Conklin caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans. Conklin saw one fewer target than backup tight end Jeremy Ruckert, though the latter finished without a catch. Conklin was also on the field for 32 more offensive snaps than Ruckert. With just one catch in each of the Jets' first two games, Conklin looks like he'll be playing a smaller role in the passing game with Aaron Rodgers under center after racking up 87 targets in each of his first two seasons with the team. Conklin's involvement as a receiver will likely remain limited in Thursday's game against the Patriots.

Conklin caught one of two targets for six yards in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers. Conklin came up empty on his lone target from Aaron Rodgers, but he caught a pass from backup Tyrod Taylor on the Jets' final possession after Rodgers went to the bench with the game out of reach. No other Jets tight end drew a target, so at least Conklin's safely atop the depth chart, but his lack of targets from Rodgers was disappointing considering Conklin had at least three catches in all but four games last season. Conklin will look to bounce back Week 2 against the Titans.

I'm curious to see how Conklin does with a healthy Aaron Rodgers, and Conklin has earned exactly 87 targets for three years in a row. It wouldn't be a surprise if Conklin is second on the Jets in targets behind Garrett Wilson, and Conklin could be a low-end starter in PPR this year.

Conklin didn't play in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers. Conklin has been rested thus far in the preseason along with the Jets' other starting skill players on offense. The Jets haven't gotten much production from the tight end position in Conklin's absence during the exhibition slate, so the 29-year-old tight end seems safely locked into the top spot on the depth chart heading into the 2024 regular season, which will commence after the Jets round out their preseason Saturday, Aug. 24 against the Giants.

Conklin caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with 61 catches on 87 targets for 621 yards. Conklin finished with exactly 87 targets for the third consecutive season, and he caught exactly 61 of those passes for the second time in that stretch. After scoring three touchdowns in each of those previous two seasons, Conklin failed to find the end zone in 2023. He'll likely reprise his role atop the tight end depth chart in the final year of his contract with the Jets next season.
