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

Two targets Saturday
Akins caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Akins has played the first quarters of both preseason games and caught all four targets for 40 yards. He's expected to serve as the top backup to David Njoku, while Zaire Mitchell-Paden and Giovanni Ricci (knee) battle for the third spot.

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

Optimistic about role in 2022
Akins believes the Giants' coaching staff will present him and New York's other tight ends with plenty of opportunities to make plays, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.
ANALYSIS
Akins points out that both head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka come from offenses that liked to get the tight end involved as a downfield threat rather than just a check down option. Daboll did so with Dawson Knox in Buffalo, while Kafka was an assistant on a Chiefs offense that heavily utilized tight end Travis Kelce.
