Conklin

Hilariously, Conklin for some reason also took a fourth down direct snap that was stopped for no gain. Now held to one catch in three straight starts, Conklin is pure waiver wire fodder heading into the Jets’ Week 12 bye.

Conklin broke hearts in a week when fantasy managers were desperate for tight end streaming options. He is a touchdown-based player in need of extra-soft matchups to return value. He is a TE2/3 against the Colts in Week 11.

Conklin’s status is perplexing. He was added to Friday’s injury report and is now listed as questionable despite practicing in full. We will try to find clarifying information on the matter because Conklin is a potential streaming option this week, with so many starting tight ends sidelined by bye weeks.

Conklin’s second touchdown of the season was his second in as many weeks since Davante Adams joined the team. The 42 yards were his third most of 2024. Conklin is hanging around in the mid-range TE2 ranks, but Adams’ arrival killed any shot he had of dark horse TE1 status. The Texans await for Week 9.

Conklin fell further down the pass-catching ranks with the injection of Davante Adams into the offense, leaving the veteran tight end on the outside looking in when it comes to commanding consistent volume. Fantasy managers that grew accustomed to the volume he held prior to the coaching change in New York and addition of Adams might want to start making other plans at the position moving forward.

Conklin practiced in full on Friday so he should be good to go as a shaky TE2 against the Steelers this week. Conklin cannot be counted on to produce in a meaningful way, especially with Davante Adams reunited with Aaron Rodgers.

Conklin played through the hip issue last week but only caught two balls for 10 yards. With Davante Adams now added to the mix, he has next to no shot at earning enough targets to be a fantasy-relevant option.

Conklin came into the contest listed as questionable but ultimately suited up, giving away more snaps to backup tight end Jeremy Ruckert than is typical in the process. Conklin remains a high-end TE2 as the Jets prepare to face the Steelers in Week 7.

Conklin managed a full week of limited sessions and ultimately drew the questionable tag for Monday Night Football against the Bills in Week 6. Considering the timing of the game, fantasy managers could consider making backup plans at tight end this week.

While hardly a prolific player, Conklin is currently fourth on the team with 25 targets and offers fantasy managers moderate streaming viability. He should suit up this week.
