The Vikings offense is loaded in every way, at every position. Of course, with a high-powered offense like the Vikings', they come with some notable fantasy football assets.
During the 2026 season here on Vikings Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at tight end T.J. Hockenson. The veteran tight end has not been himself since coming back from a torn ACL in 2025, so should he be a starter in Week 1 for you?
Until Hockenson can show he can be relied upon as a top receiving option alongside the likes of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison,
he shouldn't be in lineups. He topped out the 2025 season with just one double-digit point-scoring week in half PPR. If that isn't enough of a red flag, then we aren't sure what else can be it for players.
