2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lost amid a hectic offseason of target upgrades was the Browns adding Akins, who previously worked with QB Deshaun Watson when the two were with Houston. Ironically, his best year was 2022 when Akins had Davis Mills throwing him passes. Akins wasn't with the Texans 'organization in the preseason but rejoined his former team on its practice squad and finished with a team-high five TDs. While relinking with Watson is a good thing, the situation is different. There weren't many threats in a discombobulated offense last year, but Akins joins an outfit teeming with quality receivers and will back up David Njoku. Read Past Outlooks

Happily reunited with Watson
Akins was on the field for Cleveland's organized team activities this week, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Akins signed with the Browns during the offseason and acknowledged that reuniting with quarterback Deshaun Watson as a primary reason. The two played three seasons together in Houston. The Browns placed plenty of offseason focus on improving targets for Watson, and the 6-foot-6 Akins brings familiarity and serves as a red-zone threat. Akins is expected to back up David Njoku at tight end.
