Tyler Conklin is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at tight end and an ADP draft value. Target Tyler Conklin as an undervalued TE in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~156 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~187
ANALYSIS: Tyler Conklin has remained a comparative afterthought as fantasy managers have selected the first 16 tight ends during Rounds 1-10 of current best ball drafts. However, Conklin is capable of functioning as a TE2 who delivers low-end TE1 output during various weeks of the season.
Conklin finished 13th at his position in targets during 2023 while accumulating 87 for the third consecutive season. He also rose to ninth in air yards (614) and 11th in receptions (61/3.6 per game). Conklin has also captured 21 contested targets since 2022, which places him second among tight ends, according to PFF.
The Jets also progressed through the offseason without infusing formidable competition for touches at Conklin’s position into the depth chart, which now contains Jeremy Ruckert, Kenny Yeboah, Zack Kuntz, and Anthony Firkser.

Aaron Rodgers is also positioned to spearhead the Jets offense, which expands the scoring potential for Conklin and New York’s other critical weapons. It is unlikely that the 40-year-old Rodgers can replicate the level of play that he delivered during his most proficient seasons.
However, the 10-time Pro-Bowler’s performances should easily transcend the substandard quarterback play that derailed the Jets' offense last season. That elevates Conklin as a tight end to prioritize when your drafts have advanced beyond Round 10.
