Fantasy Football Draft Outlook: Sleepers

T.J. Hockenson (MIN)

T.J. Hockenson would have been drafted as a top-six tight end in the vast majority of 2024 fantasy leagues if he hadn’t torn his ACL and MCL on Dec. 24, putting his early-season availability for the new season in doubt. It’s possible that the recovery from multiple ligament tears will keep Hockenson out until around midseason, and that he won’t be his typically impactful self immediately upon his return. A healthy Hockenson is a fantasy difference-maker. He had 86 catches for 914 yards and six touchdowns in 2022, good for a TE2 finish in PPR fantasy scoring behind only Travis Kelce. Hockenson was having an even better season in 2023, with 95 catches for 960 yards and five touchdowns before the injury. Monitor the reports on Hockenson’s recovery throughout the offseason, and resist the temptation to overspend on a player trying to come back from major knee surgery.
