Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson brought in all five of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old was able to break free for a nifty 26-yard catch-and-run late in the third quarter, but that would be the team's only TD -- and highlight -- of the game. The Vikings' offense fizzled out for the second straight week as quarterback Sam Darnold's late-season collapse continued. It's an unfortunate ending to the season for Minnesota, who won 14 games and was on the brink of a first-round bye. Still, Hockenson can find a silver lining in that he did not re-injure the knee that kept him out of the season's first seven games. He'll now turn to 2025 with uncertainty at quarterback.

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said that he "wants to continue to develop" tight end Kyle Pitt's tight end skills and that he's "expecting Kyle to take a big jump" in Year 2 of the offensive system in 2025. The former fourth overall pick in 2021 -- the highest a tight end has been drafted in the NFL -- had 68 catches for 1,026 yards and a touchdown as a Pro Bowler in his rookie season while becoming the second TE in NFL history to post a 1,000-yard season, joining Hall of Famer Mike Ditka. However, the 24-year-old has disappointed the last three years with 1,625 yards combined and never finishing with more than 667 yards. He also suffered a season-ending torn MCL in 2022. We've heard in the past that Pitts has been primed for a big year, only for him to disappoint. For fantasy managers will to take the chance on him, Pitts is entering a contract year and will be working with impressive young quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
