T.J. Hockenson News

The Minnesota Vikings will once again turn to quarterback Carson Wentz in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, which could improve the fantasy prospects of tight end T.J. Hockenson. With the backup QB at the helm, the Iowa product played well in Week 1, logging four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown that spurred the Vikings' comeback against Green Bay. More importantly, he was second on the team in targets, trailing only star wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Hockenson was a top-five player at his position before his knee injury late in 2023, and while he might not return to those heights, he seems to have a decent spot among fantasy tight ends early in 2026. Facing a Bears secondary that struggled in Week 1, Hockenson is a solid TE2/flex option who could offer even more if targeted in the red zone.

Brenton Strange News
Monday, September 14, 5:53 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange is coming off a relatively quiet game in Week 1. Strange didn't do much in terms of receptions or yardage, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. He caught two of his three targets for 23 yards, including a 14-yard score in the second quarter. Strange is the clear No. 1 tight end in this high-profile passing offense, which could be good news for fantasy managers. He recorded a career-high 540 receiving yards this past season and is being slept on in fantasy leagues. Strange isn't an elite option, but he profiles as a solid TE2 on a weekly basis.
