Conklin caught two of three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the season with 51 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns on 72 targets.
The highlight of Conklin's season came in the finale, as he was the recipient of Aaron Rodgers' 500th career regular-season touchdown pass on a five-yard score in the second quarter. That was Conklin's fourth receiving touchdown of the season, establishing a new career high for the 29-year-old tight end. He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after four years in Minnesota and three with the Jets.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Active in Week 18
Rotowire
Conklin (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Dolphins.
The veteran tight end got in only a limited Friday practice this past week, but he'll be available in his usual No. 1 tight-end role versus the Dolphins as the Jets aim to play spoiler for Miami's thin playoff hopes. Conklin needs only one reception to hit the 50-catch mark for the fourth straight season, including a third consecutive in as many Jets seasons.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Questionable after limited practice
Rotowire
Conklin (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin mustered a limited practice Friday after being a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday to give himself a shot at suiting up. If he's unable to play Sunday, Conklin would finish the season with 49 catches for 433 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets. Jeremy Ruckert would be the top candidate for increased playing time in that scenario.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Not seen at Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Conklin (calf) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin also was deemed a non-participant Wednesday, which gives him one more opportunity to practice ahead of Sunday's season finale against the Dolphins. If Conklin is limited or out this weekend, Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah would be candidates to see added Week 18 tight end snaps and targets for the Jets.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Misses practice with calf issue
Rotowire
Conklin didn't practice Wednesday due to a calf injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin is coming off arguably his best game of the season, as he caught all eight targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' Week 17 loss to the Bills. The veteran tight end appears to have picked up a calf injury, however, and he'll likely need to return to practice by the end of the week in order to be able to suit up in the Jets' season finale Sunday versus Miami. If Conklin's calf injury ultimately prevents him from playing, Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah would both be likely to get more offensive snaps against the Dolphins.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Season-high eight catches in loss
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Five catches in Week 16
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Good to go moving forward
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Officially questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Three catches in Week 14
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Dolphins have been awful against opposing tight ends lately with five scoring 8.4 PPR points in their past four games. Conklin just had four catches for 32 yards on five targets in Week 13 against Seattle, and he could be an option for Fantasy managers in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Signs of life in loss
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Held to one catch again
Rotowire
Conklin (ankle) caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.
Conklin played 45 offensive snaps to Jeremy Ruckert's 20, but both Jets tight ends got only two targets, with Kenny Yeboah adding a catch on one of his five snaps. After a six-game stretch in which Conklin averaged 5.7 targets, he has turned four targets into just five yards over the past two games. He'll look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Colts.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Listed as active Sunday
Rotowire
Conklin (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Though Conklin was deemed a full practice participant by the Jets on Friday, he was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 10 active status confirmed, Conklin should continue to lead a tight-end corps that also includes Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah. In that capacity, Conklin -- who caught one of his two targets for minus-3 yards in a Week 9 win over the Texans -- has compiled a 27/237/2 receiving line on 40 targets through nine contests to date, a rate of production that keeps him on the radar at his position in deeper fantasy formats

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Questionable despite full practice
Rotowire
Conklin practiced fully Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona due to an ankle injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin didn't appear on the Jets' Week 10 practice report until Friday, but the uncapped session wasn't enough to cement his status for the contest. He seems likely to suit up nonetheless, but it won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Conklin is inhibited or even inactive, though, TEs Jeremy Ruckert and, to a lesser extent, Kenny Yeboah would stand to benefit.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: One catch in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Conklin caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
Conklin played 45 of the Jets' 58 snaps on offense, while Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah combined to play 25, but each of the three tight ends finished with one catch. Aaron Rodgers directed 25 of his 32 passes to either Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams or Breece Hall, and those three will likely continue to account for the vast majority of the Jets offense moving forward. After having a modest two-game touchdown streak snapped Thursday, Conklin will look to start building a new one Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see if Conklin starts to fade with his production now that Davante Adams is with the Jets, but Conklin has scored a touchdown in each of the past two games with Adams on the roster. Allen Lazard's chest injury could benefit Conklin, and he's worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB heading into Week 9 against the Texans.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: Two-game TD streak
Rotowire
Conklin caught three of four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Conklin's two-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter gave him a two-game touchdown streak following a 32-game scoring drought. He finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (113) and Davante Adams (54), while no other Jets teammate had more than 14. Conklin will maintain some upside as a secondary option in the Jets' top-heavy passing attack Thursday against the Texans.

Jets' Tyler Conklin: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Conklin had five catches for 93 yards on six targets against the Patriots in Week 3, but New England is getting better against tight ends lately. The Patriots held Dalton Schultz to four catches for 27 yards on eight targets in Week 6, and Evan Engram only had five catches for 35 yards on five targets in Week 7. Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson will hopefully start to dominate targets from Aaron Rodgers, and Conklin is only worth using in deeper leagues.
