Tanner Conner Set for Expanded Role in Week 2
Miami Dolphins tight end Tanner Conner will be in line for more playing time in Week 2 against the Patriots since Darren Waller (hip) will miss a second straight week. In Week 1, Conner split time evenly with Julian Hill, each playing 58% of snaps. Conner was much more involved as a receiver, though, drawing four targets compared to zero for Hill. Conner only had two catches for 20 yards, though, as the Dolphins' offense sputtered in their loss to the Colts. Conner could be a short-yardage option for the Miami again this week, and the Patriots were a good matchup for tight ends in Week 1. However, he is still a very unproven option in a struggling offense, so he's not a strong play in Week 2. In the RotoBaller rankings, he's TE48.
