1 Vikings Skill Guy Looks Rejuvenated

Vikings Territory writer K. Joudry highlights Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson as looking rejuvenated during the 2026 season. In a recent game against the Indianapolis Colts, Hockenson caught four passes for 35 yards and scored Minnesota's lone touchdown. Across the season, he has totaled 27 receptions for 237 yards and two touchdowns while serving as a primary target for quarterback Kyler Murray.

Joudry notes that Hockenson is positioned to comfortably exceed his 2025 production after struggling to regain form following a severe 2023 knee injury. Ahead of the 2026 season, interim GM Rob Brzezinski reworked Hockenson's contract to a one-year, $10.25 million deal, setting the 29-year-old up to enter free agency with strong momentum.
