Outlook Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner vs GB — Expanded Complementary Role with Henderson Sidelined
With TreVeyon Henderson ruled out due to an illness, Kiner steps up as the direct backup behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson. Kiner has looked efficient with limited work, averaging 4.6 yards per carry over his last two contests, but he operates almost exclusively as an early-down runner with zero recorded targets during that stretch.
New England is favored by 3 at home in what could be a run-friendly environment. Our models project Kiner for roughly 7 carries and 38 rushing yards (around 4.7 fantasy points). While Henderson's absence gives him a modest boost in touch volume, his lack of pass-game involvement leaves him strictly as a touchdown-dependent deep-league play.

Outlook T.J. Hockenson
T.J. Hockenson vs. BUF — Reliable Target in Primetime Matchup
Fully healthy and operating as Minnesota's clear primary tight end, Hockenson has found the end zone in back-to-back games, logging eight catches for 93 yards and two scores over his last two outings. With starting quarterback Kyler Murray sidelined by a hamstring injury, Hockenson will be catching passes from backup Carson Wentz.
Even with the quarterback downgrade, our models project him for about 4.1 receptions and 38 yards, giving him roughly 9.8 fantasy points. In a matchup between two 6–1 teams where Minnesota enters as slight home underdogs, Hockenson serves as an essential safety valve and remains a strong start in all fantasy leagues.
