2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Browns moved on from Harrison Bryant, creating an opportunity for Akins, who had his worst season statistically in 2023. Prospects for him to improve are limited. David Njoku, who broke out in 2023, is the clear No. 1 option at tight end, and the Browns are focused on creating a wideout corps that can make use of quarterback Deshaun Watson's downfield proclivities. Akins, who has history with Watson in Houston, entered the summer season as the No. 2 TE, but it feels like the Browns could add another veteran. They did that already by signing Giovanni Ricci (formerly Carolina), a blocking tight end who can line up at fullback if needed. Read Past Outlooks
Four targets in loss
Akins caught one of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints in Week 11.
ANALYSIS
Akins, who had two red-zone targets, was caught up in an offense that finished with 47 passing attempts. It was the third consecutive week the Browns have aired it out more than 40 times and the second straight week with four targets for Akins, who has four red-zone targets this season. He's not about to challenge the team's top targets, but all that volume could lead to a red-zone score.

Lost amid a hectic offseason of target upgrades was the Browns adding Akins, who previously worked with QB Deshaun Watson when the two were with Houston. Ironically, his best year was 2022 when Akins had Davis Mills throwing him passes. Akins wasn't with the Texans 'organization in the preseason but rejoined his former team on its practice squad and finished with a team-high five TDs. While relinking with Watson is a good thing, the situation is different. There weren't many threats in a discombobulated offense last year, but Akins joins an outfit teeming with quality receivers and will back up David Njoku.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Week 2 start
Akins is the only healthy tight end on the Browns' roster heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars, as David Njoku has been ruled out due to an ankle injury, per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal.
ANALYSIS
Akins had three catches for 27 yards on four targets in the season opener, during which Njoku sustained the injury. Njoku is considered week-to-week and may miss additional game action beyone Week 2. The Browns will likely elevate at least one of Geoff Swaim, Cameron Latu or Blake Whiteheart from the practice squad to join Akins on the gameday roster.
