T.J. Hockenson Week 13 Outlook - Jets at Vikings

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 1st 2022, 1:05pm EST

Hockenson has been a volume behemoth since arriving in Minnesota with a 22.1% target share (8.5 targets per game) and 14.2% air yard share. The problem is he hasn't done much with it. Since Week 9 among 23 tight ends (minimum eight targets), he's 19th in PFF receiving grade, 17th in yards per route run, and 19th in YAC per reception. Hockenson has finished as the TE5, TE7, TE11, and TE5 over this span, just based on the volume. That keeps him in the top 5-8 tight-end conversation despite his inefficiencies and the horrible matchup this week. New York is 15th in catch rate and yards per reception allowed to tight ends, but they are only one of two teams (Buffalo) yet to allow a touchdown to tight ends.
