T.J. Hockenson, TE, Minnesota Vikings
I was against drafting T.J. Hockenson at his ADP this summer, but his recent fantasy performances may have opened a buy-low window. The veteran Minnesota Vikings tight end was taken sixth at the position in fantasy drafts this year, but has returned only one top-six weekly finish in nine games.
Hockenson’s 2.8 fantasy points against the Ravens on Sunday were his second-fewest of the season, and he has produced only two double-digit fantasy scores all year. However, better weeks may lie ahead, starting in Week 11.
All of Hockenson’s last five opponents were top-half defenses against tight ends in fantasy heading into Sunday’s games. His next five opponents all ranked in the bottom half against the position.
That includes the Bears, Green Bay Packers, Washington Commanders, and Seattle Seahawks, who all allowed at least 15.2 FPPG to tight ends from Weeks 1-9. Hockenson isn’t worth splashing out for, but is worth a flyer if you can get him for minimal cost this week.
Mason Taylor, TE, New York Jets
Mason Taylor has appeared in several of these articles throughout the course of the season. But after initially breaking out against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4, things have taken a dip for the rookie recently.
Taylor caught his first NFL touchdown in the Jets’ Week 9 victory over the Bengals, but he was then targeted just twice against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. That was in part due to the rain, and in part due to Justin Fields’ apparent lack of interest in throwing the ball.
If I’m right, and Fields is benched again in the near future, then Taylor would have weekly top-10 upside with his namesake throwing him the ball. Tyrod would make a massive difference to the Jets’ passing attack, and Mason would be a big part of that.
The rookie is likely available on waivers in many leagues and is admittedly a stash at this point, but his value will multiply if Tyrod takes over.
