Tyler Conklin

Conklin is the TE12 this season which is more an indictment of the position than a reason to feel good about playing him. Conklin has a 16.0% target share (13th-best), 69.2% route participation (16th), and 13.6% air yard share (12th). He's 12th among tight ends with four deep targets, but he has only three red zone targets this season. Conklin rolls back into the TE1 borderline, and our streaming good graces this week with a plus matchup. Minnesota has allowed the ninth-highest catch rate, ninth-highest yards per reception, and eighth-most touchdowns to tight ends.

Tyler Conklin totals 50 yards in Week 12 win

Tyler Conklin caught 3-of-3 targets for 50 yards in New York’s 31-10 win over the Bears in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

Conklin hauled in his most receptions (3) for his most yards (50) in November. Conklin’s increase in yardage likely holds a direct correlation with the benching of Zach Wilson and the start of gunslinger Mike White. After White’s Week 12 performance, he will likely be under center in Week 13 making Conklin a more viable option at a shallow position like tight end for as long as he starts. Conklin will face a Minnesota defense in Week 13 that ranks in the bottom third of the league against tight ends so he could feast and find the end zone.
