Akins caught his lone target for two yards in Monday's 26-22 loss to the Steelers in Week 2.

EDGE Analysis

Thus far, Akins has not been a high-volume target of Deshaun Watson, his former quarterback when the pair were in Houston. The tight end's snap count dropped from 23 in Week 1 to nine in Week 2. He's been targeted once in each of the first two games, catching both for 14 yards. The rosy offseason scenario, which painted Akins vaulting Harrison Bryant (26 snaps Monday) to become the No. 2 tight end and rekindle the chemistry he had with Watson, has not yet materialized.
