T.J. Hockenson is the TE15 in fantasy points per game. He has a 20.5% target share, 1.67 YPRR, two red zone targets, zero deep targets, and a 16.7% first-read share. Solid usage, but nothing otherworldly. Hockenson was the TE9 in Week 1, and he could flirt with TE1 production this week. Tampa Bay has allowed the tenth-most yards per target and the ninth-most fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.

T.J. Hockenson catches three passes in Week 2 win

T.J. Hockenson caught three of his four targets for 29 yards in the Vikings' 9-3 Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears.

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.
