Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday for Week 17 versus the Green Bay Packers.
Conklin registered a season-high 97% offensive snap share last week, so the Vikings may just be giving him a maintenance day for their first Week 17 practice. Conklin caught 4 passes on 5 targets for 44 yards on his season-high snap share last week. He has had three or more receptions in 10 of his 15 games, and Conklin also has 25-plus yards or a touchdown in 10 contests.
The Packers are ranked 20th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the tight end position this season. numberFire's models currently project Conklin for 4.9 targets versus the Packers in Week 17 and he is the TE19 in our weekly fantasy rankings. He ranks 10th in routes (425) among tight ends for the year, 10th in routes (127) since Week 13, and 4th in routes (40) in Week 16.
