Tyler Conklin

29-Year-Old Tight EndTE
New York Jets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Conklin finished each of the past three seasons with exactly 87 targets, catching 58-to-61 passes for 552-to-621 yards. His 621 yards last season were a career high, yet he failed to find the end zone even once (and has just seven career TDs among 212 catches). The 29-year-old should hit paydirt at least a couple of times this season, presumably benefiting from better quarterback play after catching passes from Zach Wilson for most of the past two seasons. The upgrade from Wilson to Aaron Rodgers, though delayed by a year, seemingly overshadows the possibility of targets being siphoned away by veteran WR signing Mike Williams and/or third-round pick Malachi Corley. The bigger threat might be third-year TE Jeremy Ruckert, who is unlikely to play enough snaps to establish his own fantasy value but might get enough to take a chunk out of Conklin's. While Ruckert didn't do much his first year and a half in the league, he had five straight games with at least 22 snaps and two targets in Weeks 11-15 last year before a Week 16 concussion ended his season.

November 18, 2024
Conklin caught one of two targets for seven yards and gained zero yards on his only carry in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Conklin has been limited to just one catch in each of the past three games, producing a meager 12 yards over that span. Despite seeing consistent playing time thanks to his blocking skills, Conklin will be tough to trust from a fantasy perspective when the Jets return from their Week 12 bye.

Conklin finished second on the Jets in targets (87), catches (58), receiving yards (552) and touchdowns (three) in 2022. He played over 70 percent of the team's snaps 14 times, slotting in ahead of C.J. Uzomah and rookie third-rounder Jeremy Ruckert on the team's tight end depth chart. Ruckert could command a larger role this season, and Conklin will have more competition for targets after the Jets signed wide receivers Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman, but New York's passing game is also expected to be more effective with Aaron Rodgers under center. Conklin's one of only seven tight ends to top 550 yards in each of the past two seasons, and Rodgers could help Conklin clear his previous high of three TDs.
Conklin was signed alongside C.J. Uzomah as the Jets restocked their tight end room this past offseason. Both players should see the field frequently, and Conklin actually had more catches (61) and yards (593) with the Vikings last year than Uzomah did with the Bengals, though Conklin scored just three touchdowns despite seeing 16 red-zone targets. A statistical decline is likely for Conklin in 2022 given the increased competition for snaps and targets in New York.
In his third season with the Vikings, the 2018 fifth-round pick set career highs in receptions and yards. The tight end also scored his first NFL touchdown and began to show his ability as a pass catcher near the end of the season after No. 2 TE Kyle Rudolph landed on injured reserve. Conklin had 15 receptions for 168 yards and a score over the last four games with Rudolph out. After Rudolph's release, Conklin was locked in for the No. 2 spot, which may now equate to the No. 1 assignment with starter Irv Smith requiring season-ending meniscus surgery in early September. The Vikings did trade for Chris Herndon at the end of the preseason, but he's done little to nothing since his promising rookie season in 2018. As such, Conklin could open the year in a three-down role, potentially seeing a handful of targets per week.
The 2018 fifth-round pick saw offensive snaps in every game during his rookie campaign, but Conklin only played double-digit snaps in three of those contests. Needless to say, he's likely buried in the depth chart behind Kyle Rudolph and most recent second-round pick Irv Smith Jr., but it's possible the former winds up being traded or released during the lead up to the 2019 campaign. It wouldn't necessarily preclude Conklin's fantasy stardom, but were that event to occur he could wind up seeing more time as a run-blocking option considering Smith's rather diminutive frame (6-3, 242 pounds) for the position.
Conklin (6-3, 254 pounds) is yet another example of a converted basketball player whose skills translated to the gridiron. Playing tight end at Central Michigan, Conklin showed ability as both a receiver and in-line blocker during his two seasons in college and then backed up his play by posting decent testing scores at the combine – headlined by a 38-inch vertical. In Minnesota, the fifth-round rookie could eventually see action in two-TE sets, but he'll need to unseat both David Morgan and Blake Bell to do so.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has chemistry with Rodgers in OTAs
TENew York Jets
June 16, 2024
Conklin's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers stood out during OTAs, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers made headlines for missing mandatory minicamp practices due to a trip, but he was present for the preceding voluntary practices. During those practices, Garrett Wilson and Conklin were the favorite targets of the veteran quarterback. Conklin finished second on the team behind Wilson with 621 receiving yards in 2023, and the reliable tight end could be poised for an even more productive season in 2024 if his connection with Rodgers in practice carries over into games.
