2024 Fantasy Outlook
Adkins joined the Broncos as an undrafted free agent during the 2023 offseason and appeared in 10 games as a rookie. The 25-year-old tight end was minimally involved on offense, catching four of his five targets for 22 yards while playing just 57 offensive snaps. Adkins was more involved on special teams, as he played 97 special teams snaps in 2023. If the 6-foot-3, 252-pounder makes the 53-man roster, he'd likely play a similar role as a special teams contributor in 2024. Ahead of him on the tight end depth chart are Greg Dulcich, Adam Trautman, and Lucas Krull. Read Past Outlooks
Posts one catch, TD in Week 11
Adkins secured his lone target for a 12-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Adkins started Denver's avalanche of scoring Sunday, catching his second touchdown of the season early in the first quarter against Atlanta. The 25-year-old tight end has recorded just six receptions for 34 yards and two scores over the course of the first 11 games of the 2024 campaign. Adkins' role as the No. 2 tight end in Denver's passing offense has predictably not resulted in much production this season. He should remain off the fantasy radar in a Week 12 matchup with the Raiders.
