Outlook T.J. Hockenson
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.

Outlook Kyle Pitts Sr.
Kyle Pitts Sr. vs. Bears — Building Momentum in a Potential Shootout
After a slow start to the year, Pitts has trended upward recently by securing eight of nine targets for 89 yards and his first touchdown of the season over his last two games. Remaining the top tight end on Atlanta's depth chart with Michael Penix Jr. under center, he is carving out more reliable involvement.
This week’s home tilt against Chicago features an enticing 51.5 over/under, signaling plenty of scoring opportunities. Our weekly projection forecasts Pitts for 2.8 receptions, 34.9 yards, and 7.8 fantasy points. Even with his start rate hovering near 31% due to early-season hesitation, Pitts is a solid streaming candidate with upside in high-scoring formats.
