Who Should I Start? Jordan Akins or Cade Otton

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins caught his lone target for a 10-yard gain in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Week 1 injury to David Njoku (ankle) made Akins an interesting sleeper candidate heading the game against Jacksonville but he only drew the one target from Deshaun Watson in the win as the Browns instead went a bit more run-heavy than they did last week. Akins is unlikely to be a major part of the Cleveland passing offense, even while Njoku is sidelined. He can stay on waivers heading into a Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was quiet during the season opener against the Washington Commanders last week. A majority of the Bucs' offensive weapons enjoyed successful games, but Otton was held in check. He hauled in one of his two targets for five yards in the blowout win. The third-year tight end was supposed to have a bigger role under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen and his two tight end sets. Possibly, Otton's luck does change in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. However, the Bucs have a handful of other viable options on offense, so Otton is unlikely to be targeted often. He'll be a low-end TE2 and avoidable in most fantasy formats.
