T.J. Hockenson Lifts Fantasy Output With Late Score

12 months ago

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson posted his lowest target volume of the season during Week 12's tough 12-10 defeat to the division-rival Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, bringing in five receptions on six targets for 50 yards and one touchdown. Hockenson's first target didn't arrive until deep into the second quarter amid a dormant first half for the Vikings, who eked out just 76 yards of offense during this interval. The 26-year-old two-time Pro Bowler resurrected during the second half, recording all of his production in the final two quarters, which was highlighted by a late 17-yard score that gave Minnesota a temporary 10-9 advantage. Season-long fantasy managers will now need to find a one-week replacement for Hockenson, who finds himself on a bye in Week 13 before returning to action for a Week 14 interconference clash with the Las Vegas Raiders.
