Tyler Conklin's fantasy outlook: Should you start the unpredictable New York Jets tight end?

Tyler Conklin is a tight end with the New York Jets. He performed admirably in Week 8's matchup with the New England Patriots. Conklin was targeted ten times while playing the majority of the day while trailing. In the defeat, he hauled in six catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns. This was his greatest performance since joining the team.

If you don't have Mark Andrews or Travis Kelce on your team, tight end is probably the toughest spot in fantasy football for you to find a regular producer. Conklin is worth a pickup in some leagues, even though he's expected to have some off days. Part of his problem is that the Jets utilize a run-heavy offense. For those trying to navigate injuries or bye weeks, Conklin is a reliable streaming option.

Week 9's game against the Buffalo Bills will probably be a pass-heavy one, as the game-script is likely going to favor the Bills. Thus, Conklin could have another high-volume game. Considering the above, we recommend starting Tyler Conklin in Week 9.

Tyler Conklin's season thus far

For Conklin, this season has been one of peaks and valleys. With Joe Flacco running the Jets' offense, he started the year by producing respectable fantasy numbers. However, Conklin's statistics have significantly decreased following Zach Wilson's return in Week 4.

The tight end has caught 32 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns this season. He has proven that when targeted he can deliver and deserves a greater number of looks than he normally receives. It will be interesting to see if quarterback Zach Wilson starts to utilize his tight end more as the season progresses.

In a Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, the New York Jets will likely have to score a lot of points to stay in the game. Tyler Conklin should benefit if the Jets keep throwing the ball frequently in this upcoming game.
