STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Conklin played just 6% of snaps; minimal role in Lions' 11 personnel shift.

Conklin played only 4 snaps (6%) in Week 2, a significant reduction from Week 1, as the Lions shifted toward 11 personnel packages that limit reserve tight end usage. His minimal snap count indicates he is not a factor in the current offensive scheme.
