Vikings Acquire T.J. Hockenson From The Lions
2 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings acquired tight end T.J. Hockenson, a 2023 fourth-round pick and a 2024 conditional fourth-round pick from the Detroit Lions on Tuesday in exchange for a 2023 second-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick, according to sources. It's a stunner before Tuesday's deadline. Irv Smith Jr. is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and will miss some time, so Hockenson will immediately jump in as Minnesota's top pass-catching tight end. Hockenson's fantasy upside should increase in a pass-happy Vikings offense, although there are plenty of mouths to feed in Minnesota. Back in Detroit, Brock Wright and rookie James Mitchell will see elevated roles the rest of the year, but the departure of Hockenson will mean more targets for Amon-Ra St. Brown, Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and running backs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.
