Fantasy Tiers

CeeDee Lamb: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR (ranked #11 at the position). Tyler Conklin: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 2 (Strong Starter) WR is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 5 (Deep League) TE in most league formats.

CeeDee Lamb vs Tyler Conklin: The Full Breakdown

Comparing CeeDee Lamb (WR, Dallas Cowboys) against Tyler Conklin (TE, New York Jets) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. CeeDee Lamb averaged 12.6 PPG in 2025 over 13 games, while Tyler Conklin posted 7.5 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

CeeDee Lamb has his bye in Week 14, Tyler Conklin in Week 12. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
