Jordan Akins Fantasy Overview

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that "there's a chance" he plays both QBs Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe in Saturday's finale vs. the Ravens. QB Jameis Winston continues to work through a shoulder injury and is expected to be the No. 3 QB. Thompson-Robinson has been predictably awful the past two weeks, completing 54% of his passes at 4.0 yards per attempt with 0 TDs and three INTs. Any playing time for Zappe would be good news for Browns pass catchers, although he's no world-beater either. Zappe owns a career 63% completion rate and 6.8 yards per attempt.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. That puts TE Jordan Akins back in the lead role, but he’s not a viable fantasy play with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. That leaves TE Jordan Akins as Cleveland’s lead TE, although he registered underwhelming 53%, 74%, and 40% route rates in the three games Njoku missed earlier this season. Akins totaled six catches on 10 targets for 49 scoreless yards over those three games. Look elsewhere in season-long lineups.

Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He didn’t practice all week, but both HC Kevin Stefanski and Njoku said Friday that he still has a chance to play. We’ll look for further updates on Njoku’s status and get Cleveland’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. He’ll obviously carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he plays. If not, Jordan Akins would step in as the Browns’ lead TE and be a desperation fantasy option.
