2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Texans had a deep group at tight end in 2019, but injuries left Akins and Darren Fells as the primary options from Week 1 until the team's playoff loss to the Chiefs. Akins doubled his production in 2019, relative to his rookie 2018 season, in all major fantasy categories and caught the first two touchdowns of his career. He benefited from injuries at wideout which prompted an increase in two-tight-end sets. That might be different in 2020 after Houston added Brandin Cooks and Randall Cobb to a wideout crew that also includes Will Fuller and Kenny Stills. Additionally, the Texans enter training camp with four healthy tight ends. Read Past Outlooks

Lags in targets
Akins caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Akins, who was Houston's third-most targeted receiver in 2020, was sixth among the seven receivers targeted Sunday. He finished the season with 49 targets, 37 passes, 403 yards and one touchdown. Akins emerged as the Texans' primary tight end in 2020 and has one year left on his contract. The makeup of next season's team depends on the whims of what will be a new general manager and head coach, but Akins should return in a fairly significant role in 2021.

Jerry Donabedian reads offseason tea leaves for every NFL team, including an up-and-coming Chargers squad that needs to make tough decisions on Hunter Henry and Mike Williams.

Erik Siegrist previews Week 17 in the NFL as Alex Smith looks to lead Washington to a division title in a win-and-in matchup against the Eagles on Sunday night.

Jerry Donabedian sorts through the Week 17 puzzle and thinks Kareem Hunt could put up big numbers against a Steelers defense likely to rest its stars ahead of the playoffs.

Michael Gallup may have been a fantasy bust in 2020, but his late-season usage and production suggests a 1,000-yard season could be around the corner in 2021.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
With fellow tight ends Jordan Thomas and Kahale Warring (concussion) on IR, Akins figures to see added opportunities in the Texans offense this season. The 2018 third-rounder hauled in 17 passes for 225 yards in 16 games as a rookie and seemed destined to work in a time-share with Thomas this year, but Akins now profiles as the Texans' top pass-catching tight end, while veteran teammates Darren Fells and Logan Paulsen are valued more for their blocking ability.
