T.J. Hockenson News
Thursday, July 9, 10:21 AM
Across 15 games in 2025, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson recorded 51 catches for 438 yards and three touchdowns on 66 targets. Like all the other pass-catchers for Minnesota, Hockenson's production was limited by the Vikings' bottom-tier quarterback play in 2025. Veteran signal-caller Kyler Murray brings more stability to Minnesota's passing game in 2026, although the team's overall offensive ecosystem is not guaranteed to be significantly improved. Hockenson is also showing signs of athletic decline as he enters his age-29 season, as he averaged a career-low 8.6 yards per reception in 2025. Additionally, the Vikings signed wide receiver Jauan Jennings in free agency, adding a quality target-earner and red-zone weapon to an offense that already features the star wide receiver duo of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Even at his current ADP of TE22 in redraft leagues, Hockenson may be a player for fantasy managers to avoid in 2026.

Dalton Kincaid News
Monday, July 6, 11:29 AM
Across 12 games in 2025, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid recorded 39 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns on 49 targets. The 26-year-old has flashed upside since entering the league in 2023, but he's missed nine games due to injury over the past two seasons. The Bills have also limited Kincaid's workload even in games where he's been active, as he failed to reach 50% of Buffalo's offensive snaps in any game after Week 5 in 2025. Entering 2026, Kincaid is reportedly fully healthy. However, the Bills added a high-volume target over the offseason in wide receiver DJ Moore and still have tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes on their roster. As the TE12 by average draft position in redraft formats, Kincaid may be overvalued entering 2026.
