Vikings Hopeful T.J. Hockenson Will Play In Week 10
1 year agoMinnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) will be limited in practice this week due to a rib injury he suffered in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said the team is hopeful that he'll be able to play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. Hockenson's injury is worth watching, but the 26-year-old isn't dealing with a serious injury and should be available as a surefire starting TE1 in fantasy again this week. Hockenson was Minnesota's leading receiver on Sunday in the first game without quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) under center. It helped that journeyman Joshua Dobbs entered the contest due to an injury to rookie Jaren Hall (concussion). Hockenson finished with seven catches on a season-high-tying 12 targets for 69 yards.
