Who Should I Start? Tyler Conklin or Trey McBride

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.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught five of his nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win against the Dallas Cowboys. McBride has now caught four touchdowns in three games with Jacoby Brissett as the starter, compared to three touchdowns in 22 games with Kyler Murray as the starter since last season. The 25-year-old superstar also became the first tight end in NFL history to record at least five receptions in the first eight games of a season. McBride racks up a ton of volume underneath and is one of the best YAC threats at the position, plus Brissett seems to be unlocking his ability in the red zone. McBride will again rank as a top two tight end option for Arizona's Week 10 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
