    Is Tyler Conklin Playing in Week 8?

    Conklin was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and was listed with a hip injury. We don’t believe it to be serious, so he should be on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Jets’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Tyler Conklin in Week 8?

    Conklin found the end zone on a play that the Jets never wanted to take place (the coaching staff botched a chance to challenge if the play prior was a score). That was pretty much the only noteworthy play we saw from the tight end during Davante Adams’ debut (four catches for seven yards).

    Against the Steelers, Conklin’s on-field target share was under 12%, a low threshold that he has now failed to reach in the majority of games. He’s been useful in three of seven weeks this season. While that is a suitable hit rate, it’s not one that I’d bank on sustaining with this offense as it is currently constructed.

    If we see this offense click and generate red-zone drives on a consistent basis, we can have a discussion about streaming Conklin. But for now, there’s no need to keep him rostered. Hunter Henry, Noah Fant, and even Ja’Tavion Sanders are all options down the board that I like the short-term outlook of more.

    New York Jets at New England Patriots Insights

    New York Jets

    Team: The Jets were 4-3 through seven games last season and scored on 29.4% of their drives. They are 2-5 this season, scoring on 30.3% of their drives.

    QB: The quick hitters that Rodgers has thrived on in the past are gone. He’s thrown 123 passes in 2.7 seconds or less over the past four games, and none of them have resulted in a touchdown (four interceptions).

    Offense: During their four-game losing streak, the Jets have scored 61 points, including the Hail Mary to end the first half of Week 6 against the Bills.

    Defense: Only the Falcons (3.9) allow fewer yards per reception after the catch than the Jets (4.3).

    Fantasy: Breece Hall has two top-10 finishes since the coaching change (he had one top-10 week prior to it).

    Betting: Aaron Rodgers is 7-4 ATS for his career against the AFC East with unders cashing in eight of those 11 games.

    New England Patriots

    Team: The Patriots have lost four of their past five games by at least 16 points, and they lost four of their previous 56 regular-season games by at least 16 points.

    QB: Drake Maye has multiple touchdown passes and at least 15 rushing yards in each of his first two career starts – he joins Drew Lock (2019) and Bruce Gradkowski (2006) as the only QBs to do that over the past 20 seasons.

    Offense: The Patriots’ rushing success rate has been 8.8% since Drake Maye became the starting quarterback two weeks ago. No other offense has had a lower rate than 20% in that span.

    Defense: New England allowed 30 points in regulation through the first two weeks this season – since: 28.4 PPG.

    Fantasy: If you extend Hunter Henry’s numbers in Drake Maye’s starts for a full season, you’re looking at 94 catches for 1,131 yards and 8.5 touchdowns.

    Betting: The Patriots are the worst home ATS team since the start of the 2021 season (9-18-2, 33.3%).
