs in 2022 and had a career-high 495 receiving yards. Akins is excited about working with Watson again and also having a different route tree in a new offense. However, unless Njoku misses time with an injury, Akins is probably going to be off the fantasy radar, especially with Harrison Bryant also around.
Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins chose to sign with Cleveland this offseason mainly because it would give him another chance to work with a quarterback he already knew in Deshaun Watson. Akins played his first three NFL seasons with Watson in Houston and enjoyed catching passes from him. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder will give Watson another big tight end who can be a weapon in the red zone, and Akins is coming off his best season with five touchdowns for the Texans. While working with Watson in Houston, Akins caught 90 passes for 1,046 yards and three TDs in three years. The 31-year-old's familiarity with Watson is a plus, but unless David Njoku misses time with an injury in 2023, Akins won't have a ton of fantasy appeal.
