T.J. HOCKENSON NEWS

Fine for Week 15 Hockenson (shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Hockenson missed Wednesday's practice but returned to limited participation Thursday. He's apparently fine to play this week, after catching two of three targets for 12 yards and a TD in the 31-0 blowout of Washington last Sunday.

Limited Thursday Hockenson (shin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact One day removed from not mixing into any drills due to a shin injury Wednesday, Hockenson was back on the field, signaling that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest at Dallas. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Week 15 action, but fellow TE Josh Oliver is on hand if Hockenson is inhibited or sidelined.

No practice due to shin injury Hockenson was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury.

Impact 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. Josh Oliver is the next TE up in Minnesota if Hockenson needs to miss any time.

Gets into end zone Sunday Hockenson caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.

Impact 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. He'll look to reach 60 receiving yards for the first time in 2025 in a Week 15 clash with the Cowboys.

The Big Picture: Justin Jefferson’s Silence Speaks Volumes on Vikings QB Situation

The Minnesota Vikings moved on from a competent QB in Sam Darnold, and Justin Jefferson is paying the price.

DECEMBER 1 • FOX SPORTS

Leading receiver in shutout loss Hockenson corralled all six of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact 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.

Four receptions in loss Hockenson had four receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Impact J.J. McCarthy's abysmal play at quarterback (87 yards passing, two interceptions in the loss) has made almost every Vikings receiver a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Hockensen is at least getting some dump-off passes (seven receptions 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.

Three receptions in loss Hockenson had three receptions for 39 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to Chicago.

Impact There were some encouraging signs for Hockenson as the 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-of-32 passing as he struggled with accuracy and had two interceptions.
