Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Kenneth Walker III

Tight end T.J. Hockenson of the Minnesota Vikings has a strong matchup against a bad Washington Commanders defense in Week 14, but fantasy managers should consider him a TE2 option due to the team's continued struggles on offense. The Commanders allow scoring drives at the highest rate in the NFL, but the Vikings are turning over the ball at the highest rate, which has been a major contributor to the team scoring on fewer than 32% of its possessions. Hockenson is coming off his best game of the year with six catches for 59 yards at Seattle, but Minnesota will experience yet another quarterback change now that starter J.J. McCarthy (concussion) is back. Even when the Vikings' offense is at its best, the veteran tight end is the team's third option behind receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, so managers may want to reserve Hockenson only for formats that start more than one tight end.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. As expected, Walker will play through the same injury he had last week. It didn't seem to impact his performance, as he rushed for 56 yards on 13 attempts in the blowout win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about this glute injury having any impact on his play. Walker remains a solid RB2 for a favorable matchup against the Falcons' rush defense this weekend.
