Minnesota Vikings

Vikings Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson had a big second half after coming over from the Lions in a midseason trade. Now entering his first first season with Minnesota, he should remain a major part of Kevin O'Connell's offense.

Let's take a look at Hockenson's over/under prop totals for 2023, via BetOnline.

T.J. Hockenson - Receiving Yards 2023 Regular Season

  • Over/Under 775.5

Hockenson finished with a career-high 914 yards a year ago, surpassing his 2020 total of 723. If you include his 129-yard playoff performance against the Giants, he averaged 59 receiving yards in 11 post-trade games with the Vikings. That's a 17-game pace of just over 1,000 yards.

Justin Jefferson is the clear No. 1 target in the offense, but it feels like Hockenson has a good shot to finish second — ahead of Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn. If he stays healthy, 800 yards should be attainable. 

Only Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews have higher totals than Hockenson right now.

T.J. Hockenson — Receptions 2023 Regular Season

  • Over/Under 75.5

Hockenson was a high-volume target in the Vikings' offense, catching nine passes in his Minnesota debut and 23 in two games against the Giants. He finished with 70 receptions in 11 games, a 17-game pace of 108. That would be difficult to sustain, but like with yards, this one probably just comes down to health.

T.J. Hockenson — Receiving TDs 2023 Regular Season

  • Over/Under 5.5

Hockenson caught six touchdown passes last year, matching his 2020 career high. More red zone opportunities could be available in Minnesota now that Adam Thielen has departed.
