RotoWire NFL Articles on T.J. Hockenson
From the article
T.J. Hockenson's numbers cratered last season, just 438 yards and three touchdowns, by far his worst full season, and his catches dropped from 95 at his peak to 51. Blame the quarterback play. J.J. McCarthy struggled badly enough to drag down Minnesota's entire passing attack, and Hockenson still ranked in the top 30 percent of tight ends in open rate and the top 15 percent in catch rate when the ball did come his way. Kyler Murray's arrival should restore real passing volume.
STACKED’s take
Hockenson's TE20 ADP at pick 204 is fair value given Kyler Murray's arrival.
Numbers cratered last season with just 438 yards and three touchdowns (his worst full season) and catches dropped from 95 at his peak to 51, but blame the quarterback play—J.J. McCarthy struggled badly enough to drag down Minnesota's entire passing attack. Hockenson still ranked in the top 30 percent of tight ends in open rate and the top 15 percent in catch rate when the ball did come his way. Kyler Murray's arrival should restore real passing volume; a healthy connection with an accurate, mobile quarterback is exactly what could get Hockenson back to form. At 29, some decline risk is real alongside the upside, but a TE20 average draft position price at pick 204 is a fair bounce-back bet.
