T.J. Hockenson is the TE10 in fantasy points per game. Hockenson has an 18.7% target share with 2.22 YPRR, seven red zone targets, and a 20.6% first-read share. He could easily be a TE1 again this week against a defense that, over its last five games, has allowed the fifth-most yards per target to tight ends.

T.J. Hockenson reaches end zone in Week 8 loss

T.J. Hockenson hauled in four of his five targets for 58 yards and one touchdown in the Vikings' 19-15 Week 8 loss to the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Hockenson has had a nose for the end zone of late, recording a receiving touchdown in each of his last two contests. The tight end will look to continue his impactful stretch against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.
