Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley, Tyler Conklin

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson, who has been limited all week with an elbow injury, is questionable for Sunday, with Robert Saleh saying he feels good about him (and many of the other questionables) playing.

Related Players: Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, Tyler Conklin

If Garrett Wilson were to miss, no one else on this team outside of Breece Hall could be trusted in fantasy. Lazard has looked awful this year and the rotation behind him is very thin.

One pleasant surprise thus far in camp has TE Tyler Conklin. Coming off his best season of his career last season with the Minnesota Vikings, Conklin has quickly built a strong connection in camp with QB Zach Wilson.

The story went on to say the early look is that Conklin will be a favorite red-zone target for the Jets’ offense. He may quietly have yet another career year in his first season with the Jets. The Jets also have former Bengal Uzomah who is a red zone target himself, along with the rookie Ruckert. Conklin is well down our TE list at 29th, so right now he's only a consideration in deeper leagues, or those that utilize multiple TE slots.

The New Your Jets have signed TE Tyler Conklin.

Conklin has played more as a back-up than starter, but has shown he can be fantasy-viable in spurts. He should run behind Uzomah in terms or routes, targets, and catches, and will be asked to block more.

Vikings TE Tyler Conklin (hamstring) is questionable for Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers.

With Sean Mannion starting, Conklin has little value outside of a dump-off option. Avoid Conklin if you can.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) will not play Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is questionable.

Related Players: Justin Jefferson, K.J. Osborn, Alexander Mattison, Kene Nwangwu, Tyler Conklin

The short week was going to keep Thielen out. While Obsorn is expected to start in Thielen's place, do not be surprised if Tyler Conklin gets more run.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen didn't practice on Tuesday while RB Dalvin Cook was limited.

Related players: Alexander Mattison, Tyler Conklin, K.J. Osborn

Cook, of course, is dealing with a shoulder injury. He was listed as DNP Monday so this is a potential trend in the right direction for Thursday's game with Pittsburgh, but owners probably shouldn't get hopes up just yet. If Cook can't go, it would mean an RB1-type workload for Mattison. Meanwhile, Thielen didn't practice for the second-straight day meaning his status continues to not look good on the short week as he's dealing with his ankle injury. Reports say he's not expected to play, so it should be another big day for Justin Jefferson with Conklin and Osborn also getting more looks.

Vikings TE Irv Smith Jr. is out 4-5 months after undergoing surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his knee, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Related Players: Tyler Conklin, Chris Herndon

The Chris Herndon acquisition by Minnesota confirms the rumors of an extended absence for Smith. Sadly, this surgery and its recovery timeline likely mean Smith will miss the 2021 season.

Vikings TE Tyler Conklin has the wrapping off his injured hamstring.

Thomasson added all indications are Conklin could be doing some practicing this week. He also added that's good news with Smith Jr. hurt and potentially missing some time. We have Conklin next up on the depth chart behind Smith Jr.
