FantasyPros Articles on T.J. Hockenson
From the article
T.J. Hockenson benefited the most from Jefferson's absence. Hockenson hauled in a career-high 13 receptions for 119 yards and is the current TE1 for the week. While it's nice to see Hockenson still has this type of performance in his bag, I'm hesitant to chase it. Jefferson could return as early as this week, pushing Hockenson back to the third option.
STACKED’s take
Hockenson's 13-catch, 119-yard game is likely a one-week spike if Jefferson returns.
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson benefited from Justin Jefferson's ankle injury absence in Week 4, hauling in a career-high 13 receptions for 119 receiving yards and scoring 18.4 fantasy points to become the TE1 for the week. He could have scored even more had he not taken a knee at the 1-yard line at the end of the game. However, this is a one-game sample size, and Jefferson could return as early as this week, which would push Hockenson back to the third option on a Kyler Murray-led offense. While Hockenson demonstrated he still has this type of performance capability, chasing this breakout is risky; better long-term options are likely available on the waiver wire.
