Hockenson deemed safest start as Jefferson, Addison face injury questions

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is expected to be a solid fantasy start in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. Both wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are questionable due to injuries, which may impact their availability. Hockenson had a strong performance in Week 4, catching 13 passes for 119 yards, while Jefferson's ankle injury and Addison's hamstring issue create uncertainty for the Vikings' passing game. New Orleans allows 17.9 PPR points per game to tight ends, ranking eighth in the league. Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell has elevated receivers from the practice squad for depth as the team prepares for their matchup on Sunday.
