The New York Jets will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Tyler Conklin.
Is Tyler Conklin Playing in Week 7?
Conklin was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and was listed with a hip injury. We don’t believe it to be serious, so he should be on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Jets’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tyler Conklin in Week 7?
Conklin’s snap rate is at a career-high, and while the production is hit-and-miss, being on the field is a good place to start. The Steelers are as stingy a defense as there is, but that doesn’t mean they shut down the chain-moving tight end.
Brock Bowers and Jake Ferguson are a tier above Conklin, though it is worth noting that the tandem combined for 29.1 PPR fantasy points and caught 15 of 17 targets. Conklin isn’t going to be featured by the Jets or the Steelers — and that might be good enough for him to grind out a double-digit PPR point total.
