Akins caught five of six targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Patriots.
Akins re-emerged as the team's top tight end option, amassing more targets than Darren Fells (three) and Pharaoh Brown (two) combined. The 11 targets for the position group was the most since Week 2 and could be a sign of things to come should Randall Cobb (toe) and Kenny Stills (quadriceps) miss significant time. With a short week to prepare for Thursday's meeting in Detroit, Akins could be in line for a significant workload.
