Jordan Akins Fantasy

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has been mostly an afterthought ever since his two-touchdown game in Week 3, but on Sunday against the Broncos he finally found something, catching four passes for 49 yards. His nine targets were his most of the year. Akins is a better receiving option everywhere but the red zone than fellow Texans tight end Darren Fells is, though it's unlikely Sunday's performance really turns out to be indicative of anything. Go ahead and leave Akins on waivers.

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins pulled in three receptions for 39 yards on Sunday against the Chiefs. With DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller getting the majority of looks from quarterback Deshaun Watson throughout the season, Akins continues to be virtually an afterthought as he received fewer targets than fellow tight end Darren Fells, who finished with seven on the day. Akins still has value in deeper formats, but his success is dependent on whether he can find the end zone, while also hinging on the health of Fells moving ahead.

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins had two touchdown receptions in Week 3. He then had three catches for 21 yards against the Panthers in Week 4 and now faces a Falcons team that's allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. The Falcons haven't given up a single touchdown to a tight end. Akins had one really good game, but it's clear that isn't the norm for him. Keep him out of your lineups.
