T.J. Hockenson Has Only Two Catches in Loss Thursday Night

Friday, October 24, 10:09 AM

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Thursday night's 37-10 loss to the Chargers. After back-to-back games with six receptions, Hockenson took a step back in this game with his quietest performance since Week 2 against the Falcons. It was a struggle for the Vikings offense as a whole, as the Chargers dominated them up front. Veteran quarterback Carson Wentz was under heavy pressure most of the night, and the team averaged just 3.1 yards per carry. The 28-year-old tight end tied Jordan Addison for the second-most receiving yards on the night, which speaks to the struggles of the passing game. Hockenson will look to get back on track against his former team, the Detroit Lions, in Week 9.

Jalen Hurts a Top Option After Another Big Outing

Friday, October 24, 10:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is coming off of his strongest passing game of the 2025 campaign so far, throwing for three touchdowns and setting a new season-high with 326 yards. Two of those scores came from A.J. Brown, who will miss Sunday's matchup against the Giants with a hamstring injury, but New York allows the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs. When these teams met just two weeks ago, Hurts managed two total touchdowns despite a Philly loss. Now, expect the Eagles to be fired up for revenge against their division rivals-this time with home-field advantage. Hurts should be considered a high-end QB1 in Week 8.
