T.J. Hockenson | Fantasy Outlook

Draft Cost Slumps Following Viral Offseason Conditioning Concerns

T.J. Hockenson enters the upcoming campaign surrounded by questions after an offseason video raised eyebrows regarding his conditioning. His draft price has plummeted over the past month, stabilizing at an ADP of around 150 overall in PPR formats. This represents a significant discount compared to his historical mid-round cost, transforming him into a high-upside falling asset for managers willing to stomach the volatility.

Operating as the clear top pass-catching tight end on the depth chart ahead of Josh Oliver, Hockenson is projected to haul in 64 receptions for 575 yards and three touchdowns over the course of the season. Our models suggest that his current market price undervalues his baseline target share, making him an intriguing late-round value play for fantasy rosters.

While recent reports and his modest ownership percentages around 61 percent point toward fading fantasy trust, his proven track record in high-powered offenses keeps his ceiling intact. Managers should view him as a potential TE2 with paths to outperform his suppressed draft-day expectations if he shakes off the early summer training concerns.
