Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Dalton Kincaid

Fantasy managers should not put much stock into tight end T.J. Hockenson when the Minnesota Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 12. The veteran has yet to reach 50 yards receiving in a game this season and is averaging just more than two catches per outing during the past month. Minnesota has struggled in back-to-back weeks with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, though Hockenson's fantasy output had diminished relative to prior years even before McCarthy returned from injury. In 10 games this season, Hockenson has finished within the top 10 fantasy tight ends only once, and managers should consider starting him only in formats that play more than one tight end.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be questionable to play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, according to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. Kincaid, who last played in Week 10, did not practice on Wednesday, but he'll close out the week with two limited practices. The 26-year-old could be a game-time decision this weekend, which will make things a bit more difficult for fantasy managers trying to make lineup decisions, as the Bills and Steelers play in the later window on Sunday. Kincaid should be a top target for quarterback Josh Allen if he's active. If Kincaid misses a third straight game, Dawson Knox will have a bigger role again. Knox hasn't done much with Kincaid out the last two games, though, catching only four passes for 40 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets.
