Tyler Conklin Agrees To One-Year Deal With Chargers

Friday, March 21, 10:24 PM

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.

Elijah Arroyo News

Elijah Arroyo an Afterthought Until Playing Time Increases

Friday, September 12, 3:20 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo is not worth rostering, let alone starting in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Arroyo played just 31% of the snaps in Week 1. He is going to take time to work into the offense. The athletic and talented young rookie has a chance to push for more touches as the season wears on, but he is squarely behind AJ Barner in the tight end pecking order. However, each week fantasy managers should keep an eye on his snap share. If that rises, a substantial role in the offense will be predictable. Until then, he is better left on waivers.
