Jordan Akins - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Loses playing time Week 4 Akins caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Akins filled in for starter David Njoku (ankle) for a third consecutive game, but he was given the fewest number of snaps of those three contests. Blake Whiteheart (21 snaps) and Geoff Swaim (24) shared the load at tight end. Aikens has nine receptions on 14 targets for 76 yards over the first four games.

Likely to start again in Week 4 Akins is expected to again operate as Cleveland's top tight end Sunday against the Raiders, as David Njoku (ankle) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game.

Impact Akins set season-bests in last week's loss to the Giants, parlaying 67 percent of the offensive snaps into a 4-29-0 receiving line on seven targets. The veteran tight end has eight catches for 66 scoreless yards on 12 targets through three games but hasn't shown much of a ceiling for fantasy purposes. He looks like a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet versus Las Vegas.

Four catches in Week 3 loss Akins caught four of seven targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

Impact Akins tied Jerry Jeudy for second on the team in targets, five behind Amari Cooper's team-leading 12. David Njoku (ankle) has missed Cleveland's last two games, but Akins has just 39 yards over that pair of contests while filling in atop the tight end depth chart. If Njoku's ready to return against the Raiders in Week 4, Akins would fade back into obscurity.

Set to remain starter Week 3 Akins is set to operate as Cleveland's top tight end again Sunday against the Giants, as David Njoku (ankle) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game.

Impact Akins had just one target and actually handled a lower snap share (49 percent) in Njoku's absence Week 2 than he did in the season opener, when Njoku exited early and Akins proceeded to catch three of four targets for 27 yards while playing 57 percent of snaps on offense. Blake Whiteheart was elevated from the practice squad to provide depth behind Akins last week, and Whiteheart could be elevated again for Sunday's game.

Targeted once in win Akins caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over Jacksonville in Week 2.

Impact Akins drew the start at tight end with David Njoku (ankle) in week-to-week mode. The Browns elevated Blake Whiteheart from the practice squad for the game, and he played 24 snaps behind Akins (35 snaps), who has caught four of five targets for 37 yards through two weeks. While a healthy Njoku is a key part of the passing attack, Akins is not expected to fill that role while the No. 1 tight end is sidelined.

Impact Akins drew the start at tight end with David Njoku (ankle) sidelined. The Browns elevated Blake Whiteheart from the practice squad for the game, and he played 24 snaps behind Akins (35 snaps). Akins has caught four of five targets for 37 yards through two weeks. While a healthy Njoku is a key part of the passing attack -- he was targeted five times before leaving Week 1's loss to the Cowboys -- Akins is not expected to see that level of volume even as a starter.

Jordan Akins prepared to step into larger role in Week 2 With TE David Njoku out for Week 2, Akins could see more reps at tight end against the Jaguars

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • CLEVELANDBROWNS.COM

Set for TE1 duties Week 2 Akins is the only healthy tight end on the Browns' roster heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact David Njoku (ankle) is week-to-week after hurting his ankle in the 33-17 Week 1 loss to Dallas, and he has already been ruled out against Jacksonville. Akins filled in capably after Njoku got hurt, finishing the season opener with three catches for four targets on 27 yards. The Browns will likely elevate at least one of Geoff Swaim, Cameron Latu or Blake Whitehurst from the practice squad to provide depth behind Akins.

Snap leader at TE Akins caught three of four targets for 27 yards and had a position-high 43 snaps in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The Browns had just two tight ends rostered and were down to Akins when starter David Njoku (ankle) was taken off the field in the third quarter. Njoku will undergo tests Monday to determine the severity of the injury, the results of which could alter Akins' value moving forward. The Browns currently have two tight ends on the practice squad, Cameron Latu and Blake Whiteheart, neither of whom have significant NFL experience.

Two targets Saturday Akins caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota.

Impact Akins has played the first quarters of both preseason games and caught all four targets (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.
