The Big Picture: Justin Jefferson’s Silence Speaks Volumes on Vikings QB Situation

Leading receiver in shutout loss Hockenson corralled all six of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Hockenson was the lone bright spot for Minnesota's passing offense after converting all of his targets into a team-high 59 yards. The 27-year-old tied his previous season best with six receptions, while the yardage did represent a new high-water mark in an otherwise disappointing campaign. With a 44-358-2 receiving line through 12 starts, Hockenson is providing the bare minimum at a shallow fantasy position for managers this season. That said, he offers little upside against the Commanders next Sunday.

Four receptions in loss Hockenson had four receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

Impact J.J. McCarthy's abysmal play at quarterback (87 yards passing, two interceptions in the loss) has made almost every Vikings receiver a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Hockensen is at least getting some dump-off passes (seven receptions last two games), but they are not resulting in much yardage. Hockenson's outlook isn't any better next week in a tough matchup at Seattle.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Three receptions in loss Hockenson had three receptions for 39 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to Chicago.

Impact There were some encouraging signs for Hockenson as the Vikings offense used him more in short routes over the middle that were lacking in quarterback J.J. McCarthy's previous starts. However, McCarthy and the passing game struggled overall, which limits Hockenson's upside. McCarthy was just 16-of-32 passing as he struggled with accuracy and had two interceptions.

Just two receptions in loss Hockenson had two receptions for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

Impact Hockenson hasn't had much action with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback as he's had just 12 targets in his four games behind center. He's not blocking more with Josh Oliver sidelined (foot) as he went out on a route on 44 of his 58 snaps on offense, so there's some hope for an increase in receptions.

Scores TD in Week 9 win Hockenson had two receptions for 11 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown, on three targets in Sunday's win at Detroit.

Impact Hockenson played on 48 of the offense's 62 snaps and went out for a pass on 28 of them, which was about his usual pattern. However, quarterback J.J. McCarthy attempted just 25 passes, which didn't leave a lot of targets for the receiving corps after Justin Jefferson (nine targets). It's promising that McCarthy looked for Hockenson in the red zone.
