Jordan Akins could offer the Browns a reliable tight end option, especially with their focus on enhancing the position after losing Harrison Bryant. His experience will be invaluable in the new offensive scheme.

Jordan Akins has been a reliable backup for the Browns but does not match the potential offensive upside that Juwan Johnson presents. This could lead to significant changes in the tight end rotation.

Jordan Akins caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Bailey Zappe, marking a significant moment for the Browns as it ended a long drought of 25 offensive drives without a touchdown. This play highlighted a brief resurgence for the team amidst a challenging game.

In Njoku's absence during Week 15, Jordan Akins stepped in as the starting tight end for the Browns, catching three passes for 30 yards. Despite his contributions, Akins' performance highlighted the gap left by Njoku's absence, as he lacks the same level of talent and established chemistry with the quarterbacks.

Jordan Akins is expected to start in place of the inactive David Njoku. He has recorded 24 receptions for 243 yards and one touchdown this season, stepping up as a reliable target for the Browns.
