From the article

Hock is on this list because he's going up against a team in Chicago that struggles to defend the pass and is starting a rookie at safety with a veteran QB in Carson Wentz. With Justin Jefferson figuring to gain most of the attention, I expect either veteran signal-caller to target Hockenson more than the 6.4 targets he is accustomed to receiving against the Bears.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Hockenson poised for elevated targets against Chicago's weak pass defense.

Against Chicago's struggling pass defense and rookie safety, Hockenson is expected to see elevated target volume above his 6.4 targets per game average against the Bears. In 13 career games against Chicago (Vikings and Lions combined), he has 58 catches for 618 yards with 3 touchdowns (4.5 catches and 47.5 yards per game). With Justin Jefferson drawing most defensive attention, the source expects the Vikings' quarterback to target Hockenson more frequently in this Week 2 matchup.
