T.J. Hockenson Quiet In Week 4 Win

Sunday, October 1, 8:23 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught just two of three targets for 24 yards in the team's 21-13 win over the Panthers. Hockenson was outpaced by Justin Jefferson in targets once again, but it proved to be detrimental in this one as Kirk Cousins attempted just 19 passes. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his lack of production in this one, as the Vikings figure to continue being one of the more pass-heavy offenses despite what was on display in Week 4. Hockenson should be treated as an elite TE1 option in Week 5 in what should be a high-scoring affair with the Chiefs.
