Jets' Tyler Conklin: Different team, same production
Rotowire
Conklin caught two of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He had 58 catches on 87 targets for 552 yards and three touchdowns in 2022.
An offseason move from Minnesota to New York had a minimal impact on Conklin's stats, as he posted a near carbon copy of his 2021 campaign with the Vikings. In the first season of his three-year contract with the Jets, he had the same number of targets and touchdowns while totaling three fewer catches and 41 fewer yards than his final year in Minnesota. The 27-year-old tight end finished second on the team behind rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson in receiving yards, albeit with half of Wilson's total.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Conklin should have the chance for another solid game in Week 18 against Miami. The Dolphins are No. 3 in Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends on the season, and three tight ends have scored against Miami in the past three games. Joe Flacco is starting for the Jets with Mike White (ribs) out, but Conklin played well with Flacco to start the season. In the first three games of the year with Flacco, Conklin scored at least 10 PPR points in each outing and had at least seven targets in each contest. His average over those three games was 12.1 PPR points per game.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Start Him In PPR (Lineup Decisions)
Rotowire
In three games with Joe Flacco, Conklin has seen 7, 9 and 8 targets and has scored 11, 10 and 16 PPR points. That's pretty good. Flacco's tendency to throw a ton should serve Conklin (and perhaps all Jets WRs) well. It doesn't hurt that the Jets' run game isn't effective. The matchup is actually phenomenal -- nine of the past 11 tight ends against the Dolphins have posted at least 10 PPR points including Hunter Henry hitting double digits last week. Conklin should be able to get to that.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Conklin had a solid game with Mike White back in Week 17 at Seattle with six catches for 80 yards on six targets, and Conklin now has at least six targets in three of four starts with White. The Dolphins are No. 3 in Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends on the season, and Conklin is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Leads team in receiving
Rotowire
Conklin caught all six of his targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.
The tight end was the only one of Mike White's targets to have any kind of success -- no other Jet had more than three catches, and Corey Davis' 45 receiving yards was second on the team. It was Conklin's best performance since he hauled in 84 yards in Week 3, but he'll remain a volatile fantasy option in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Conklin gets the right combination this week of quarterback Mike White back and a great matchup against the Seahawks. In his past two games with White under center, Conklin had at least seven targets in each outing against the Vikings and Bills. White should continue to lean on Conklin in Week 17 at Seattle, and the Seahawks are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Four tight ends have scored at least 12 PPR points against the Seahawks in their past seven games.

Conklin has been a borderline starter this year without Zach Wilson, and the Seahawks have allowed more Fantasy points to tight ends than any other defense. Still, Conklin is more of an injury replacement, I wouldn't start him over anyone you've been starting.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Four catches in Week 16
Rotowire
Conklin caught all four of his targets for 34 yards in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.
Conklin finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Michael Carter's 44, as Zach Wilson threw for only 92 yards before being benched well into the third quarter. The offense moved better after Chris Streveler replaced Wilson, but Jets pass catchers will be tough to trust in Week 17 against the Seahawks unless quarterback Mike White (ribs) is cleared to return.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Watches fellow TE score two TDs
Rotowire
Conklin caught one of two targets for seven yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.
In addition to contributing as a traditional tight end, Conklin also lined up under center to sneak it for a first down in the third quarter. He watched fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah score his first two touchdowns of the season, pulling within one of Conklin's season total. Conklin continues to see the most volume among Jets tight ends heading into Thursday's home game against the Jaguars.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
I'm glad that Mike White (ribs) is playing in Week 15 against Detroit, and he should continue to lean on Conklin as a weapon in the passing game. He has 15 targets in his past two games against the Vikings and Bills, and he should have another game with plenty of volume against the Lions in Week 15. Detroit is also No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and three tight ends have scored at least 13 PPR points against the Lions in the past five games. Conklin should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues.
It's been a roller coaster ride with Conklin this season, but for the most part his production has been tied to how many passes the Jets throw. We expect another 40-plus attempts from Mike White this week against a Lions offense that has been on fire.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 15 Waiver Priority List

Conklin has 15 targets in his past two games against the Vikings and Bills, and he should have another game with plenty of volume against the Lions in Week 15. Detroit is also No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and we hope Mike White (ribs) is healthy for this matchup. If White plays as expected then consider Conklin a low-end starter in all leagues. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Just 28 yards on eight targets
Rotowire
Conklin caught five of eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to Buffalo.
Conklin ranked second on the Jets in targets but failed to make much of the volume, falling short of 30 yards for the seventh time in the past nine games. After a strong start to his Jets tenure, Conklin has fallen off despite continuing to get the vast majority of targets over C.J. Uzomah.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
The Bills have not allowed a tight end to score a touchdown this season, and Buffalo already held Conklin to one catch for 7 yards on two targets in Week 9. Conklin also hasn't scored a touchdown in four games in a row, and he's combined for just 14 PPR points over that span. This isn't the week to trust Conklin as a starter in the majority of leagues.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Quiet against former team
Rotowire
Conklin caught two of seven targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.
Facing the team with which he spent his first four seasons, Conklin failed to make much of his opportunities. He has been targeted at least seven times on five separate occasions this season, but only two of those busy games have come from Week 4 onward. In Week 14, Conklin will face a Bills team that held him to seven yards in their first meeting of the year.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: TEs to Start
Rotowire
Let's hope that Mike White continues to boost the value for Conklin, starting in Week 13 against the Vikings, which is a revenge game for him. Conklin had three catches for 50 yards on three targets in Week 12 against Chicago in the first start with White. It's a good matchup for Conklin against his former team since Minnesota has allowed four touchdowns to tight ends in the past six games, and Conklin is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues.
Conklin has averaged 11.5 PPR FPPG in the four games without Zach Wilson. More importantly, he's been much better in games where the Jets throw a lot and the matchup against the Vikings strongly suggests 35-plus pass attempts.
