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.

Harold Fannin Jr. News
Tuesday, June 9, 10:41 AM
The Athletics Zac Jackson reports that Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) is absent from the team's minicamp practices this week and hasn't been seen at all this spring. The Browns haven't specified the reason for Fannin's absence, but he was dealing with a groin injury at the tail end of his first year in the NFL in 2025. It doesn't sound like the 21-year-old's injury issue is all that serious, but Fannin's status is certainly worth keeping a close eye on as Cleveland enters training camp at the end of July. The former third-rounder (67th overall pick) last year out of Bowling Green led the Browns in receiving with 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets in 16 games played in his first year in the NFL. Although Cleveland's quarterback situation still isn't exactly ideal, Fannin's pass-catching prowess has boosted him into low-end TE1 consideration as he heads into his sophomore season. He should once again be one of the focal points in the passing game for the Browns in 2026 as long as he's healthy.
