  • Seven grabs including TD in win

    Conklin caught seven of eight targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: After two quiet performances to begin the season, Conklin broke out in a big way Sunday, catching the first of Kirk Cousins' three TD passes on a seven-yard strike in the first quarter. The tight end is well behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen in the pecking order when it comes to the Minnesota passing game, but he appears to be firmly entrenched at the top of the depth chart at his own position heading into a Week 4 tilt against the Browns.

  • Two receptions Sunday

    Conklin had two receptions for 15 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: Conklin played 49 snaps on offense and went out for passes on 23 snaps (after playing 59 snaps and running 38 routes Week 1). He's the Vikings' clear top tight end, but he has a small role in the passing game as the Vikings have more prominently featured a third receiver (K.J. Osborn) more than previous seasons in the passing game. Conklin eventually could find more of a red-zone role with his size (6-foot-3).

  • Four receptions Sunday

    Conklin had four receptions on four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's overtime loss at Cincinnati.

    Analysis: With Irv Smith out for the season with a knee injury, Conklin moved into the top tight end role and played 59 snaps on offense, going out for a pass on 38 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. It was a slight negative that the Vikings utilized a third receiver (K.J. Osborn) more than usual in the passing game, but the Vikings also were playing much of the game from behind. Conklin may have a larger role if the team isn't playing behind, but he showed he'll be a part of the passing game and…read more

  • Puts in full practice

    Conklin (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: Conklin didn't suit up during the preseason due to a minor hamstring injury, which also limited him at Wednesday's practice. Now that he's put together an uncapped showing on the field, the Vikings will be going with Conklin, Chris Herndon, Brandon Dillon and Ben Ellefson at tight end, with Irv Smith out for the season following a meniscectomy.

  • Still limited by hamstring

    Conklin (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: Conklin dealt with a pair of injury concerns in training camp and the preseason. The current one is a mild hamstring injury, which kept him out of all three of Minnesota's exhibition games last month. In the wake of Irv Smith's season-ending meniscectomy in late August, Conklin elevated to the top of the depth chart at tight end, but ex-Jet Chris Herndon has since joined the group. Conklin, Herndon, Brandon Dillon and Ben Ellefson compose the Minnesota tight-end group heading into the campaign.

  • Under spotlight with Irv Smith out

    Conklin could see an expanded role at tight end after Irv Smith (knee) underwent a procedure Wednesday that will likely sideline him for the entire season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Vikings traded for Chris Herndon on Tuesday, but the team mostly seems to be counting on Conklin to shoulder the burden of the No. 1 tight end. Head coach Mike Zimmer mentioned that Smith's injury will impact formation usage, with the Vikings likely using more three-wide sets than they did last season when Smith, Conklin and Kyle Rudolph were all on the team. Still, Conklin could be looking at 50-plus snaps per week even in a more spread-out offense, given that Herndon, 2019 undrafted free…read more

  • Competition arrives

    Conklin (hamstring) is facing increased competition for snaps with the Vikings having traded for tight end Chris Herndon, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Conklin looks set to begin the regular season in a starting role while Irv Smith (knee) recovers from surgery, but it appears that the Vikings desire more security at the position. The severity of Smith's meniscus injury remains unclear, and there's a chance it could be season-ending, so the acquisition of Herndon could reflect those worries as much as it does concerns about Conklin's skill set. In any case, Herndon is coming off back-to-back disappointing seasons with the Jets and now faces…read more

  • Headed for Week 1 start

    Conklin (hamstring) is scheduled to return to practice Monday, while fellow Vikings tight end Irv Smith needs knee surgery, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: There's a chance Smith's surgery is season-ending, if it ends up being a meniscus repair rather than a meniscectomy/debridement. Meanwhile, Conklin's return Monday puts him on track for the start Week 1 at Cincinnati, after missing the past two weeks of practice and the final two preseason games. His solid performance last year had him locked in for the No. 2 spot at tight end this season, but while the Vikings may be comfortable using Conklin as a fill-in starter, Zimmer acknowledged Monday…read more

  • Chance to fill in for Smith

    Conklin, who hasn't played during the preseason as he deals with a hamstring injury, has a chance to see an expanded role, health permitting, with Irv Smith (knee) expected to miss time early on this season, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: With Kyle Rudolph no longer in the mix, Smith had been viewed as a possible fantasy breakout candidate in 2021. With that potential outcome on hold, Conklin could emerge as an option in deeper formats early on this season. Meanwhile, Brandon Dillon, Zach Davidson and Shane Zylstra are also currently in the Vikings' tight end mix.

  • Dealing with minor injury

    Conklin suffered a mild hamstring injury Monday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The tight end left practice early with a trainer but reportedly isn't expected to be out too long. Conklin is the Vikings' No. 2 tight end, with his solid performance late last season perhaps making it easier for the team to move on from Kyle Rudolph (now with the Giants) in the offseason. The role may entail only 2-4 targets per game, but Conklin could establish mainstream fantasy value if starter Irv Smith misses any time.

  • Returns from ankle injury

    Conklin (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Conklin was held out Monday through Wednesday with a minor injury. His cameo in the No. 2 TE spot went well at the end of last season, and he now figures to handle that role on a more permanent basis after the Vikings parted ways with Kyle Rudolph in the offseason. Conklin could even have mainstream fantasy relevance at some point this year if starting tight end Irv Smith misses time.

  • Misses third straight practice

    Conklin isn't practicing Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Conklin initially missed practice Monday, but he told reporters his ankle injury isn't serious. He's expected to work as Minnesota's No. 2 tight end, a role that could entail playing more than half the snaps on offense. With Conklin temporary unavailable, rookie fifth-round pick Zach Davidson should get a few more practice reps.

  • Seen having larger role

    Conklin drew praise in spring workouts from head coach Mike Zimmer, the team's official website reports. "It's a bigger role for Tyler Conklin [this season]. He's kind of emerged as a guy that's moving upward, and with those two guys (Conklin and Irv Smith), we have a lot of weapons there," said Zimmer.

    Analysis: With the departure of Kyle Rudolph, Conklin looks set to move up the depth chart and be used next to Irv Smith in two-tight end sets. Conklin had 15 receptions for 168 yards and a score over the last four games when Rudolph was out with an injury, supporting the notion he could carve out a role in the passing offense this season. Still, Conklin may be used more as a blocker with Smith likely to command most of the targets to the position.

  • Finishes season with 19 receptions

    Conklin completed the 2020 campaign catching 19 of his 26 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown.

    Analysis: In his third season with the Vikings, the 2018 fifth-round pick had career highs in receptions and yards. The tight end also scored his first NFL touchdown and began to show his ability as a pass catcher toward the end of the regular season after No. 2 tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) landed on IR. With Rudolph under contract through 2023 and 2019 second-rounder Irv Smith ahead of him on the depth chart, Conklin will have difficulty being a regular in Minnesota's offense as he enters the final…read more

  • Makes impact again in loss

    Conklin secured three of four targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 33-27 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old had a presence on the stat sheet for the second straight week, following up his solid 5-40 line against the Buccaneers with Sunday's showing, which included his first career touchdown. Conklin's elevated role over the last pair of contests is a direct byproduct of the absence of Kyle Rudolph (foot), so it would be difficult to trust it continuing were his veteran teammate to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Saints on Christmas Day.

  • Five receptions Sunday

    Conklin had five receptions for 40 yards on five targets in Sunday's 26-14 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Conklin played a season-high 45 snaps with Kyle Rudolph sidelined with a foot injury. He played more snaps than Irv Smith (28), but that may be only because Smith was coming back after missing two games with a back injury. Conklin could continue to be part of the passing game if Rudolph is out another week, but it won't be a surprise if Smith overtakes him for playing time.

  • Gains 10 yards in win

    Conklin caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: With Irv Smith (back) inactive, Conklin logged a season-high 59 snaps on offense (65 percent), landing just five snaps shy of Kyle Rudolph, who finished with no receptions on two targets. Conklin's getting plenty of usage when Smith is out of the lineup. If Smith returns in Week 14 against the Buccaneers, Conklin will shift back to a reserve role.

  • Makes two grabs

    Conklin caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Monday night's 19-13 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Conklin moved up the depth chart with Irv Smith (groin) sidelined and made his first couple receptions of the campaign. Should Smith remain out Sunday versus the Cowboys, Conklin would figure to assume a similar role, boosting his value despite his still-restricted ceiling.

  • No touches Sunday

    Conklin did not have a target in Sunday's 43-34 loss to Green Bay. He played just eight snaps on offense.

    Analysis: With both Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith healthy, Conklin is going to have a minimal role on offense and will get most of his snaps (12 on Sunday) on special teams.

  • Finishes with eight catches in 2019

    Conklin finished with eight receptions for 58 yards over 15 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: Conklin worked as the No. 3 right end behind Kyle Rudolph and rookie Irv Smith. The 24-year-old Conklin averaged 18.4 offensive snaps per game, running routes on 67.6 percent of those snaps. Since Rudolph and Smith are both under contract in 2020, Conklin won't warrant fantasy attention heading into next season.

  • Shakes off injury

    Conklin (knee) was a full participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Conklin had suffered the knee injury in the second quarter of Sunday's wild-card win over the Saints. His full practice availability suggests that, barring a setback this week, the Central Michigan product will be ready to go for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

  • Exits contest Sunday

    Conklin (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Conklin went up for a catch in the redzone in the second quarter and came up limping after missing the pass. He'll likely get additional treatment at the halftime break, but as long as he's sidelined, the only healthy tight ends for the Vikings are Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith Jr.

  • Catches three passes in win

    Conklin caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

    Analysis: Conklin now has seven catches for 49 yards over the last three contests after not recording a catch through his first seven games of the season. The 24-year-old played a season-high 35 offensive snaps Sunday, but he still saw fewer snaps than fellow tight ends Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith.

  • Two receptions Sunday

    Conklin had two receptions for 28 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Denver.

    Analysis: Conklin didn't have a reception and had just one target on the season before Sunday. With Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith playing well ahead of him on the depth chart, it's hard to see him getting more than a few targets per game. Still, his four targets over the last two games make him worth monitoring in deep formats.
