Wayward Vikings Offense Limits Potential For T.J. Hockenson

Friday, October 2, 12:41 PM

The past few weeks have been a major struggle for the Minnesota Vikings offense, which dims the outlook for T.J. Hockenson ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Currently, Minnesota ranks dead last in the NFL in total yards, passing first downs, and net yards per attempt, which makes the whole passing operation difficult to trust. Hockenson could see an uptick in usage now that star receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) will miss the game, though the same circumstances didn't amount to much last week in Tampa Bay, as quarterback Kyler Murray looked skittish in his first full game of the season. With nine catches in three games, Hockenson is performing as a TE2, which is how he should likely be viewed again this week. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 23 tight end for Week 4.

Tetairoa McMillan Has High Upside in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:35 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan could get more work in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, which could help him rebound from a quiet Week 3 performance. McMillan caught just 2-of-5 targets for a measly 17 yards in a 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns, but his target share should go up with fellow wideout Xavier Legette (knee) ruled out and Jalen Coker (quad) listed as questionable. Detroit's passing defense is allowing a league-high 299.3 yards per game, which opens the door for Bryce Young to find McMillan downfield early and often. The former first-round pick is a high-upside WR2 in Week 4.
