Hockenson has accounted for 27.3% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the leading projections forecast him to be a less important option in Minnesota's passing offense near the goal line in this contest at 19.0%.T.J. Hockenson profiles as one of the worst possession receivers in football among tight ends, catching just 65.9% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) this year, ranking in the 21st percentile.
