The Houston Texans are coming off their bye week and seek their second win of the season as they face the Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field.
According to Pro Football Focus, one fantasy football sleeper in the matchup on Houston’s side would be tight end Jordan Akins, who has cuaght 14 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown.
A sneaky play could be tight end Jordan Akins. Akins has missed the last month due to a high-ankle sprain and a concussion but should return this week. He was a breakout option to start the season and looked good the first two weeks. He scored a touchdown Week 1, and in the second he had seven catches for 55 yards. This was all despite playing some great competition. The Jaguars have allowed the second-most touchdowns to tight ends at seven, and the seventh-most yards at 443. He could have a top-10 tight end day if he’s ready to go.
Of course, Akins would be a true sleeper in that he has missed time since Week 4 with a concussion and an ankle injury. If he is able to go for the Jaguars game, Akins would provide another reliable target for quarterback Deshaun Watson and possibly some unexpected points in key fantasy matchups.
