Jordan Akins Fantasy

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught all four of his targets for 39 receiving yards in a losing effort. Akins has seen his involvement in the passing game trend upward over the last three contests, with 16 targets in that span. However, Darren Fells and Pharaoh Brown have continued to cut into his snaps- with Fells snatching a potential touchdown away from Akins. Still, the 28-year-old has definitely carved out a role in the offense and will look to remain involved in a favorable matchup with the Titans.

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has been an inconsistent fantasy option this season. He has compiled over 50 receiving yards in just three of 11 games this season, showing how risky it's been to trust him in fantasy lineups. However, Akins is coming off a solid 5-50-0 line against the Colts and gets a Bengals' defense that has surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points per game to enemy tight ends over the last four weeks. Akins' floor is essentially a no-catch game but is a streaming option this week in a favorable matchup.

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught five of six targets for 50 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Colts. Akins did drop a pass, though other than that, he was perfect on the day. He showed some big-play ability on a 20-yard reception, then operated as a short-yardage target, considering how much pressure quarterback Deshaun Watson was under. It's been tricky to count on Akins, as this was just his third game all year with at least 50 receiving yards. Still, the Houston offense is pass-happy- and a favorable matchup awaits against the Bengals in Week 16.
