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

Friday, October 17, 4:45 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is a middle-of-the-pack TE2 option with his team set to play host to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. Not only has the veteran tight end's production swung wildly from week to week, but the Eagles have been particularly good against fantasy tight ends, holding them to the fourth-fewest points. However, Hockenson has had better production with Carson Wentz, who will start Sunday with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) listed as questionable as he returns from injury. Still, Hockenson has finished among the top 15 fantasy tight ends just once in five tries, making him hard to trust in formats that play only one tight end.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. Ferguson has been excellent so far this season, ranking as the overall TE1 with his 41 catches, 272 yards, and three touchdowns through five games. He has continued to demonstrate a strong rapport with Dak Prescott, cementing himself as one of the top targets in an offense that racks up high yardage totals every week. The 26-year-old could be headed for another big outing on Sunday against the Panthers, who have allowed the most receiving yards and second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Ferguson should be started with confidence in all leagues.
