Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Pat Freiermuth

Friday, November 14, 11:47 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson hasn't been a consistent fantasy option all season. While he's stayed healthy, which is a plus, he has only 31 catches for 241 yards and two touchdowns. To be fair, the Vikings offense hasn't looked the best, with J.J. McCarthy still having issues adapting to life as a quarterback in the National Football League. Hockenson likely has a few more trips to the end zone up his sleeve before the conclusion of the 2025 campaign. However, since he hasn't been the most trustworthy fantasy option, managers will be rolling the dice by featuring him in their lineups for Sunday's NFC North showdown with the Chicago Bears.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has scored three touchdowns in the past four weeks and is set to take on a familiar foe in the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Freiermuth has a long history of success against the Bengals, most recently erupting for 111 yards and two touchdowns when these division rivals met in Week 7. Though the weekly target distribution between Pittsburgh's three tight ends is unpredictable, Freiermuth has outpaced both Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington in fantasy scoring since the Steelers' Week 5 bye. None of them are safe options in Week 11, but Freiermuth's recent chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his track record against the Bengals give him the highest ceiling of the group. He has appeal as a streaming option in what could be another shootout.
