Tyler Conklin - Page 13 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Questionable after full practice Conklin (hamstring) turned in a full practice Friday but will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's game in Green Bay, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact For the first time all season, Conklin heads into game day with a designation, though his ability to take every rep Friday bodes well for his chances of avoiding the inactive list. Assuming Conklin gets the green light to play, he could prove to be a trusted safety valve underneath for fill-in starting quarterback Sean Mannion, who is less likely to take chances downfield than Kirk Cousins. With Cousins on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Friday, the Vikings could struggle to keep pace with a high-powered Green Bay offense in the rematch of a game that produced 65 points between the teams in Week 11, though Conklin may be less likely than wideouts Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn to be hindered from a production standpoint.

Questionable for SNF Conklin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Conklin has a shot to play after his Thursday return to practice, but there'll be some extra risk if he's a game-time decision with the Packers and Vikings playing Sunday night (8:20 p.m. ET kickoff). There's also the matter of Sean Mannion replacing Kirk Cousins (reserve/COVID-19) at QB, though it might impact a short-area possession target like Conklin less than it affects WRs Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn. All of it makes Conklin a risky Week 17 fantasy play, while Chris Herndon and Luke Stocker likely will form some kind of timeshare if the Vikings' starting tight end is inactive Sunday night.

Bumps up to limited Thursday Conklin (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Conklin showed some progress Thursday after not handling any practice reps one day prior as he deals with a hamstring issue. While he's on a path to gain clearance to play ahead of a Week 17 matchup at Green Bay, it's unclear whether it may happen on Friday's injury report or 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Dealing with hamstring issue Conklin didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Aside from having practice limitations during Week 4 prep due to glute and elbow issues, Conklin has avoided Vikings injury reports this season. His weekly numbers mostly has been modest, but he still has put together a 54-540-3 line on 74 targets, which easily surpasses the 32-329-1 line on 43 targets that he combined for in his first three campaigns. Assuming he's able to put the issue behind him by Sunday night's game at Green Bay, Conklin could be in line for more volume following the placement of Adam Thielen (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Back on track in Week 16 Conklin caught four of his five targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Rams.

Impact Conklin had caught at least two passes in every single game this season until he was held to just one catch for seven yards against the Bears in Week 15. However, the tight end bounced back against the Rams to notch his seventh game with at least four catches and his seventh game with at least 40 yards receiving. Through 15 games, the 26-year-old has totaled 54 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns. Conklin caught all three of his targets for 35 yards during the Vikings' first meeting with the Packers and will likely see a similar workload during the rematch in Week 17.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to one catch Conklin brought in one of three targets for seven yards in the Vikings' 17-9 win over the Bears on Monday night.

Impact The emerging tight end had a rough night, one which was more or less emblematic of the struggles of the Vikings passing game as a whole. Conklin has established new career highs across the board this season, but he's now been limited to no more than three receptions and 35 receiving yards in five of the last six contests. Conklin's next chance to boost his production comes in a Week 16 home matchup against the Rams that will be critical to Minnesota's playoff hopes.

Quiet Week 14 Conklin caught both his targets for 20 yards during Thursday's 36-28 win over the Steelers.

Impact Conklin appeared poised for a larger role in the passing game with Adam Thielen (ankle) sidelined, but Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn were targeted on 24 of Kirk Cousins' 31 pass attempts. The two targets were a season low for Conklin, though it's the sixth time this year he's finished below 30 receiving yards.

Nine targets in loss Conklin caught seven of nine targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to Detroit.

Impact The nine targets set a new highwater mark for Conklin this season, which was due in large part to the absence of Adam Thielen (ankle), who left the contest early in the first quarter. The 25-year-old's seven receptions also tied his season high this year, and he figures to see a small uptick in attention from Kirk Cousins for as long as Thielen is sidelined. Conklin would make for a strong bye week fill-in option Thursday against the Steelers if the Vikings are forced to play without their No. 2 wideout.

Posts 25 yards in loss Conklin caught two of his three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Conklin has caught multiple passes in every game this season and has totaled 40 receptions for 413 yards and three touchdowns through 11 contests. The 25-year-old has solidified a nice role as the Vikings' No. 1 passing catching tight end with Irv Smith (knee) out for the season. He will likely remain a high-floor fantasy option against the Lions in Week 12.

35 yards in win Conklin caught all three of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Impact Conklin fell back down to earth following his two-touchdown game in Week 10, finishing fifth in targets among Minnesota receiving options. The 25-year-old is still the clear-cut starter for the Vikings and has provided deep-league value with 388 yards and three touchdowns through 10 contests. Conklin will have his work cut out for him against the 49ers' athletic coverage linebackers next Sunday.

Finds end zone twice in win Conklin caught three of five targets for 11 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

Impact He didn't see a lot of action between the 20s, but the tight end caught a five-yard TD strike from Kirk Cousins in the second quarter and a one-yard score in the third, accounting for both the QB's touchdowns on the afternoon. Conklin came into the game with only one TD on the year, but he's seen at least five targets in four straight games, giving his fantasy value some stability heading into a Week 11 clash with the Packers.

Five receptions in loss Conklin had five receptions for 57 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Dallas.

Impact Conklin continues to have a steady role in the passing offense as he's had five or more targets in four of his last five games. He has just one touchdown this season, but at 6-foot-3 he still could emerge as a red-zone target.

Tyler Conklin high-points contested jump-ball for 31-yard catch Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin high-points a contested jump-ball for a 31-yard catch on third down

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • NFL.COM

New season high in yards Conklin had three receptions (five targets) for 71 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Panthers.

Impact Conklin surpassed his previous single-game high in yards this season by one yard, doing most of his damage on a big 40-yard play. The 26-year-old remains the starting tight end for Minnesota, but his lack of targets (five per game) and red zone looks (just three this season) caps his fantasy potential. However, Conklin appears to be a solid bye week fill-in once he returns from Minnesota's upcoming bye week due to his consistent, albeit low, usage.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Just two receptions Sunday Conklin had two receptions for 26 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Detroit.

Impact Conklin's low output (a season low in targets) was probably due to Minnesota's conservative game plan that turned to the running game in the second half. However, Conklin played on 50 of the offense's 67 snaps, and went out for a pass on 26 plays, about his season average. He has a stable role in the passing offense, but his upside may be limited by a lack of targets.
