Jordan Akins

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught three passes for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was targeted six times, the second-most of any Texans player. In a tight end landscape where there are not a lot of consistent streaming options, Akins has some appeal because the Texans are lacking in pass-catchers right now, but he has just three games all season with over 50 receiving yards, so you'll have to live with the lows being low, even if he has two ...

While it's good to see Akins have a nice game, his track record suggests that fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to be replicable, so go ahead and leave Akins on the waiver wire. [Read More]

The Houston Texans signed tight end Jordan Akins to their 53-man roster from their practice squad on Wednesday, according to his agents. The Texans recently cut Pharaoh Brown and Brevin Jordan (ankle) has missed the last couple of games due to injury. In three games active in 2022 in Weeks 3 through 5, Akins has caught seven of his eight targets for 86 yards and a touchdown.
