Fantasy Football Injury Impact: T.J. Hockenson Injury Sets Up Two Vikings For Big Fantasy Days
T.J. Hockenson's injury will create more targets for two Vikings receivers.
Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (87) is sidelined with a concussion, setting the stage for an influx of fantasy targets for other Vikings receivers. With Hockenson ruled out, Justin Jefferson and Jauan Jennings are expected to see an increased workload in the offense. Hockenson had a stellar Week 4 performance, accumulating 24.9 fantasy points, but his injury has led to a major shift in fantasy football strategy.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who had been sidelined with an ankle injury, is now officially active for the Week 5 game against the Saints, cementing his status as a must-start receiver. Should fantasy managers of Hockenson be concerned? Hockenson should have sufficient time to recover during the Vikings' Week 6 bye, making him available for fantasy managers in Week 7 against the Colts.
