BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is expected to be a "full go" and thus will be a TE1 this week. He's elite, and he'll provide a huge boost to fantasy teams if he gets enough targets to have a big day. It's reasonable to be skeptical of him receiving a full workload in his first game back, though.
No TE has been that impressive through 7 weeks. T.J. Hockenson is gonna make a huge impact & climb this list fairly fast when he returns. #Vikings #Skol https://t.co/7BeFUVCCem pic.twitter.com/qGE70iLj61

The upside is tremendous, though. It's risky to bench him. He's one of the best in the league, and could finish the year as the TE1 in points per game with how things have been going at the position this year.
TJ Hockenson has been on another level so far this year:

⭐ 681 receiving yards

You shouldn't bench him. He's a stud. Very few players can provide the upside he does at TE, and in shootout matches in your fantasy football leagues, the tight ends can often be the difference.
Expect Hock back in his old role, expect QB Sam Darnold to look his way often, expect head coach Kevin O'Connell to scheme him open, and expect him to produce.
