Should You Start or Sit Hockenson in Week 10?
T.J. Hockenson scoring a revenge TD last week, his first trip to the end zone since Week 3, was great to see, but I’m not at all sure that he’s a weekly starter.
In J.J. McCarthy’s return to action, Hockenson earned just a 13% target share. Unless you think that this offense is going to make a massive step forward in terms of efficiency moving forward, that rate of involvement is more in line with a streamer at the position than anything else.
We know Justin Jefferson is an All-World talent and that Jordan Addison brings a level of upside that is otherwise lacking from this offense. However, with McCarthy icing the game with a trust pass to Jalen Nailor, not to mention Aaron Jones’ ability to be split out wide, I think we are fighting an uphill battle.
This game could be a shootout, and so could next week’s home date with the Bears. If Minnesota finds itself in track meets, Hockenson can flirt with TE1 status if for no other reason than the high count in red zone trips.
But after that are games against the Packers and Seahawks, spots where it’s possible, if not likely, that this offense will be quiet.
There aren’t many instances where I’d hold two tight ends on my roster, but if you wanted to marry Hockenson’s schedule with a Luke Musgrave or other streaming option and play the matchup game, I’d give you the green light, provided that your depth is stable elsewhere.
