What happened

Underdog NFL reported that Addison and Hockenson are set to play in Week 7.

Context

Hockenson has 49.2 PPR points through five games this season, with 27 targets, 23 receptions, 202 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. He is coming off a Week 5 game with 1.7 PPR points and one reception. Addison has 33.2 PPR points through four games, with 22 targets, 11 receptions, 163 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.

Timeline

On October 8, Jordan Addison returned to practice Thursday ahead of Week 5, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. On October 9, the Vikings listed Addison and Justin Jefferson as questionable for Week 5 at the New Orleans Saints. On October 23, Addison was a full participant in Thursday’s practice, and T.J. Hockenson was listed as a full practice participant by Underdog NFL.

What’s next

The Vikings host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, October 25, in Week 7.

Jordan Addison (hamstring), TJ Hockenson (concussion) will play Week 7.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Addison returns to the lineup after missing time with a hamstring injury. He has been a productive receiver when healthy, averaging 8.3 PPR points per game. With Justin Jefferson occupying significant defensive attention, Addison can be started as a WR3 or flex option in Week 7 against the Colts. Hockenson has been a reliable tight end option, coming off a down Week 5 before the bye. His 23 receptions rank him favorably among tight ends, and he should be started as a TE1. The next wide receivers on the depth chart—Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, and Myles Price—have combined for fewer than 22 PPR points this season, so Addison’s return is a major boost for the Vikings’ passing attack.
