Why It Matters: Although Hockenson has enjoyed a mini renaissance in 2026, most of that has come with Kyler Murray (hamstring) at the helm. It was Carson Wentz on Monday night, and the results weren't pretty. Ever since posting a 13-119-0 line in Week 4, Hockenson has topped 35 yards just once in the last four games, though he did score twice to generate some value. He's worth rostering as a TE2 in leagues deep enough to warrant carrying a second tight end.
