From the episode

I'm a few spots higher on Hawk this week. Nineteen percent target share in the season. Seventy point five percent route share... Miami's fifth in adjusted points allowed the tight ends this year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Hockenson elevated with Jefferson banged up; Miami's TE defense weakness creates opportunity.

JJ Zachariason is a few spots higher on T.J. Hockenson this week. Hockenson has a 19% target share and 70.5% route share on the season. With Justin Jefferson banged up and Miami's pass rush ranked as really bad, the Vikings may use Hockenson as an extra receiver rather than for blocking. Miami allows bottom-five adjusted points to tight ends (third in PPR points per target allowed, first in yards per route run allowed), making this a favorable matchup.
