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.

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.
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 should serve as a security blanket on Black Friday.
