Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: No practice due to shin injury
T.J. Hockenson was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury.Hockenson logged his lowest snap share (56 percent) in a game this season this past Sunday against the Commanders, but he salvaged his two-catch, 12-yard day with a TD among his three targets. Perhaps the shin issue was to blame, but in any case, his status now will be monitored as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday in Dallas.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Gets into end zone Sunday
T.J. Hockenson caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.While the veteran tight end didn't see much volume, Hockenson did haul in his first TD since Week 9 and third of the season on a two-yard toss from J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter. All three of McCarthy's career-high three touchdowns went to TEs, an encouraging sign for Hockenson in what has been a tough season overall.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Leading receiver in shutout loss
T.J. Hockenson corralled all six of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks.Hockenson was the lone bright spot for Minnesota's passing offense after converting all of his targets into a team-high 59 yards. The 27-year-old tied his previous season best with six receptions, while the yardage did represent a new high-water mark in an otherwise disappointing campaign. With a 44-358-2 receiving line through 12 starts, Hockenson is providing the bare minimum at a shallow fantasy position for managers this season. That said, he offers little upside against the Commanders next Sunday.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Four receptions in loss
T.J. Hockenson had four receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.J.J. McCarthy's abysmal play at quarterback (87 yards passing, two interceptions) has made almost every Minnesota Vikings receiver a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Hockensen at least is getting some dump-off passes (seven receptions in the last two games), but they are not resulting in much yardage. Hockenson's outlook isn't any better next week in a tough matchup at Seattle.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Three receptions in loss
T.J. Hockenson had three receptions for 39 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to Chicago.There were some encouraging signs for Hockenson as the Minnesota Vikings offense used him more in short routes over the middle that were lacking in quarterback J.J. McCarthy's previous starts. However, McCarthy and the passing game struggled overall, which limits Hockenson's upside. McCarthy was just 16-for-32 passing as he struggled with accuracy and had two interceptions.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Just two receptions in loss
T.J. Hockenson had two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.Hockenson hasn't had much action with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback as he's had just 12 targets in his four games behind center.

Hockenson had two receptions for 11 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win at Detroit.Hockenson played on 48 of the offense's 62 snaps and went out for a pass on 28 of them, which was about his usual pattern. However, quarterback J.J. McCarthy attempted just 25 passes, which didn't leave a lot of targets for the receiving corps after Justin Jefferson (nine targets).
