T.J. Hockenson at New Orleans — High-Volume Momentum in the Superdome

Hockenson exploded last week with 13 receptions for 119 yards to help seal a victory, proving his value as a go-to target in the passing game. With Justin Jefferson nursing an ankle issue, Hockenson is positioned to maintain significant volume over the middle of the field as Minnesota's clear top tight end.

Our weekly projection calls for roughly 4.7 catches and 43 receiving yards (10.6 fantasy points). Fantasy managers have rapidly responded to his recent surge, pushing his start rate upward. While a projected defensive matchup in New Orleans could moderate total scoring, his elite target floor means fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

George Kittle vs. WAS — Primed for Heavy Involvement in Favorable Matchup

After battling through a severe illness last week, Kittle is off the injury report and ready for full responsibilities. With Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined by a hamstring injury and Mike Evans banged up, Kittle enters Monday night as one of Brock Purdy's primary targets against Washington.

Operating in an offense projected for plenty of scoring, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection lands at 14.8 fantasy points on five catches for 64 yards, providing a dependable floor alongside high touchdown ceiling.
