Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Jake Ferguson

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.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is looking to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. Ferguson had a strong stretch of play, but has been a bit sluggish lately. Last week, Ferguson hauled in four of his five targets for 16 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The return of CeeDee Lamb seems to have cut into some of Ferguson's target share over the last few games. The 26-year-old has been held to under 50 receiving yards four of his last five games. Despite that, Ferguson should still be plugged in as a TE1 for this Week 12 matchup.
