Instant Fantasy Analysis - TE Jordan Akins, Texans

[The Football Guru 211]

Houston's need for a tight end wasn't a huge one, but its current depth chart (Ryan Griffin and Stepehn Anderson) there isn't particularly awe-inspiring following the retirement of C.J. Fiedorowicz. Akins moves well for 250 pounds and is an above-average athlete overall, but he's mostly a bigger and older (he's already 26) version of Anderson and not the traditional in-line tight end the Texans would have preferred. Akins' only shot at carving out an offensive niche is beating out the injury-prone Anderson, whose ceiling is usually serving as a part-time detached tight end/slot. As such, Akins is a longshot to be worth a selection in a rookie draft, much less redraft formats.

As a Texans fan the nicest thing I can say is blah.
