Tyler Conklin, a Michigan native who played collegiately at Central Michigan, is heading to his home state as he has signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Conklin is an eight-year veteran in the NFL and has played with the Vikings, Jets, and Chargers. He saw a drastic decline in production in his only season with the Chargers last year, catching just seven passes for 101 yards in 13 games. It was a far cry from his previous four seasons where he averaged 58 catches, 554 yards, and hauled in 10 of his 11 career touchdowns. Conklin will play second fiddle to Sam LaPorta in Detroit, but he should be able to far surpass his numbers from 2025 in the Lions' high-powered offense.
Tyler Conklin caught his lone target for three yards in the Chargers 21-18 loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Conklin turned in a very quiet performance in Week 4 and appears to be losing playing time to rookie Oronde Gadsden. Fantasy managers can likely find a more consistent streaming option ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Commanders.
