The Minnesota Vikings will visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. 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 T.J. Hockenson Playing in Week 15?
Hockenson is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Hockenson in Week 15?
T.J. Hockenson found the end zone on Sunday, his third of the season, on a weird play where the Commanders seemed to decide to see if they could tackle him without using their hands.
Bold move.
He pinballed into the end zone and saved your bacon in the process, but you need to understand that you got bailed out. He had just one catch for the game, other than the score, and even more concerning than that was the fact that three Minnesota tight ends had a reception on the first drive.
Josh Oliver found the end zone twice in the 31-0 win, and if this job isn’t fully Hockenson’s, what exactly are you chasing in terms of upside?
This Dallas matchup isn’t as friendly as it was a month ago, and this Vikings offense is just as broken as it was a week ago: don’t get cute and put your season in the hands of maybe the third option in a JJ McCarthy-led offense.
