  • Seven catches in Week 2

    Akins had a career-high seven catches on seven targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Akins has been a surprise through the first two weeks. After scoring a touchdown Week 1, he finished second in targets behind Brandin Cooks in Week 2. He's caught all nine of his targets through two weeks while doubling the playing time of Darren Fells, who entered training camp as the presumptive No. 1 tight end and scored Houston's lone touchdown Sunday. That usage may be a function of the Texans playing from behind a lot, but Akins is emerging as a go-to option for quarterback Deshaun Watson.

  • Scores in Week 1 loss

    Akins caught two of two targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1.

    Analysis: Akins had more snaps (48) than Darren Fells (25) and shined on his two receptions. His first resulted in a first down after he piled on 15 yards after the catch, showing elusiveness and tackle-breaking ability. Then he got separation and easily snagged a dart from Deshaun Watson for a 19-yard touchdown. Fells was the leader at tight end in 2019, but Akins has the early edge in 2020.

  • More consistency

    Houston offensive coordinator Tim Kelly noted the improved consistency Akins has shown in preparation for his third NFL season.

    Analysis: Darren Fells is the expected starter at tight end with Akins part of a bunch looking to be the primary backup. "Jordan's become a more consistent player," said Kelly. "So, looking at the jump that he's made from year two to year three, he's been more consistent, has come in every day and has really made, basically, a big play a day for us as we've gone through this camp. The one thing that's shown that he's definitely improved on has been his consistency." Akins flashed as the second-string…read more

  • Gets work in with QB

    Akins has been working out with quarterback Deshaun Watson, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Akins finished up last season with a hamstring injury and missed the Texans' postseason loss to the Chiefs, so his work with Watson means he's well past the injury. He's coming off a second NFL season that was more productive than his first, but the 28-year-old tight end faces a crowded position group in 2020. Darren Fells is still around as the lead tight end while Akins battles it out with Jordan Thomas and Kahale Warring.

  • Sidelined Sunday

    Akins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional-round game at Kansas City.

    Analysis: After being limited in practice all week, Akins was listed as questionable for this contest Friday but ended up not making the trip north at all. His absence will leave Darren Fells (hip) and Jordan Thomas as the Texans' available tight ends.

  • Listed as questionable this week

    Akins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's playoff game against the Chiefs after being limited at practice this week.

    Analysis: Fellow tight end Darren Fells (hip) is also listed as questionable for the contest after being added to the Texans' injury report Friday. At this stage, both profile as speculative fantasy options this week, but as Sunday's kickoff approaches, if it becomes clear that one of the two will sit, while the other plays, there would be a degree of streaming appeal in DFS contests for the active option.

  • Logs another limited practice

    Akins (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Back-to-back practices, albeit in a limited capacity, offer hope that Akins can return to action Sunday against the Chiefs after missing last weekend's wild-card triumph over the Bills. If he remains out or limited, however, Darren Fells once again would see added tight end snaps and targets versus Kansas City.

  • Limited by hamstring issue

    Akins (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Akins missed last weekend's wild-card win over the Bills with the injury, so he's not a lock to return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. If he's limited or remains out in Kansas City, Darren Fells would once again be in line for added snaps and targets at tight end.

  • Won't play Saturday

    Akins (hamstring) is inactive for Saturday's playoff game against the Bills.

    Analysis: With Akins sidelined, Darren Fells will serve as the Texans' primary tight end Saturday, with Jordan Thomas a candidate to see added work in the team's offense as well.

  • Added to injury report as questionable

    Akins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the Bills after logging a limited practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Akins was just added to the Texans' injury report Thursday, so it appears as though the tight end may have suffered an in-practice setback. If he's limited, or out, this weekend, added snaps/targets would be available for Darren Fells as well as Jordan Thomas.

  • Records five receptions

    Akins hauled in five of seven targets for 54 yards in the team's Week 17 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Akins worked as the team's primary tight end and hauled in a season-best five receptions. With this performance, he closed the regular season with 36 receptions and 418 yards. Both represent significant improvements over his marks from his rookie season, and he could be in line to take another step forward as current top tight end Darren Fells is set to hit free agency. In the immediate future, Akins will look to help the team earn a first-round playoff win against Buffalo.

  • Two targets in win

    Akins failed to catch any of his two targets in Saturday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay in Week 16.

    Analysis: Both of his targets were inside the red zone, but the Texans failed to execute when getting near the Buccaneers' goal. After a big nine-target game Week 14 against the Broncos, Akins has just four targets and two catches for seven yards in the two games since. He has as many targets (48) and three fewer catches (31) than starter Darren Fells, but he has only two touchdowns, both coming in Week 3.

  • Lower volume in Week 15

    Akins caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over Tennessee.

    Analysis: One week after being targeted nine times, the tight end dropped back to two targets in Week 15, as quarterback Deshaun Watson primary looked to his wide receivers. Akins and Darren Fells were targeted just four times combined, and none of those looks came in the red zone. Akins leads the position group with 46 targets and 364 yards and is tied with Fells with 31 receptions.

  • Second-most targets Week 14

    Akins caught four of nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 38-24 loss to Denver in Week 14.

    Analysis: With Will Fuller (hamstring) sidelined, opportunities became available for other receivers. Surprisingly, it was Akins that benefited the most on a day when Deshaun Watson threw a season-high 50 times. Akins' nine targets were a season high and the second-most on the team behind only DeAndre Hopkins (13).

  • Good to go Week 14

    Akins (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Akins popped up on the Texans' injury report after practicing in a limited fashion Thursday, but he upgraded to full participation during Friday's session. His ability to take every rep in the final practice of the week likely means he won't face any restrictions Sunday, so expect Akins to once again split the tight-end snaps with Darren Fells, as is typically the case.

  • Added to injury report Thursday

    Akins (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Akins was a Thursday addition to Houston's injury report, so those considering the tight end in deeper formats this week will want to check back on his status Friday. Akins and Darren Fells have operated in time-share this season, but while the duo's catch/yardage numbers are similar, Fells has been the more productive fantasy option, having notched seven TDs to Akins' total of two through 12 games. The return of Jordan Thomas from injury two weeks ago could further impact Akins' fantasy value,…read more

  • Picks up 19 yards

    Akins caught his only target for a 19-yard gain during Sunday's 28-22 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Akins was targeted only once for just the second time this season, and he caught a single pass for the second time in three weeks. The UCF product, and the Texans' tight end room in general, saw a slight dip from what was already middle-of-the-road production with Will Fuller back in the fold last week. Next up is Denver's fifth-ranked pass defense, though the Broncos have been so-so against tight ends this season.

  • Leading TE target Thursday

    Akins caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Colts in Week 12.

    Analysis: Akins had more targets than starter Darren Fells for just the third time this season, and it was the ninth time in 11 games he's finished with fewer than 30 yards. Tight end value is closely linked to red-zone opportunities, and, in that respect, Fells (10) holds the advantage over Akins (five). Both players face more competition for snaps now that Jordan Thomas is healthy.

  • One catch in loss

    Akins caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 41-7 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: As the score suggests, the Texans were behind early and never got close. There wasn't even the garbage-time statistical padding that sometimes comes with a blowout loss. Akins, who has only one game with more than 39 yards, is averaging 26.3 yards per game.

  • Sets career marks

    Akins caught all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Akins now has new career highs in receptions (20), targets (28) yards, receiving yards (248) and touchdowns (two), with at least seven more games to build on those numbers. Unfortunately, this usage has led to only two touchdowns, both scored in a Week 3 win over the Chargers. While both Texans tight ends are getting more opportunities relative to last season, Akins clearly sits behind Darren Fells in terms of touchdowns and red-zone targets.
