Tyler Conklin
TE
TE durability is rare because the position takes both pass-game contact and trench-level blocking reps. A 51-game streak across two franchises signals he survives the part of the job that doesn't show up in catches.
51 straight regular-season games played from 2021 to Week 14 of 2024.

From MIN backup to NYJ workhorse: 3 straight 700+ yd seasons starting in 2021.

Why it matters. His receiving production tripled the year he became a full-time starter, then held flat for 3 years. That curve is the standard NFL TE arc: invisible until trusted, then usable for a contract window.
MIN era: 927 yds in 4 yrs (mostly backup). NYJ era: 1,622 yds in 3 yrs as starter. LAC: 101 yds in 2025.

Why it matters. The team-by-team line shows a clean step-up from rotational backup (MIN) to starter (NYJ) to depth piece (LAC behind Will Dissly). That trajectory frames what a 2025 box score means: usage, not talent, is the variable.
His 621 yards in 2023 led all NYJ TEs that decade - and came in a year his QB room was a disaster.

Why it matters. Owning the top three TE seasons of the decade for a single franchise is unusual; it tells you NYJ ran no other credible option through him and he still produced through the 2023 Rodgers-Achilles disaster.
Only 6 TEs caught 50+ passes in each of 2022, 2023, AND 2024. He's one of them.

Why it matters. Sustaining starting-TE target volume across 3 seasons is what separates plug-and-play starters from rotation pieces, especially as the position trends younger. A 6-player club tells you he's been the median answer at the bar.
60+ catches, 0 receiving TDs in 2023 - only 1 other TE has done that since 2010.

Why it matters. Catch volume normally drags TD volume up because TEs see red-zone targets. A 60-catch, 0-TD season means the offense around him bypassed him at the goal line - useful context for fantasy and for reading 2025 LAC usage.
