T.J. Hockenson climbs fantasy tight end rankings ahead of Week 8 byes

With George Kittle and Isaiah Likely unavailable during Week 8 byes, the tight-end rankings point fantasy managers toward Minnesota’s T.J. Hockenson, who has been a regular target and recently scored, while Hunter Henry and Mason Taylor also enter the week with favorable outlooks. Rookie receiver Antonio Williams is a potential waiver addition after catching three passes for 50 yards, with a larger role possible following Terry McLaurin’s injury. Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards and a touchdown in a 16-10 loss, though the team’s lack of a running game limited the offense. Atlanta tight end Kyle Pitts caught all five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown, extending a three-game run in which he has scored four times.
