Conklin caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with 61 catches on 87 targets for 621 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Conklin finished with exactly 87 targets for the third consecutive season, and he caught exactly 61 of those passes for the second time in that stretch. After scoring three touchdowns in each of those previous two seasons, Conklin failed to find the end zone in 2023. He'll likely reprise his role atop the tight end depth chart in the final year of his contract with the Jets next season.

Conklin secured all five targets for 46 yards in the Jets' 37-20 loss to the Browns on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Conklin's catch total tied him for second on the night for the Jets, and the veteran tight end checked in as the runner-up in receiving yards as well. Conklin is heading into the regular-season finale against the Patriots on Jan. 7 on a solid run of production, as he's posted at least four catches in four consecutive games while drawing no fewer than five targets since Week 11.

Conklin caught four of seven targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tight end finished third on the Jets in catches, targets and receiving yards, but his production and usage paled in comparison to Breece Hall (12-96-0 on 16 targets) and Garrett Wilson (9-76-0 on 15 targets.) Conklin has found a steady role in the offense no matter who's been under center for New York, hauling in three or four passes in five straight games on between five and nine targets. However, he's still looking for his first touchdown of 2023 heading into a Week 17 clash with the Browns.

Conklin caught four of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Conklin led the team in targets and receiving yards, but nobody on the Jets reached 30 receiving yards as neither Zach Wilson (head) nor Trevor Siemian led any scoring drives. Conklin has caught at least four passes in eight of 14 games, but the veteran tight end has yet to record a touchdown this season. Siemian hasn't thrown a touchdown on 39 pass attempts in 2023, so Conklin's unlikely to snap the touchdown drought in Week 16 against the Commanders, especially if Wilson's unable to play after leaving the loss to Miami in the first half.

Conklin caught four of six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Conklin filled his customary role as the distant third option in New York's passing game behind Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, who combined for 17 catches, 194 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets. While Conklin has reached 50 receiving yards in six games this season, he has yet to surpass 70 yards in a game or score a touchdown heading into a Week 15 road game against the Dolphins.

Conklin (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans after logging a full practice Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Conklin upgraded to full participation Friday. He'll work as the top tight end for the Jets on Sunday against a Texans defense that has allowed a league-high 81 receptions to the position group.

Conklin (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following back-to-back capped sessions to start the week, Conklin may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. In the Jets' 13-8 loss to the Falcons in Week 13, Conklin logged a team-high nine targets but hauled in only three of them for 35 yards.

Conklin (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new injury for Conklin. Soft-tissue injuries can be tricky to navigate, but it's encouraging that he was able to practice in some capacity Wednesday. If Conklin can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid the injury report ahead of Sunday's home game against the Texans. With C.J. Uzomah (knee) going on injured reserve Wednesday, the Jets' tight end depth chart behind Conklin consists of Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah, who returned from a hamstring injury of his own Wednesday.

Conklin caught three of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Conklin actually led the Jets in targets, but he finished third in receiving yards behind Xavier Gipson (77) and Garrett Wilson (50). Regardless of whether Tim Boyle, Trevor Siemian or Zach Wilson starts in Week 14 against the Texans, New York's quarterback will likely have to check it down to Conklin often given the offensive line's inability to buy time and the team's lack of receiving depth.

Conklin caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Conklin finished second behind Garrett Wilson (44) in receiving yards and third behind Wilson (10) and Breece Hall (nine) in targets, as the Jets' offense looked no better in Tim Boyle's first start of 2023 under center. Wide receiver Allen Lazard was a healthy inactive after his recent issues with drops, so Conklin is the clear No. 3 option behind Wilson and Hall in New York's struggling offense heading into a Week 13 home game against the Falcons.
