Quick answer
Buy lowAkins caught 40 passes for 390 yards in 2024, finishing TE32. He scored 10% more than his touches said he should. Path runs TE17 → TE67 → TE32 — a bounce-back, not a blank slate. He's 34 — older TEs usually lose work and upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
