Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or T.J. Hockenson

Monday, September 15, 9:31 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill turned the page after a disappointing Week 1 with a big Week 2. He only had four catches for 40 yards in the season-opening loss to the Colts, but against the Patriots, he posted 109 receiving yards by catching six of his seven targets. Tua Tagovailoa was more aggressive passing the ball down the field, especially late in the game, but Tua missed Tyreek on a play that could have kept the game-winning drive going. There continues to be plenty of drama with Hill in Miami, but at least with his performance, we know he still has the ceiling to be a productive receiver going forward. This week, he and the 0-2 Dolphins play on a short week against the 2-0 Bills on Thursday Night Football.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should be viewed as a starting option when his team plays host to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. The Iowa product had an unremarkable statistical performance in Week 1, but so did most of the Vikings, who were brutal offensively for three quarters before surging to victory in the fourth against the Bears. This time out, Hockenson faces a Falcons defense that is mid-tier against tight ends while the Vikings are still missing No. 2 wide receiver Jordan Addison (suspension) for another couple weeks. The passing game led by first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy figures to see a boost behind the home crowd, and Hockenson should be one of the biggest benefactors.
