Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or T.J. Hockenson

Sunday, October 20, 5:00 PM

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith reeled in all seven of his targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in their 16-10 Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. It was a career day for the 29-year-old veteran, who set a new personal best with his seven receptions. His marks in the matchup were all team-highs, too, as no other Miami pass-catcher recorded more than three targets. It was an excellent performance from Smith, with the 96 yards being his most since he posted 100 in Week 9 last season as a member of the Atlanta Falcons. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa potentially returning in Week 8, the Dolphins' offensive outlook could be on the rise. However, that is nowhere near a guarantee. Miami will now turn their attention to next Sunday when they'll host the visiting Arizona Cardinals.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. The Vikings didn't hold an official practice heading into Thursday night's clash against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. Hockenson continues to work his way back from a torn ACL late last year, but head coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn't say on Monday if Hockenson will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in time to be active for Thursday's game. Even if Hockenson is activated and suits up on Thursday, it would be surprising if the 27-year-old wasn't eased into action in his season debut. However, he should be rostered in all fantasy formats by now and could quickly become a strong TE1 option in fantasy after going for career-highs in catches (95) and receiving yards 960 with five touchdowns in 15 games in 2023 in his first year in Minnesota.
