The Minnesota Vikings will host the Chicago Bears in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE T.J. Hockenson.
Is Hockenson Playing in Week 11?
Hockenson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Vikings’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Hockenson in Week 11?
This JJ McCarthy experience isn’t exactly going well for the primary pass catchers.
TJ Hockenson has turned 66 routes this month into five targets and 19 yards. The worst part? They won a road game against the Lions and ended up hanging around against the Ravens in those two games, reasonably positive results all things considered.
I don’t think he’s being phased out of this offense, but I do think McCarthy will have to be told to look in this direction, as it’s clearly not in his nature (Hockenson was under 20 yards in each of the first games this season as well).
The matchup is golden, so if you’re the super forgiving type and willing to give him one more week, I can’t really stop you, but I’ve been discouraged enough by the lack of opportunity to drop him down to TE16 in my Week 11 rankings.
