Seven catches Week 2 Akins had a career-high seven catches on seven targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Akins has been a surprise through the first two weeks. After scoring a touchdown Week 1, he finished second in targets behind Brandin Cook in Week 2. He's caught all nine targets through two weeks while doubling the playing time of Darren Fells, who entered training camp as the lead tight end and scored Houston's lone touchdown Sunday. The usage may be a function of the Texans playing from behind, but Akins is emerging as a go-to option for quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Scores in Week 1 loss Akins caught two of two targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1.

Impact Akins had more snaps (48) than Darren Fells (25) and shined on his two receptions. His first resulted in a first down after he piled on 15 yards after the catch, showing elusiveness and tackle-breaking ability. Then he got separation and easily snagged a dart from Deshaun Watson for a 19-yard touchdown. Fells was the leader at tight end in 2019, but Akins has the early edge in 2020.

More consistency Houston offensive coordinator Tim Kelly noted the improved consistency Akins has shown in preparation for his third NFL season.

Impact Darren Fells is the expected starter at tight end with Akins part of a bunch looking to be the primary backup. "Jordan's become a more consistent player," said Kelly. "So, looking at the jump that he's made from year two to year three, he's been more consistent, has come in every day and has really made, basically, a big play a day for us as we've gone through this camp. The one thing that's shown that he's definitely improved on has been his consistency." Akins flashed as the second-string tight end in 2019 when he caught 36 passes with an 11.6 YPG and two touchdowns. Jordan Thomas, Kahale Warring and Dylan Stapleton are also in the mix.
