T.J. Hockenson Logs Team-High 55 Receiving Yards

12 months ago

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson recorded a team-leading 55 receiving yards and seven targets in Week 11's 21-20 defeat to the Denver Broncos. Hockenson was all alone on a jump pass from quarterback Joshua Dobbs for a 29-yard gain during the second quarter, which was his biggest play of the evening. The 26-year-old more or less functioned as a safety valve the rest of the way on a night where Minnesota clearly game-planned around Denver's cushy run defense. Hockenson's four receptions marked his fewest since Week 4, which happened to be Justin Jefferson's (hamstring) last full game played. It was also a very far cry from Hockenson's rousing 11/134/1 receiving line from last Sunday, but he remains one of fantasy's safest TE1 bets for Week 12 when the Vikings host the division-rival Chicago Bears, with or without Jefferson.
