Conklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup with the Eagles, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season after he combined to log just two offensive snaps over the team's last two games. Oronde Gadsden and Will Dissly will handle all the work at tight end against Philadelphia.

Conklin caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin's catch against the Steelers was his first since Week 5, as the veteran tight end has not been a big part of the Chargers' offensive plans since the emergence of teammate Oronde Gadsden (quadriceps). With Gadsden sidelined due to an injury suffered in the third quarter, Conklin saw an uptick in his snap share. The 30-year-old played 23 of the Chargers' 73 offensive snaps after failing to play a single offensive snap in Week 9. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Gadsden is considered day-to-day, so it appears the issue won't be long term. If he does miss time, however, Conklin would be a candidate to operate as Los Angeles' top pass-catching tight end when the Chargers visit the Jaguars in Week 11.

Conklin did not register a target during the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tight end's offensive snap count dropped significantly in Week 6, due in large part to the return of Will Dissly. Conklin saw just three snaps on offense, well behind rookie fifth-rounder Oronde Gadsden (48), Tucker Fisk (27) and Dissly (26). Sunday marked the third time this season that Conklin did not record a catch and the second time he didn't register a target. The 2018 fifth-rounder's fantasy production figures to remain low unless Dissly or Gradsden were to miss time due to injury, illness or suspension.

Conklin caught two of his three targets for 30 yards in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin played dramatically fewer snaps (20) than rookie Oronde Gadsden (34), but Conklin at least capitalized on the few looks his way. The Chargers are dealing with numerous injuries to the offensive line which is forcing the tight ends to block more than they typically do. The issue, which won't be resolved in the near future, is impacting all of the tight end's fantasy value.

Conklin caught his only target for three yards in the 21-18 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Los Angeles losing another offensive lineman in Joe Alt (ankle) early, Conklin only played 12 offensive snaps, one fewer than Tucker Fisk, and significantly less than Oronde Gadsden (30). It appears that the rookie seems to have overtaken both veterans as the team's preferred move tight end, but that has come in the absence of Will Dissly, who has missed the past two games with a knee injury.

Conklin failed to haul in either of his two targets during the Chargers' 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin was expected to see an uptick in playing time due to the absence of Will Dissly (knee). It was Tucker Fisk who led the tight end room with 29 snaps on offense compared to Conklin and Oronde Gadsden (22 each). However, it was Gadsden who finished with five catches (on seven targets) for 46 yards while Conklin and Fisk went catchless. Conklin's role on the offense appears to be limited to blocking duties, with his two catches for 50 yards all coming in the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs. Up next for Conklin and the Chargers is a Week 4 road clash against the Giants.

With Will Dissly (knee) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Conklin appears to be in line for an increased offensive role.

EDGE Analysis

Dissly has played 49 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps through two games and has secured both of his targets for 25 scoreless yards. Conklin has played 46 percent of the snaps on offense and has recorded two catches for 50 yards. While Conklin seems likely to see an uptick in playing time against Denver, rookie Oronde Gadsden could also simply slide into that other 50 percent of the snap share. Conklin isn't an exciting fantasy target.

Conklin did not record a target in the 20-9 win over the Raiders on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin once again played more than Will Dissly (29 compared to 23), but neither tight end was featured much in the passing game. So long as Justin Herbert continues to have this level of command on the offense, it's clear the team wants to feature their excellent trio of wide receivers whenever possible.

Conklin secured both of his targets for 50 yards during the Chargers' 27-21 win over the Chiefs on Friday night. He also rushed once for two yards.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin made the most of his limited opportunities in the receiving game Friday, while top wideouts Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston combined for a total of 26 of 34 possible targets. Conklin also played just 43 percent of offensive snaps, while fellow tight end Will Dissly (targeted once for an 18-yard gain) played 57 percent of snaps. Even in what preliminarily looks like a more pass-friendly offense led by Justin Herbert, Conklin and Dissly likely won't be major factors in the receiving game given Los Angeles' depth at wide receiver. They project to again split reps at tight end versus the Raiders on Monday night in Week 2.

Conklin failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 27-13 preseason win over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Conklin was the first tight end to see action with starter Will Dissly sitting out the Chargers' second exhibition. The seven-year pro figures to assume the No. 2 role come Week 1, with Sunday's playing time distribution all but confirming that. Conklin doesn't offer much fantasy upside at this point of his career, especially in a backup role for his new squad.
