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.

Michael Mayer News
Friday, November 13, 1:11 PM
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer has been a productive secondary TE this season, but faces a tall task against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. The 25-year-old has caught 84.8% of his targets for 388 yards and one touchdown this season, continuing to get regular work even after Brock Bowers returned from injury in Week 3 and became the passing game's focal point. That being said, things get tricky against a Seahawks defense that is allowing 12.2 average yards to tight ends per game. Seattle also hasn't allowed a tight end touchdown since Trey McBride hauled in a score in Week 2, and he fared the best against the Seahawks with eight catches for 41 yards. Plus, it's unclear how much Mayer's target share will change since Kirk Cousins was traded to the Vikings and Fernando Mendoza is making his first professional start. RotoBaller ranks Mayer TE27, and he is a deep-league TE2 option only in Week 10.
