T.J. Hockenson Catches Eight Passes In Week 3

Sunday, September 24, 8:56 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught eight of 11 targets for 78 yards in the team's 28-24 loss in Week 3. The Vikings' fumbling woes continued as Hockenson lost the team's seventh fumble of the season in this one. Despite this, Hockenson was still able to provide fantasy managers with solid production at what looks to be an extremely shallow position once again. He will retain his status as an elite TE1 option moving forward, and will once again be a must-start option in Week 4 versus the Panthers.

Sam LaPorta Catches Eight Passes Against Falcons

Sunday, September 24, 5:08 PM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught eight of his 11 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The talented Iowa product already has 18 catches for 186 yards through his first three NFL games and looks poised for a TE1 season as a rookie. That would put him in rare company, but he's well on his way. The 22-year-old is now a must-start option at the scarce fantasy tight end position. The Lions face the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 4.
