Outlook T.J. Hockenson

T.J. Hockenson at Tampa Bay: Reliable Target Over the Middle

Hockenson continues to serve as Minnesota's primary tight end, working alongside Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in an offense led by Kyler Murray. Through the first two games, Hockenson has caught seven of nine targets for 65 yards and a touchdown, demonstrating dependable intermediate reliability.

Rostered in roughly 60% of fantasy leagues but started in just 18%, he provides a stable PPR floor for managers in need of tight end help. Our weekly projections anticipate approximately four receptions for 36 yards against the winless Buccaneers, keeping him firmly in play as a reliable streaming option whose weekly ceiling climbs if he finds the end zone.
