Outlook T.J. Hockenson

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

Hockenson exploded for 13 catches and 119 yards last week, demonstrating his vital role in Minnesota's 4-0 offense. Operating as the clear lead tight end with Josh Oliver sidelined on injured reserve, his underneath target share remains crucial, especially with Justin Jefferson nursing an ankle injury.

Our weekly projection forecasts a conservative baseline of four receptions for 38 yards against the Saints, but his actual weekly ceiling is much higher. After currently being started in only 15% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
