T.J. Hockenson would have been drafted as a top-three tight end in the vast majority of 2024 fantasy leagues if he hadn't torn his ACL and MCL on Dec. 24, putting his early-season availability for the new season in doubt. It's possible that the recovery from multiple ligament tears will keep Hockenson out until midseason or later, and that he won't be his typically impactful self immediately upon his return. A healthy Hockenson is a fantasy difference-maker. He had 86 catches for 914 yards and six touchdowns in 2022, good for a TE2 finish in PPR fantasy scoring behind only Travis Kelce. Hockenson was having an even better season in 2023, with 95 catches for 960 yards and five touchdowns before the injury. Monitor the reports on Hockenson's recovery throughout the offseason, and resist the temptation to overspend on a player trying to come back from major knee surgery.

T.J. Hockenson reportedly could miss the first month of the 2024 season.

Fantasy Impact

After tearing his ACL and MCL in December, Hockenson elected to wait over one month to undergo surgery to allow his MCL to heal. The typical timeline to recovery from this surgery is nine months, which would leave him at a potential return date in early October. This will be a situation to monitor all offseason for fantasy managers regarding one of the top tight ends in the game and in fantasy football.
