Tyler Conklin News
Friday, March 13, 12:49 PM
Free-agent tight end Tyler Conklin is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Detroit Lions on Friday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin will join the Lions, his fourth different team, for his ninth NFL campaign in 2026. The 30-year-old veteran played for the Los Angeles Chargers last year and caught only seven of his 10 targets for 101 yards and no touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (five starts) as a depth option. The former fifth-round pick (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan will likely be in a depth role again in his move to Motown, behind both Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck), leaving him avoidable in all fantasy football leagues. Conklin had a career-high 621 receiving yards in 2023 with the New York Jets, and he's never scored more than four times in a single season. He's caught a total of 270 passes in his career for 2,645 yards and 11 touchdowns across his eight seasons.

Dawson Knox News
Tuesday, March 10, 7:39 AM
The Buffalo Bills and Pro Bowl tight end Dawson Knox agreed to a new, undisclosed three-year contract on Tuesday, sources told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Knox was a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career back in 2022, when he caught 48 of 65 targets for 517 yards and six touchdowns in 15 starts. The 29-year-old has been much less intriguing for fantasy football purposes since the Bills drafted Dalton Kincaid in the first round in 2023. In the last three seasons with Knox sharing playing time with Kincaid, the 29-year-old has totaled 80 receptions on 118 targets for 914 yards and seven total touchdowns in 45 games (36 starts). Knox still has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen and is a key red-zone asset in the passing game, but unless Kincaid misses time with an injury in 2026, Knox will merely be a touchdown-dependent TE2 with limited upside.
