T.J. Hockenson Remains A Must-Start Despite Tough Matchup

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to step up in Week 7 as the Vikings host the 49ers without their No. 1 option in the passing game, All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Hockenson managed to secure six of eight targets for 50 yards last week, as he continues to be an elite option for fantasy managers as a high-end TE1. Despite the nightmare matchup with the 49ers' defense, the Iowa product is a must-start option at what is once again a very thin position in terms of fantasy production. High volume will likely be the key to overcoming the tough matchup, which could easily be attainable for Hockenson who looks like Kirk Cousins' favorite target in the absence of Jefferson.
