Tyler Conklin Week 4 Outlook - Jets at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 29th 2022, 1:05pm EDT

There's a chance that Conklin fails to keep up his unbelievable pace from the start of the season, if the Jets do indeed take the air out of the ball and dial back the pass attempts. His role as the primary pass-catching tight end in the Jets offense doesn't project to change even with C.J. Uzomah back in the fold, but expecting him to see seven-plus targets for a fourth straight week is probably not smart. He's fine as a streamer off waivers if you don't have another option based on his 17% target share and top-12 route participation. And I will say the matchup versus Pittsburgh does seem to favor the burly tight end as two TEs the Steelers have faced this season (Hayden Hurst, David Njoku) both averaged nine targets.
