Conklin caught all eight of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills. He also caught a two-point conversion. Most of Conklin's production came in the fourth quarter after the Jets turned to Tyrod Taylor under center. Taylor found Conklin for a two-point conversion after a Garrett Wilson touchdown, then Conklin caught a 20-yard touchdown pass to round out the scoring with 1:55 remaining. Two of Conklin's three highest yardage totals this season have come in the last two weeks and he set a season high in catches Sunday, giving him some late-season momentum ahead of the Week 18 finale against the Dolphins.

Conklin caught all eight of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills. He also caught a two-point conversion. Most of Conklin's production came in the fourth quarter after the Jets turned to Tyrod Taylor under center. Taylor found Conklin for a two-point conversion after a Garrett Wilson touchdown, then Conklin caught a 20-yard touchdown pass to round out the scoring with 1:55 remaining. Two of Conklin's three highest yardage totals this season have come in the last two weeks and he set a season high in catches Sunday, giving him some late-season momentum ahead of the Week 18 finale against the Dolphins.
Conklin caught five of seven targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. Conklin finished nine receiving yards shy of Davante Adams' team-high total while tying Garrett Wilson for second on the team in targets, six back of Adams. This was Conklin's second-highest yardage total of the season, trailing only the 93 yards he compiled back in Week 3 against the Patriots. Conklin will play his penultimate game of the season in Week 17 against the Bills.
Conklin (personal) hasn't been listed on the Jets' injury reports during Week 16 prep. Conklin sat out this past Sunday's win at Jacksonville due to the birth of his child, but he has since joined his teammates in the meantime and will retain his standing as the team's top tight end. Through 13 games this season, he's posted a 36-317-2 line on 54 targets.
The Jets have downgraded Conklin (personal) from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Conklin hadn't been included on the Jets' Week 15 injury report until the team announced Saturday that he was questionable due to the personal matter. Though Conklin didn't travel with the team to Jacksonville, the Jets were leaving the door open for the tight end to make his own trip to Florida in advance of Sunday's game. Ultimately, Conklin didn't join the Jets for the Week 15 contest and will be held out for the first time this season, paving the way for Jeremy Ruckert to step in as the team's top tight end.
Conklin (personal) has been deemed questionable to suit up in Sunday's Week 15 matchup versus Jacksonville. Updating a previous report. Conklin has in fact been given a tag of questionable for Sunday as he deals with a personal matter. The tight end didn't travel with the Jets on Saturday, though it remains possible that he'll join the team in Jacksonville and suit up Sunday. New York elevated tight end Zack Kuntz from the practice squad Saturday to provide depth in the event Conklin can't play, and both Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah would like be in line for more work if that's the case.
Conklin did not travel with the team Saturday, but the hope is that he'll be able to arrive for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The Jets didn't change his injury status, so it's possible the seventh-year veteran will be able to join the team after the hopeful arrival of his first child, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports. Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah would likely split the workload should Conklin be unable to make the contest.
Conklin caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins. Conklin notched his second-highest yardage total since Week 5, topping the output from his previous game by one yard. He has been far outside the fantasy starter range in the majority of formats, though there's an inkling of upside here heading into a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Jaguars after Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 339 yards in the loss to Miami.
Conklin caught four of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks. Conklin's production in this game doesn't jump off the page, but it's still a clear improvement after he had just three catches for 12 yards over the previous three games combined. He has unsurprisingly struggled to find consistency as a secondary option in the underwhelming Jets passing offense. Heading into a Week 14 clash with the Dolphins, Conklin has caught 33 of 49 targets for 284 yards and two touchdowns.
Conklin caught one of two targets for seven yards and gained zero yards on his only carry in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. Conklin has been limited to just one catch in each of the past three games, producing a meager 12 yards over that span. Despite seeing consistent playing time thanks to his blocking skills, Conklin will be tough to trust from a fantasy perspective when the Jets return from their Week 12 bye.
