Adam Schefter reports that Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will start the 2024 season on the Physically Unable to Perform List. Hockenson will miss the first 4 games to start the season. With the Vikings having a week 6 bye, fantasy gamers should expect T.J. Hockenson to come back closer to week 7.

While no specific timeframe has been set in stone for T.J. Hockenson’s return, there has been expressed optimism in the recovery of the Vikings star tight end. The Vikings are expected to throw plenty in what is shaping up to be a lost season after losing rookie first round quarterback J.J. McCarthy. 

On UnderDog, Hockenson is being drafted as the TE-15 in round 12. It is sharp to select an elite tight end in the single digit rounds and layer T.J. Hockenson as a second tight end who will return for the back half of the season.  Scoop the value on T.J. Hockenson in best ball while having confidence in the dynasty market to hold and buy where a depressed price is offered.
