Top T.J. Hockenson News

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Listed as DNP on Wednesday

    Hockenson (wrist/chest) is listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    There was no clear sign of trouble Monday night when Hockenson played 83 percent of snaps in a loss to the Bills. A return to practice Thursday would put him on track to face the Packers this Sunday in what could be the first start of Kirk Cousins' second stint with the Vikings. Coach Kevin O'Connell declined to name a Week 10 starter Wednesday, but Cousins' familiarity with the offense seemingly gives him the edge over Carson Wentz (ankle) after Wentz's Monday night meltdown.

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Leads team in receptions Monday

    Hockenson recorded four catches for 33 yards on seven targets in a loss to Buffalo on Monday.

    In addition to leading the Vikings in receptions, Hockenson finished second in receiving yardage and targets in a rough performance by Minnesota's offense. The veteran wideout has hauled in exactly four catches in four straight games, though he snapped a two-game TD streak Monday. It remains to be seen who will be throwing passes for Minnesota next Sunday in Green Bay, as Carson Wentz struggled enormously Monday and Kyler Murray is currently dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Finds end zone against Detroit

    Hockenson caught four of five targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions.

    Hockenson secured an eight-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to give the Vikings a 15-12 lead, and he's now up to 31 grabs for 295 yards and three touchdowns on 37 targets through seven games this season. Hockenson, though, missed all but two offensive snaps in the Week 5 win over the Saints after suffering a concussion. A favorite target for Kyler Murray in the middle and short areas of the field, Hockenson has settled in as a lower-end TE1 in fantasy. He gets a plus matchup with the Bills next Monday night in another spot the Minnesota offense may be forced to push the gas pedal.

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Gets into end zone against Indy

    Hockenson caught four of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.

    The veteran tight end scored Minnesota's only TD of the afternoon, connecting with Kyler Murray on a five-yard score early in the fourth quarter. Hockenson has seen more than five targets just once in six contests this season, and he'll take a 27-237-2 line on 32 targets into a potential revenge game in Week 8 against the Lions.

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Clear for Week 7

    Hockenson (concussion) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    With the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Hockenson has cleared the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Vikings' last game in Week 5 at New Orleans. He'll be available Sunday along with WRs Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) for QB Kyler Murray.

  • Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Another full session

    Hockenson (concussion) was listed as a full participant Thursday.

    Hockenson is inching closer to clearing the protocol for head injuries after sustaining a concussion during the Vikings' Week 5 win at New Orleans. At the very least, he must gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up again Sunday against the Colts.
