News

  • Ready to face Houston

    Conklin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans after logging a full practice Friday.

    Analysis: After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Conklin upgraded to full participation Friday. He'll work as the top tight end for the Jets on Sunday against a Texans defense that has allowed a league-high 81 receptions to the position group.

  • Another limited session

    Conklin (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Following back-to-back capped sessions to start the week, Conklin may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. In the Jets' 13-8 loss to the Falcons in Week 13, Conklin logged a team-high nine targets but hauled in only three of them for 35 yards.

  • Limited due to hamstring Wednesday

    Conklin was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Soft-tissue injuries can be tricky to navigate, but it's encouraging that Conklin was able to practice in some capacity Wednesday. If Conklin can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid taking a designation into Sunday's home game against the Texans. With C.J. Uzomah (knee) going on injured reserve Wednesday, the Jets' depth chart at tight end behind Conklin consists of Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah (hamstring), the latter of whom was reinstated from IR in a…read more

  • Does little with nine targets

    Conklin caught three of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Conklin actually led the Jets in targets, but he finished third in receiving yards behind Xavier Gipson (77) and Garrett Wilson (50). Regardless of whether Tim Boyle, Trevor Siemian or Zach Wilson starts in Week 14 against the Texans, New York's quarterback will likely have to check it down to Conklin often given the offensive line's inability to buy time and the team's lack of receiving depth.

  • Four catches in Week 12 loss

    Conklin caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Conklin finished second behind Garrett Wilson (44) in receiving yards and third behind Wilson (10) and Breece Hall (nine) in targets, as the Jets' offense looked no better in Tim Boyle's first start of 2023 under center. Wide receiver Allen Lazard was a healthy inactive after his recent issues with drops, so Conklin is the clear No. 3 option behind Wilson and Hall in New York's struggling offense heading into a Week 13 home game against the Falcons.

  • Just two catches in blowout loss

    Conklin caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Conklin was outproduced by fellow tight end Jeremy Ruckert, who caught three of four targets for 25 yards. New York's coaching staff wants to get the 23-year-old Ruckert more involved, which could cut into the 28-year-old Conklin's volume the rest of the season. Conklin finished with fewer than three receptions for just the third time in 10 games this season. Regardless of whether the Jets name Zach Wilson or Tim Boyle as their starting quarterback for Week 12 against the Dolphins, Conklin…read more

  • Season-best output in Week 10 loss

    Conklin caught all seven of his targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to Vegas.

    Analysis: Conklin set season highs in catches and receiving yards for the second consecutive week, topping his six catches for 66 yards from Week 9 against the Chargers. The tight end has emerged as the third-best player in the Jets' struggling offense behind wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall, but Conklin's still searching for his first touchdown of the season heading into a Week 11 road matchup with the Bills.

  • Catches all six targets Monday

    Conklin caught all six of his targets for 66 yards in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Conklin bounced back nicely after going without a catch in the previous game. In addition to setting a season high in catches and coming one yard short of his season best, Conklin drew a 14-yard pass interference penalty on third down to extend a third-quarter drive. The tight end was tackled on the 2-yard line on the Jets' final offensive play, narrowly missing his first touchdown of 2023. Heading into a Week 10 road game against the Raiders, Conklin has notched at least three catches in all…read more

  • Blanked in Week 8 win

    Conklin didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Conklin had at least three catches in each of the previous five games, but he didn't account for any of Zach Wilson's 17 completions in the overtime victory. His two targets matched the combined total of C.J. Uzomah and Jeremy Ruckert, so Conklin remains the top pass catching option among the Jets' tight ends heading into a Week 9 home game against the Chargers on MNF.

  • Three catches in Week 6

    Conklin caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Conklin wasn't a major part of the game plan as Zach Wilson threw for just 186 yards, but New York won the turnover battle 4-0 to pull off the upset win. Heading into the Jets' Week 7 bye, Conklin has caught at least three passes in all but one game, but he's still looking his first touchdown of the season.

  • Leading receiver in win

    Conklin had four receptions on five targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Conklin finished first in receiving yardage for the Jets in a game where neither team reached 200 passing yards. The veteran tight end has quietly contributed 50 or more yards in three of his last four contests. Conklin has yet to hit pay dirt this season, something he will attempt to correct against the Eagles next Sunday.

  • Goes for 58 yards in loss

    Conklin caught four of his six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end's six targets finished behind only top wideout Garrett Wilson's 14 on Sunday, and his night would have been even bigger has C.J. Uzomah not vultured a one-yard TD in the second quarter. Conklin has alternated modest and poor receiving totals through four games, resulting in him being a low-end option for fantasy purposes. He also has yet to be targeted in the red zone, a trend that hurts his potential heading into next Sunday's matchup against Denver.

  • Ties for second with five targets

    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.

  • Five grabs in Sunday's loss

    Conklin caught five of six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Aside from a 68-yard TD grab by Garrett Wilson (undisclosed), Conklin was the only Jets receiving option to make any kind of impact, as the veteran tight end gave QB Zach Wilson a reliable safety valve in the face of a relentless Dallas pass rush. Conklin doesn't have much of a fantasy ceiling, but his developing chemistry with his young quarterback could give him a solid floor in Week 3 against the Patriots.

  • One catch vs. Buffalo

    Conklin caught his only target for two yards in Monday's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Conklin was the only tight end to draw a target for the Jets, who went with a run-heavy approach after Aaron Rodgers suffered what turned out to be a season-ending torn Achilles on the opening drive. With New York likely to implement a more risk-averse offense for Zach Wilson moving forward, Conklin could see a slight uptick in usage in Week 2 against the Cowboys and beyond.

  • Catches lone target Saturday

    Conklin started and caught his lone target for seven yards in Saturday's preseason finale against the Giants.

    Analysis: Conklin's reception came from the arm of new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who made his preseason debut with the Jets on Saturday. The veteran tight end posted a modest 58/552/3 receiving line while starting for New York last year, but he could see a slight bump in production simply from the upgrade Rodgers gives this offense. The Jets will mix in veteran C.J. Uzomah and sophomore Jeremy Ruckert at tight end, so Conklin shouldn't be valued as high other starting tight ends who dominate their…read more

  • Set to reprise role in 2023

    Conklin caught one of two targets for seven yards in Saturday's 27-0 preseason win over Carolina.

    Analysis: Conklin got his feet wet in the second of the Jets' four preseason games. After leading New York's tight ends with 552 receiving yards in 2022, Conklin projects to occupy a similar role in 2023 while splitting playing time with C.J. Uzomah. Jeremy Ruckert also could push for playing time at tight end this season, but the 2022 third-round pick suffered a shoulder injury in Saturday's game.

  • Different team, same production

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Leads team in receiving

    Conklin caught all six of his targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Four catches in Week 16

    Conklin caught all four of his targets for 34 yards in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Watches fellow TE score two TDs

    Conklin caught one of two targets for seven yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Just 28 yards on eight targets

    Conklin caught five of eight targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Quiet against former team

    Conklin caught two of seven targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Three catches in Week 12 win

    Conklin caught all three of his targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Conklin put forth a respectable showing in quarterback Mike White's season debut, highlighted by a 29-yard catch in the third quarter on an accurate delivery from White. The entire Jets passing game looked as good as it has all season with White under center, which bodes well for Conklin's outlook moving forward. The tight end has a revenge game on tap in Week 13 against the Vikings team with which Conklin spent his first four seasons before joining the Jets via free agency this past offseason.

  • Two catches in road loss

    Conklin caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Quarterback Zach Wilson threw for just 77 yards, so Conklin was far from the only Jets skill position player to put forth an underwhelming performance in this one. The 27-year-old tight end has 35 catches for 331 yards through 10 games with the Jets. In Week 12, he'll face a Bears team that held Conklin to his two lowest yardage totals of the season (seven and six) when he was with the Vikings last year.

  • Limited role in run-heavy win

    Conklin caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: New York implemented a run-heavy game plan in the upset win, and rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson was prioritized when the team turned to the air, accounting for eight of Zach Wilson's 18 completions and 92 of the quarterback's 154 passing yards. Conklin's inconsistent usage can be frustrating, as he's been targeted at least seven times on four different occasions but has also drawn two or fewer targets three times heading into New York's Week 10 bye.

  • Scores twice in Week 8 loss

    Conklin caught six of 10 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Conklin scored from eight yards out in the second quarter to put the Jets up 10-3, but New York failed to add any more points until Conklin's nine-yard touchdown late in the fourth. These were the first two touchdowns since the season opener for the tight end, who led the Jets in targets and has been targeted at least seven times in four of eight games. A pass-heavy game script is likely in Week 9 against the Bills, which should lead to another high-volume game for Conklin.

    Conklin caught four of six targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Denver.

    Analysis: Conklin led the Jets in targets in a game that saw Corey Davis and Breece Hall exit due to knee injuries while Elijah Moore (personal) sat out. Despite slowing down in recent weeks, Conklin has still racked up an impressive 38 targets through seven games.

  • Two targets in Week 6 win

    Conklin caught one of two targets for 16 yards and added a one-yard rush in Sunday's 27-10 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Conklin had one less yard and the same number of targets as C.J. Uzomah. Each of the top two tight ends saw minimal involvement as pass catchers as New York rode its running game and defense to a win at Lambeau Field. Conklin's rushing yard came as the Jets joined the recent trend of sneaking with their tight end from under center to keep its quarterback from taking a hit.

    Analysis: Conklin has just six targets in two games since Zach Wilson returned from a knee injury after racking up 24 over three games with Joe Flacco under center. After his early run of usefulness, Conklin's fantasy stock is falling ahead of a Week 6 trip to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Conklin remained involved in Zach Wilson's (knee) season debut under center, as the tight end posted his second-highest yardage total of the season. Heading into Week 5 against the Dolphins, Conkin has totaled 21 catches for 192 yards and a touchdown.

    Conklin caught all eight of his targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 27-12 loss to Cincinnati.

    Analysis: C.J. Uzomah returned from a hamstring injury, but Conklin remained the clear top pass-catcher among New York's tight ends, as Uzomah was targeted only once. Conklin led all Jets in catches and receiving yards, and he has been targeted 24 times through three weeks by veteran Joe Flacco. He'll hope to get similar volume from Zach Wilson (knee) when the starting quarterback returns, which could be as soon as Week 4 against the Steelers.

  • Six catches in Week 2 win

    Conklin caught six of nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Conklin's usage early in his Jets tenure has been encouraging, as he's had 16 passes thrown his way through two games. He'll need to improve his ball security, as Conklin fumbled for the second consecutive game, though both of them were recovered by the Jets. If C.J. Uzomah (hamstring) returns in Week 3 against the Bengals, he could cut into Conklin's near-monopoly on pass-catching opportunities among New York's tight ends.

    Analysis: Conklin and C.J. Uzomah were both expected to play prominent roles after being signed in free agency, but Conklin was targeted on seven of the eight passes Joe Flacco threw to tight ends, with the other going to Lawrence Cager rather than Uzomah. Conklin didn't make much of the volume until he hauled in a three-yard touchdown in the final minute, but he'll have some appeal at the thin tight-end position in Week 2 against the Browns and beyond if the Jets continue to give him the vast majority…read more

  • Three catches in Jets debut

    Conklin caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Friday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Conklin was significantly more involved than fellow offseason acquisition C.J. Uzomah, who drew just one target, albeit in the end zone. It will be hard for either Jets tight end to produce consistent fantasy value while working in a timeshare at the position, but Conklin may have the higher ceiling as a pass catcher.

  • Building rapport with Wilson

    Conklin was the most targeted player in Saturday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Conklin caught seven passes from starting quarterback Zach Wilson, including a touchdown. Coach Robert Saleh has described Conklin's performance in camp as "a pleasant surprise," and Conklin consistently has won 1-on-1 matchups against defenders. Both Conklin and fellow offseason addition C.J. Uzomah are likely to see significant playing time in 2022, but it sounds like the former Vikings tight end thus far has made the stronger impression as a pass catcher.

  • Jetting to New York

    The Jets and Conklin agreed to terms on a contract Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: In 2021 with Minnesota, Conklin benefited from the loss of Irv Smith for the season due to a torn meniscus in late August, breaking out with a 61-593-3 receiving line on 87 targets in 17 games. With his new squad, Conklin joins C.J. Uzomah to form a remodeled tight end room.

  • Minimal role in season finale

    Conklin caught two of four targets for six yards during Week 18's 31-17 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: With Irv Smith (knee) lost for the year before the season began, Conklin came into 2021 with a bigger role than expected. He fared admirably, notching multiple catches in all but one game and finished the 2021 campaign with 61 receptions for 593 yards and three touchdowns -- all career highs. Conklin is set to be a free agent this offseason, so he may draw some interest from around the league after his career year, which in turn would make it difficult for the Vikings to bring him back.

  • Gets nine targets in loss

    Conklin (hamstring) had five receptions on nine targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Conklin had a minor scare when he was leveled with a clean hit while trying to haul in a pass, resulting in a wild Immaculate Reception type of play in which Minnesota's center, Garrett Bradbury, caught the deflection and rumbled for 21 yards. The Vikings' starting tight end stayed on the ground after absorbing the big hit, and he appeared to be favoring his midsection and not his previously-injured hamstring. Conklin eventually returned to the game and appears to have avoided serious injury…read more

  • Playing in Week 17

    Conklin (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Conklin increased his activity level slowly but surely throughout Week 17 prep, going from no activity Wednesday to all of it at Friday's practice. He still carried a questionable tag into the weekend, but it's now been removed as the Vikings posted their list of inactives. Minnesota's offense will be directed by Sean Mannion on Sunday after Kirk Cousins (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, but with Adam Thielen (ankle) on injured reserve Conklin has less competition than normal…read more

    Analysis: Conklin was able to put in a full practice Friday, so he looks set to play. Quarterback play may be the larger issue for Conklin, with Sean Mannion set to make his first start since 2019 with Kirk Cousins on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Conklin (hamstring) turned in a full practice Friday but will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game in Green Bay, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: For the first time all season, Conklin heads into game day with a designation, though his ability to take every rep Friday bodes well for his chances of avoiding the inactive list. Assuming Conklin gets the green light to play, he could prove to be a trusted safety valve underneath for fill-in starting quarterback Sean Mannion, who is less likely to take chances downfield than Kirk Cousins. With Cousins on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Friday, the Vikings could…read more

    Conklin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Conklin has a shot to play after his return to practice Thursday, but there'll be some extra risk for fantasy managers if he's a game-time decision with the Packers and Vikings kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday. There's also the matter of Sean Mannion replacing Kirk Cousins (reserve/COVID-19 list) at quarterback, though the change might affect a short-area possession target like Conklin less than it affects wideouts Justin Jefferson and K.J.

    Analysis: Conklin showed some progress Thursday after not handling any practice reps one day prior as he deals with a hamstring issue.

    Analysis: Conklin had caught at least two passes in every single game this season until he was held to just one catch for seven yards against the Bears in Week 15. However, the tight end bounced back against the Rams to notch his seventh game with at least four catches and his seventh game with at least 40 yards receiving.

  • Limited to one catch

    Conklin brought in one of three targets for seven yards in the Vikings' 17-9 win over the Bears on Monday night.

    Analysis: The emerging tight end had a rough night, one which was more or less emblematic of the struggles of the Vikings' passing game as a whole. Conklin has established new career highs across the board this season, but he's now been limited to no more than three receptions and 35 receiving yards in five of the last six contests. Conklin's next chance to boost his production comes in a Week 16 home matchup against the Rams that will be critical to Minnesota's playoff hopes.

    Conklin caught both his targets for 20 yards during Thursday's 36-28 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Conklin appeared poised for a larger role in the passing game with Adam Thielen (ankle) sidelined, but Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn were targeted on 24 of Kirk Cousins' 31 pass attempts instead. The two targets were a season low for Conklin, though it's the sixth time this year he's finished below 30 receiving yards.

  • Nine targets in loss

    Conklin caught seven of nine targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: The nine targets set a new highwater mark for Conklin this season, which was due in large part to the absence of Adam Thielen (ankle), who left the contest early in the first quarter. The 25-year-old's seven receptions also tied his season high this year, and he figures to see a small uptick in attention from Kirk Cousins for as long as Thielen is sidelined.

    Analysis: Conklin has caught multiple passes in every game this season and has totaled 40 receptions for 413 yards and three touchdowns through 11 contests. The 25-year-old has solidified himself as the Vikings' No. 1 pass-catching tight end with Irv Smith (knee) out for the season. He will likely remain a high-floor fantasy option against the Lions in Week 12.

    Analysis: Conklin fell back down to earth following his two-touchdown game in Week 10, finishing fifth in targets among Minnesota receiving options. The 25-year-old is still the clear-cut starter for the Vikings and has provided deep-league value with 388 yards and three touchdowns through 10 contests. Conklin will have his work cut out for him against the 49ers' athletic coverage linebackers next Sunday.

    Conklin caught three of five targets for 11 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: He didn't see a lot of action between the 20s, but the tight end caught a five-yard TD strike from Kirk Cousins in the second quarter and a one-yard score in the third, accounting for both the QB's touchdowns on the afternoon. Conklin came into the game with only one TD on the year, but he's seen at least five targets in four straight games, giving his fantasy value some stability heading into a Week 11 clash with the Packers.

    Analysis: Conklin surpassed his previous single-game high in yards this season by one yard, doing most of his damage on a big 40-yard play. The 26-year-old remains the starting tight end for Minnesota, but his lack of targets (five per game) and red zone looks (just three this season) caps his fantasy potential. However, Conklin appears to be a solid bye week fill-in once he returns from Minnesota's upcoming bye week due to his consistent, albeit low, usage.

  • Just two receptions Sunday

    Conklin had two receptions for 26 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

    Analysis: Conklin's low output (a season low in targets) was probably due to Minnesota's conservative game plan that turned to the running game in the second half. However, Conklin played on 50 of the offense's 67 snaps, and went out for a pass on 26 plays, about his season average. He has a stable role in the passing offense, but his upside may be limited by a lack of targets.

    Conklin had four receptions for 18 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Conklin missed practice Wednesday due to glute and elbow injuries, but he made it back on the field Thursday and Friday and looked at full speed Sunday. While he produced just 18 yards from scrimmage, it was encouraging that he had six targets after eight in Week 3. Minnesota struggled to move the ball against Cleveland's tough defense, so his continued involvement in the passing game bodes well for an easier matchup next week against Detroit.

    Conlkin (glute/elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with Seattle.

    Analysis: Conklin missed practice Wednesday but made it back on the field Thursday and Friday. He caught seven of eight targets for 70 yards and a touchdown last week in the 30-17 win over Seattle after hauling in six of eight targets for 56 yards over the first two weeks combined. While he isn't much of a big-play threat, Conklin's workload (16 targets, 74.0 percent snap share) puts him on the map as at least a streaming option in fantasy.

One day later, he's bumped up to some activity, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to enter this weekend without a game-day designation.

After busting out for seven catches (on eight targets) for 70 yards and one touchdown this past Sunday against the Seahawks, Conklin could be in danger of missing time.

    Analysis: After two quiet performances to begin the season, Conklin broke out in a big way Sunday, catching the first of Kirk Cousins' three TD passes on a seven-yard strike in the first quarter. The tight end is well behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen in the pecking order when it comes to the Minnesota passing game, but he appears to be firmly entrenched at the top of the depth chart at his own position heading into a Week 4 tilt against the Browns.

    Analysis: Conklin played 49 snaps on offense and went out for passes on 23 snaps (after playing 59 snaps and running 38 routes Week 1). He's the Vikings' clear top tight end, but he has a small role in the passing game as the Vikings have more prominently featured a third receiver (K.J. Osborn) more than previous seasons in the passing game. Conklin eventually could find more of a red-zone role with his size (6-foot-3).

It was a slight negative that the Vikings utilized a third receiver (K.J. Osborn) more than usual in the passing game, but the Vikings also were playing much of the game from behind.

    Analysis: Conklin dealt with a pair of injury concerns in training camp and the preseason. The current one is a mild hamstring injury, which kept him out of all three of Minnesota's exhibition games last month. In the wake of Irv Smith's season-ending meniscectomy in late August, Conklin elevated to the top of the depth chart at tight end, but ex-Jet Chris Herndon has since joined the group.

    Analysis: The Vikings traded for Chris Herndon on Tuesday, but the team mostly seems to be counting on Conklin to shoulder the burden of the No. 1 tight end. Head coach Mike Zimmer mentioned that Smith's injury will impact formation usage, with the Vikings likely using more three-wide sets than they did last season when Smith, Conklin and Kyle Rudolph were all on the team.

The severity of Smith's meniscus injury remains unclear, and there's a chance it could be season-ending, so the acquisition of Herndon could reflect those worries as much as it does concerns about Conklin's skill set.

    Analysis: With Kyle Rudolph no longer in the mix, Smith had been viewed as a possible fantasy breakout candidate in 2021. With that potential outcome on hold, Conklin could emerge as an option in deeper formats early on this season.

  • Dealing with minor injury

    Conklin suffered a mild hamstring injury Monday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The tight end left practice early with a trainer but reportedly isn't expected to be out too long. Conklin is the Vikings' No. 2 tight end, with his solid performance late last season perhaps making it easier for the team to move on from Kyle Rudolph (now with the Giants) in the offseason. The role may entail only 2-4 targets per game, but Conklin could establish mainstream fantasy value if starter Irv Smith misses any time.

He's kind of emerged as a guy that's moving upward, and with those two guys (Conklin and Irv Smith), we have a lot of weapons there," said Zimmer.

    Analysis: With the departure of Kyle Rudolph, Conklin looks set to move up the depth chart and be used next to Irv Smith in two-tight end sets. Conklin had 15 receptions for 168 yards and a score over the last four games when Rudolph was out with an injury, supporting the notion he could carve out a role in the passing offense this season. Still, Conklin may be used more as a blocker with Smith likely to command most of the targets to the position.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old had a presence on the stat sheet for the second straight week, following up his solid 5-40 line against the Buccaneers with Sunday's showing, which included his first career touchdown. Conklin's elevated role over the last pair of contests is a direct byproduct of the absence of Kyle Rudolph (foot), so it would be difficult to trust it continuing were his veteran teammate to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Saints on Christmas Day.

    Analysis: Conklin played a season-high 45 snaps with Kyle Rudolph sidelined with a foot injury. He played more snaps than Irv Smith (28), but that may be only because Smith was coming back after missing two games with a back injury. Conklin could continue to be part of the passing game if Rudolph is out another week, but it won't be a surprise if Smith overtakes him for playing time.

Conklin's getting plenty of usage when Smith is out of the lineup. If Smith returns in Week 14 against the Buccaneers, Conklin will shift back to a reserve role.

The 24-year-old Conklin averaged 18.4 offensive snaps per game, running routes on 67.6 percent of those snaps. Since Rudolph and Smith are both under contract in 2020, Conklin won't warrant fantasy attention heading into next season.

  • Shakes off injury

    Conklin (knee) was a full participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Conklin had suffered the knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's wild-card win over the Saints. His full practice availability suggests that, barring a setback this week, the Central Michigan product will be ready to go for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

  • Exits contest Sunday

    Conklin (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Conklin went up for a catch in the redzone in the second quarter and came up limping after missing the pass. He'll likely get additional treatment at the halftime break, but as long as he's sidelined, the only healthy tight ends for the Vikings are Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith Jr.

  • Catches three passes in win

    Conklin caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

    Analysis: Conklin now has seven catches for 49 yards over the last three contests after not recording a catch through his first seven games of the season. The 24-year-old played a season-high 35 offensive snaps Sunday, but he still saw fewer snaps than fellow tight ends Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith.

  • Two receptions Sunday

    Conklin had two receptions for 28 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Denver.

    Analysis: Conklin didn't have a reception and had just one target on the season before Sunday. With Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith playing well ahead of him on the depth chart, it's hard to see him getting more than a few targets per game. Still, his four targets over the last two games make him worth monitoring in deep formats.
