Snags two catches in preseason opener
Akins caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Thursday's 28-26 preseason opening loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Houston's entire passing game was stuck in low gear, as the speedy but inaccurate Joe Webb played the entire contest under center. While there isn't much information to be gleaned from Akins' performance in this one, the versatile tight end's ability to line up as a wide receiver makes him an intriguing option, especially since wideout Keke Coutee had to leave the contest with an ankle injury.

More diversity in 2019
Akins is expected to be utilized in several positions in 2019, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Akins lined up as a slot receiver and fullback last season and expects to be used in those positions even more in 2019. "I would say slot receiver," Akins said. "Special teams as well, up-back, punt return as well as fullback. Just moving us around, I think we can create more mismatches. All of our tight ends bring a different set of skills." Akins, last year's third-round draft pick, and 2018 sixth-rounder Jordan Thomas return as the leaders at tight end with 2019 third-rounder Kahale Warring…read more

Sitting second on depth chart
Akins is slotted in as the Texans' second-string tight end behind Jordan Thomas, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The release of Ryan Griffin positioned Akins to battle for a starting job in 2019, but it appears Thomas has pulled ahead of Akins early in the pecking order. On a positive note, Reiss suggests there is a significant gap between Akins and the others below him on the depth chart. A strong showing in the preseason could also boost Akins' standing and offensive reps this season.

Catches 17 passes in 2018
Akins caught 17 passes for 225 yards in 16 games as a rookie in 2018.
Analysis: Akins had a relatively lackluster year as a pass catcher after joining the Texans as a third-round pick in last year's draft. He operated as a No. 3 tight end behind Ryan Griffin and Jordan Thomas for much of the year, which limited his snaps. He could see an uptick in play time in 2019 if he's able to round into form and build on the potential that made him a Day 2 selection in the draft.

Leads Houston tight ends
Akins caught two of his three targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Akins, who led Houston's tight ends in receiving Sunday, received more snaps than fellow rookie Jordan Thomas, something that hadn't happened since Week 4. The position group, which has been largely ignored all season, may take on a higher profile in the coming weeks after Demaryius Thomas suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.

Plays off the line
Akins is capable of playing both slot and wide receiver if the Texans need that. "Jordan's a very versatile guy. There's no doubt about that. Obviously, he's a tight end, but you saw him [Sunday] - he lined up out wide, he lines up in the slot, he lines up in the backfield. Very smart guy, can do a lot of different things," said coach Bill O'Brien.
Analysis: Akins' ability to play off the line of scrimmage could come in handy for the Texans, who are dealing with injuries to Keke Coutee (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (concussion) as they prepare for Week 15 against the Jets on Saturday.

Hauls in pair during loss
Akins caught both of his targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Quarterback Deshaun Watson has increased the use of the tight ends in recent weeks and targeted the three-man group of Akins, Ryan Griffin and Jordan Thomas 11 times in the loss. Houston is dealing with injuries at wideout, which could lead to similar targeting Week 15 against the Jets. Of the three, Griffin leads in targets while Thomas is the touchdown leader.

Targeted once
Akins caught one 13-yard pass during Sunday's 29-13 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Akins has now been targeted seven times over his past four games following just 11 targets in his first eight games. He hasn't been able to produce much during his rookie season, but the Texans have an interesting tight-end room, and all three targets have produced equally modestly, with each producing between 13 and 15 catches and 152 and 203 yards. Akins brings up the rear on both those stats at an already underutilized group. Don't expect that to change Sunday against an average Colts pass…read more

Leading TE target Sunday
Akins did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over Denver.
Analysis: This was the third consecutive game without a reception for Akins, whose 36 snaps on offense were his most since Week 4. With the Texans short at wide receiver, all of Houston's tight ends got significant playing time, and Akins brought up the rear behind Ryan Griffin (47) and Jordan Thomas (39). Akins has received increased playing time of late due to injuries at wideout, but quarterback Deshaun Watson rarely looks his way. His three targets Sunday equaled the number of targets he had over…read more
