Who Should I Start? Tyler Conklin or Dalton Kincaid

Former New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin heads to the AFC West after spending the last three years with the Jets, where he had 170 catches on 246 targets for 1,622 yards and seven touchdowns in 50 games (43 starts). While the 29-year-old did have a career-high four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last year, he had just 51 catches and 449 yards (his lowest total since 2020) on 72 targets. The former fifth-round selection (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan has the opportunity to be the Chargers' top pass-catching tight end in 2025, but he'll also be sharing playing time with Will Dissly. Dissly had a very similar 50-481-2 line to Conklin a year ago in L.A. Expect Conklin to be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy in his new home.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not practice on Monday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Kincaid suffered a hamstring injury in Week 10 and wasn't cleared to play in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old has two days left to get back on the practice field, but on a short week, his chances of playing on Thursday night against the Houston Texans could be slim. The Bills listed Kincaid as week-to-week last week, so fantasy managers should be preparing for him to miss a second straight game in Week 12. With Kincaid sidelined in Week 11, backup Dawson Knox played 75% of the offensive snaps but caught just one of his three targets for 23 yards despite the Bills hanging a 44 spot on the Bucs. If Kincaid misses another game, Knox should be considered a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in fantasy football.
