28-Year-Old Tight EndTE
New York Jets
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Ties for second with five targets
TENew York Jets
September 24, 2023
Conklin caught three of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Conklin tied Allen Lazard for second behind Garrett Wilson in both catches and targets, but New York's offense struggled once again as Zach Wilson threw for just 157 yards. After being limited to one catch for two yards in the season opener, Conklin has eight catches for 76 yards in two subsequent games, and he should remain the Jets' top pass-catching tight end in Week 4 against the Chiefs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
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.
