Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Finds end zone against Detroit
Hockenson caught four of five targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions.
Hockenson secured an eight-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to give the Vikings a 15-12 lead, and he's now up to 31 grabs for 295 yards and three touchdowns on 37 targets through seven games this season. Hockenson, though, missed all but two offensive snaps in the Week 5 win over the Saints after suffering a concussion. A favorite target for Kyler Murray in the middle and short areas of the field, Hockenson has settled in as a lower-end TE1 in fantasy. He gets a plus matchup with the Bills next Monday night in another spot the Minnesota offense may be forced to push the gas pedal.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Gets into end zone against Indy
Hockenson caught four of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts.
The veteran tight end scored Minnesota's only TD of the afternoon, connecting with Kyler Murray on a five-yard score early in the fourth quarter. Hockenson has seen more than five targets just once in six contests this season, and he'll take a 27-237-2 line on 32 targets into a potential revenge game in Week 8 against the Lions.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Clear for Week 7
Hockenson (concussion) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
With the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Hockenson has cleared the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Vikings' last game in Week 5 at New Orleans. He'll be available Sunday along with WRs Justin Jefferson (ankle) and Jordan Addison (hamstring) for QB Kyler Murray.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Logs full practice Wednesday
Hockenson (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
In the wake of suffering a concussion during a Week 5 win in New Orleans, Hockenson had the benefit of a Week 6 bye and took advantage of it, but a full practice Wednesday doesn't necessarily mean he's out of the protocol for head injuries just yet. He'll need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to be able to play Sunday against the Colts.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Slated to practice Wednesday
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said that Hockenson (concussion) is expected to practice Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Hockenson suffered a concussion on the Vikings' opening possession of a Week 5 win in New Orleans, but with the benefit of an early-season bye in Week 6, the tight end may not miss any additional time due to the injury. Wednesday's activity level will serve as Hockenson's base line as he works his way through the protocol for head injuries ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Done for day with concussion
The Vikings downgraded Hockenson to out for Sunday's game against the Saints due to a concussion.
After recording a seven-yard reception on the Vikings' opening possession, Hockenson immediately headed to the locker room to get checked for a head injury. With Minnesota confirming that he has sustained a concussion, Hockenson will be shut down for the rest of the afternoon and will now be subject to the NFL's five-step protocol. Minnesota is on bye for Week 6, so Hockenson's next chance to play will come against the Colts on Oct. 25.

Vikings' T.J. Hockenson: Getting checked for possible concussion
Hockenson is under evaluation for a possible concussion and is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game at New Orleans.
Hockenson remained on the turf at the end of a seven-yard catch in the first quarter and went directly to the sideline tent afterward. If Hockenson isn't able to reenter the contest, Gavin Bartholomew and Ben Yurosek represent the Vikings' remaining available tight ends.
