Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Bijan Robinson

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should be viewed as a starting option when his team plays host to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. The Iowa product had an unremarkable statistical performance in Week 1, but so did most of the Vikings, who were brutal offensively for three quarters before surging to victory in the fourth against the Bears. This time out, Hockenson faces a Falcons defense that is mid-tier against tight ends while the Vikings are still missing No. 2 wide receiver Jordan Addison (suspension) for another couple weeks. The passing game led by first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy figures to see a boost behind the home crowd, and Hockenson should be one of the biggest benefactors.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson dominated the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 2, rushing for 143 yards on 22 carries in his team's 22-6 victory. Robinson also added three catches for 25 yards on five targets. If there was a negative from Robinson's performance, it was that Falcons RB2 Tyler Allgeier scored the game's only touchdown in a goal-to-go situation. Still, Robinson has now logged 292 yards from scrimmage over the first two games of the season on 43 total touches. He's a must-start fantasy running back with overall RB1 upside.
