Jordan Akins

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins brought in three of his four targets for 38 yards in their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday evening. Akins has now seen at least four targets in each contest with Jameis Winston under center. Despite operating as the No. 2 tight end behind David Njoku, Akins is still showing some fantasy relevance, even in a reserve role. His longest reception of the evening came for 18 yards. Fantasy managers in deeper 14+ team formats should continue ... [Read More]

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins finds himself as the only healthy tight end on the active 53-man roster heading into Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after starting TE David Njoku (ankle) has already been ruled out due to an ankle injury he sustained in the Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

He's a streaming TE2 play, assuming you believe that his usage this week is a reflection of who new starting QB Kyle Allen intends to target the most. [Read More]

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins could be a sneaky play in deep leagues or DFS this week against the Titans, who allow the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL. He's seen at least two targets in four consecutive games, and last week he caught three passes for a team-high 68 yards. It's hard to ever trust a Texans tight end, but with wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) not expected to play, someone has to catch some passes, right? [Read More]
