Draft note

by John Paulsen

Akins enters his third season as a 28-year-old former baseball player. He caught 36-of-55 targets for 418 yards and two scores, but there are reasons to believe that he may make a leap in his third year. He led all Houston tight ends in routes run (390) and ran the 10th most routes among all tight ends last year. Given his snap rate (61%), it’s an indicator that the team views him mainly as a receiver. He was fourth among tight ends in yards after the catch per reception and third among tight ends in average YAC above expectations, per NFL’s Next Gen Stats. With the loss of DeAndre Hopkins, Akins should play a larger role in the passing game, especially with Darren Fells another year older. Akins could see competition from second-year player Kahale Warring, but after a lost-rookie season it’s doubtful that he’ll be able to eat into Akins’ snaps.

How WR Will Fuller suspension will affect Texans offense

Houston Chronicle

Dec 01, 2020 · 2:44 PM EST

Without Will Fuller, who had a career-high 58 catches for 879 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games this season, the only receivers on the active roster with receptions this season are Brandin Cooks (52) and Keke Coutee (6). Randall Cobb is on injured reserve and is out for at least two more games with a toe injury. The Texans released Kenny Stills on Friday, a day after Fuller had a career day with six catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns on Thanksgiving.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say: the suspension could force rookie Coulter onto the field for the first time after he was drafted in the fifth round out of Rhode Island. The Texans also will use running back Duke Johnson a lot more in the passing game and throw more often to tight ends Akins, Fells and Brown. The Texans also have some receiver options on the practice squad, including former Texas A&M wideout Ratley. Some things to note is the potential rise of Coutee who now finds himself as a possible WR2. Also, it looks like Duke Johnson will have a role even when David Johnson returns.

HOU TE Jordan Akins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Tennessee Titans
In the loss to Cincinnati last week, Jordan Akins finished with four receptions for 39 yards. He has posted more than 50 yards just twice this season and hasn’t scored since the opener. Akins missed the October battle against Tennessee in October and doesn’t make for a good fantasy start in the rematch.
