Who Should I Start? Gerald Everett or Tyler Conklin

Monday, July 22, 9:02 AM

Chicago Bears tight end Gerald Everett is being activated from the non-injury football list on Monday according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The former Charger is getting activated just in time for the start of training camp as he'll go up against Cole Kmet and Marcedes Lewis for his spot on the depth chart this year. The Bears put a lot of weapons in the passing game surrounding rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, so Everett will have a much tougher time racking up enough stats to be fantasy-relevant compared to last year.

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught five of his seven targets for 59 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Conklin surprisingly finished second on the Jets in receiving yards, just nine behind leader Davante Adams in the low-scoring loss. The veteran tight end has shown a nice floor in PPR leagues of late, catching 12 passes on 17 targets over his past three games. While he only has two touchdowns on the season, Conklin may be worth a look as a deep-league streaming option against the Buffalo Bills if desperate in Week 17.
