Expert Note
View More NotesAfter two games, T.J. Hockenson has 7-65-1 on nine targets. He had a modest 3-29-0 versus the Bears in Week 2, but rainy, windy conditions in Chicago made passing difficult.
Slowed by injuries in recent years, Hockenson looked spry in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Packers, with 4-36-1 on five targets.
Hockenson is a reasonable Week 3 streamer against a Buccaneers defense that gave up 5-78-1 to the Bengals' Mike Gesicki in Week 1, even though Gesicki played only 21 snaps.

Fantasy Impact
Hockenson has made the most of modest involvement in the Minnesota passing attack to begin the season, recording three of more receptions in each of the first two games. The tight end remains one of the more risky pass-catching options for fantasy managers ahead of a Week 3 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
