Should You Start or Sit Tyler Conklin in Week 16?
Conklin was inactive last week as he and his wife welcomed their first child into the world on Saturday night. There’s no health reason for him to not be with the team this week, but you can safely ignore the status of New York’s TE1.
Aaron Rodgers is looking at two players and two players only. Against the Jags, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson caught all three of his touchdown passes while accounting for 87.9% of his passing yards. Jeremy Ruckert got the start at tight end and did his best Conklin impression by turning three targets into 12 yards.
You can disagree with my novel on Rodgers, but I’d have to be really wrong for Conklin’s role to spike to that of a usable rate.
