Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Tucker Kraft

Wednesday, October 21, 11:02 AM

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said that tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) is expected to practice on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Alec Lewis. Hockenson entered the league's concussion protocol after injuring his head in the Week 5 win over the New Orleans Saints, but with the benefit of the Week 6 bye, the 29-year-old is back at practice and could have a good shot at playing this weekend against the visiting Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. Fantasy managers looking to stream Hockenson in a favorable matchup need to keep a close eye on his status through Friday to see if he can clear the league's concussion protocol before the weekend. It is a good sign that he is practicing on Wednesday. Hockenson only had one catch for seven yards in Week 5 because of his head injury, but he caught all 13 of his targets for 119 yards in the Week 4 win over the Miami Dolphins when receiver Justin Jefferson sat out with an injury. The two-time Pro Bowler has 23 catches on 27 targets for 202 yards and one touchdown in his first five games this year.
