Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Bucky Irving

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson was among the many at U.S. Bank Stadium who was not thrilled that his apparent fourth-quarter touchdown catch was overturned by replay on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. The big tight end made an acrobatic play in which he caught the ball in the air, though it came in contact with the ground while in his hands as he fell to the turf. He juggled as he turned over, regathered, and stayed in bounds, but replay determined the play -- called a touchdown on the field -- should be overturned. "New York can't call in and say it's not a catch when every other ref out there says it is," Hockenson told reporters after the game. "That's all there is to it. It's just crazy." Hockenson finished with a solid six catches for 49 yards, but the touchdown that wasn't surely irked a few fantasy managers as well.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday Night Football against the Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Irving will miss his third straight game while dealing with multiple injuries. Tampa Bay has relied heavily on Rachaad White in his absence, playing 81% of the snaps over the past two weeks and recording 38 touches. Given Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye, the team may choose to delay his return until after the break to ensure he is completely healthy. White will be the workhorse again Monday night against Detroit, with Sean Tucker mixing in.
