Fantasy Football Player Notes

T.J. Hockenson missed seven games in 2024 while recovering from the devastating knee injury he sustained in December 2023. Upon his return, he had 41 catches for 455 yards in 10 games but didn't score any touchdowns. Hockenson has been a trusted brand name at the TE position, but he's entering his age-28 season and has missed 26 games over the last four seasons. Hockenson must share targets with Vikings WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and those targets will be coming from a quarterback who's never started an NFL game, top 2023 Minnesota draft pick J.J. McCarthy. But as a proven performer playing for offensive mastermind Kevin O'Connell, Hockenson still profiles as a top-10 fantasy tight end.
