What It Means:

Hockenson has logged back-to-back limited practices to open the Vikings' Week 11 prep, so it does seem like he should be good to by Sunday as he says. The star tight end added that he was feeling '80%' healthy entering Week 10 before taking a beating during that contest, but is now recovering nicely. It sounds like his rib injury should be behind him before too much longer.

Hockenson is projected for 11.5 FanDuel points this week, the most among all tight ends on the Week 11 slate. His matchup with the Broncos looks good based on season-long trends, but it is worth noting that the Broncos' defense has tightened up in recent weeks and has limited the Bills and Chiefs to 31 combined points in their last two games.
