Tyler Conklin - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin has consistently been the third receiving option for the team all season, but with the early exit of wide receiver Adam Thielen in Week 13, it was expected that K.J. Osborn would take up Thielen's targets. While Osborn did score a touchdown, it was Conklin that ended the game second in targets, receptions and receiving yards behind only Justin Jefferson. With Thielen ruled out for the Thursday night matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, if Conklin can resume the role of quarterback Kirk Cousins' second option, he will be a fine streaming tight end for those dealing with bye weeks in Week 14. Conklin should project as a high-end TE2 even in a matchup against a Steeler defense that is ninth toughest against opposing tight ends.
