Minnesota Vikings tight end TJ Hockenson is set to return to action after missing the first eight weeks of the 2024 season with a rehab ACL.

Hockenson was injured at the end of the 2023 season, but in recent weeks he has moved from questionable to off the injury report, prompting him to make his Sunday Night Football season debut against the Indianapolis Colts.

Here’s a breakdown of Hockenson’s prop bets for this Week 9 matchup.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Last season, Hockenson was a target hog in Kevin O’Connell’s offense, making 95 receptions on 127 targets in 15 games.

Hock averaged 53.5 receiving yards per game, so he’s a bit underrated based on those numbers in his season debut.

The question is how much will Hockenson be involved in a passing offense that has relied heavily on Justin Jefferson in recent weeks?

I don’t mind taking an OVER on one of Hockenson’s props, but bettors need to be careful that he sees fewer snaps as the team looks to ease him back into action. Since we don’t have data on Hock playing with Sam Darnold, there is an obvious risk involved with him in the prop market.
