Who Should I Start? T.J. Hockenson or Foster Moreau

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the Week 16 loss to the Detroit Lions. He is expected to be placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season. Given the late-season injury, the 26-year-old could start the 2024 season on the PUP list. The former first-round pick signed a four-year, $66 million contract this offseason with Minnesota. Hockenson had career-highs in receptions, receiving, yards, and targets during his first entire season with the Vikings. He caught 95 of 127 targets for 965 yards and five touchdowns over 15 games in 2023. Hockenson will likely undergo surgery in the next few weeks and looks to recover fully in 2024. Josh Oliver is expected to be Minnesota's top tight end with Hockenson sidelined. Fantasy managers searching for tight end help or a replacement for Hockenson can look to add Oliver in most league formats.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) logged another full practice session on Friday and no longer carries a designation heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 26-year-old has played in one game this season and has only two catches for 20 yards. However, with Juwan Johnson (calf) out, Moreau may receive an enhanced role in Week 5. But with Jimmy Graham still in the equation and Derek Carr (shoulder) questionable, Moreau shouldn't be considered anything more than a desperation addition to any fantasy roster.
