T.J. Hockenson Status Update: Why Vikings Tight End is Benched by Steelers in Ireland Game
**T.J. Hockenson’s Performance Sparks Interest Ahead of Vikings’ Clash in Dublin**
Hockenson’s Comeback in Week 3 Boosts Expectations
In a remarkable turn of events, T.J. Hockenson, the Minnesota Vikings’ tight end, made a striking comeback in Week 3. Having faced doubts over his performance in the first two games, Hockenson managed to reclaim his form, raising hopes for his performance during the team’s upcoming clash in Dublin, Ireland, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Key Player Status: Hockenson’s Role in Sunday’s Game
For those wondering, T.J. Hockenson is indeed active for the game in Ireland. However, the Vikings’ offensive strategy appears to be heavily focused on wide receiver Justin Jefferson, with quarterback Carson Wentz directing most of his passes his way. This might impact Hockenson’s role, though Wentz offers strong passing capabilities that could benefit Hockenson more effectively than some other quarterbacks.
Fantasy Football Implications for Hockenson Fans
Fantasy football players banking on Hockenson for Week 4 might have mixed feelings. While the Vikings have successfully advanced the ball in the initial stages, Hockenson’s impact has been limited outside of the red zone. Those with Hockenson in their lineups should keep an eye on the potential for red zone opportunities to materialize as touchdowns.
