T.J. Hockenson
TE - Minnesota Vikings
Availability
Last week, Hockenson didn't have this every down role that Kevin O'Connell foreshadowed as he had a 52.4% route share, an 11.4% target share, 1.29 YPRR (27 receiving yards), and a 4.5% first-read share. It's tough to count on Hockenson as anything more than a dice roll TE2 this week despite the nice matchup. Jacksonville has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game and the 14th-most receiving yards per game to tight ends.
T.J. Hockenson added to the offense with three receptions for 27 yards on four targets, averaging 9 yards per catch. He had a red-zone target but it was picked off. He also had seven additional receiving yards wiped away because of a penalty.
In his season debut, Hockenson ran a route on 57.5% of dropbacks accompanied by 27 air yards, 10.93% air yards share, 15.15% target share. Expect his role to increase. Buy. The single best matchup for tight ends is coming up for him next against the Jaguars.
