T.J. Hockenson News
Monday, June 15, 8:38 AM
Across 15 games in 2025, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson recorded 51 receptions for 438 yards and three touchdowns on 66 targets. While Hockenson's numbers don't jump off the page, the Vikings got some of the worst quarterback play in the league in 2025 from the trio of J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer. Minnesota's passing game should be significantly improved in 2026 following the offseason acquisition of veteran quarterback Kyler Murray. Still, Hockenson's production has been trending downwards in recent years, and he's now entering his age-29 season and the final year of his current contract with the Vikings. Minnesota also signed former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings in free agency, who seems likely to take Hockenson's role as the tertiary pass-catcher in Minnesota alongside star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Dynasty managers may want to consider selling Hockenson before his stock drops even further in 2026.

Tucker Kraft News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:15 AM
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list this summer, but he should be "full-go" by the time the team visits the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 regular-season opener in September, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft was arguably the league's best player at the TE position in 2025 before he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9, as he had 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. The 25-year-old former third-round pick (78th overall) in 2023 out of South Dakota State has looked swift while rehabbing on a side field during offseason workouts, and he said he recently hit 21.5 mph on foot. As long as Kraft doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks during training camp and the preseason, he'll be a popular breakout candidate at the TE position after his strong showing in eight games a year ago. The Packers let receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, so even more targets could be coming Kraft's way in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE.
