Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson managed just 3 receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. His 6 targets tied for second on the team, though, and constituted 19.4% of Sam Darnold's total pass attempts. Hockenson also ranked third among Vikings in routes, running one on 72% of Darnold's dropbacks.
This was simply the kind of down game that will happen rather than a worrisome result for a guy who's been inconsistent.
That route rate marked a slight dip vs. Week 12, but his playing time stayed north of 60% for the second straight week -- and just the second time among five appearances this year.
Expect Hockenson to stay in this range of usage and remain usable for PPR lineups.
In fact, the Cardinals were easily his worst remaining TE-scoring matchup, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed. Hockenson now gets the third-best TE schedule from Week 14 on.
