T.J. HockensonTEMIN
The source notes that Hockenson took a $15 million pay cut to remain with the Vikings this season and may have a bounce-back opportunity. However, increased fullback usage under Frank Smith could reduce his snap count, as the source identifies Hockenson as a potential area where snaps could be reallocated. The source suggests Jennings, as a WR/TE hybrid, could take some snaps from Hockenson if the Vikings prefer his receiving/blocking combination, leaving room for fullback Max Bredeson to play roughly a third of offensive snaps.
