Who Should I Start? Jordan Akins or Dalton Kincaid

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins caught six of his eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. Akins caught Bailey Zappe's lone touchdown pass in the contest on a 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end turned in a strong showing starting in place of the injured David Njoku (knee) over Cleveland's final two games of the season, catching 12 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. Akins is an unrestricted free-agent heading into the offseason as he will hope to parlay his strong performance at the end of the season into a new contract somewhere in 2025.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. The 26-year-old has operated in a reduced role this season, playing just 40.1% of the offensive snaps in games where he's active. With that said, he has still scored five touchdowns, breaking his previous career-high of two. His absence will create more opportunities for Dawson Knox, who is expected to start at tight end against the Eagles. He ranks as a solid fantasy TE2 in the Bills' strong offense.
