The conversation on X

X praises Hockenson’s breakout while debating fantasy value and his goal-line slide

X broadly agrees that Hockenson had a highly productive game, emphasizing his 13 catches, 119 yards, and large role with Justin Jefferson absent.

The main split is between fantasy-focused posts recommending Hockenson and posts that praise the performance more generally. Some posts also see improving timing with Kyler Murray and greater offensive potential.

The goal-line play produces a separate disagreement: some say sliding was strategically correct, while a betting-focused post says it cost Minnesota backers. Compared with the podcast story, X adds more fantasy-start advice and stronger praise for Hockenson, while also echoing the podcasts’ uncertainty about Murray and debate over the slide.

  • Hockenson is a strong fantasy start39%

    Supporters say his heavy target volume, favorable matchup, and production with Justin Jefferson absent make him a reliable fantasy option. Some also expect another strong game if Jefferson remains out.

    • “🗣️ Mike Gesicki is a TE start vs the Dolphins He's scored a TD and topped 12 fantasy points in three of four games. The Bengals' WR room is banged up, and Miami just gave up 13 catches for 119 yards to T.J. Hockenson. Matt Okada's TE start.”

  • Hockenson led Minnesota’s offense14%

    • “DEVELOPING: #Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson JUST CARRIED Minnesota’s offense in a HUGE win. 🏆 Hockenson went OFF against the Dolphins, tying his career high with 13 catches for 119 yards on 13 targets as Minnesota escaped with a 15-10 victory. 🤯 But his BIGGEST play wasn’t even a”

    • “This is the Kyler Murray we've been waiting to see. Also, what a game for T.J. Hockenson. 11 for 106.”

      @WillRagatz · Oct 4

  • The Hockenson-Murray connection is improving14%

    Supporters see better timing between Kyler Murray and Hockenson and view the late-game passing as evidence that Minnesota’s offense may have more potential than it has shown.

    • “The Vikings are 4-0 and somehow I still feel like we haven’t seen this offense yet. Kyler went 12/13 for 112 yards in the 4th quarter Sunday. T.J. Hockenson just had 13 catches for 119 yards. Justin Jefferson could be back. And KOC is still figuring out how to build this”

      @SK_NFL · Oct 6

    • “Great job by Kyler Murray on that play finding T.J. Hockenson! #SKOL”

      @stevehoikkala · Oct 4

    • “His current team has Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addsion & TJ Hockenson…Wtf are we talking about here…And he had the opportunity and they still went to Kyler Murray”

      @_ChrisFrom502 · Oct 7

  • Sliding was the right strategic decision7%

    Supporters say going down near the goal line protected Minnesota’s lead, allowed the team to run out the clock, and prevented Miami from getting another possession.

    • “TJ Hockenson had 13 catches for 119 yards, and somehow the conversation is about him NOT scoring. You're GETTING ANGRY Over Nothing!! He slid at the one so the Vikings could kneel out the game. Miami never got another possession. If he scores, the Vikings win. If he slides,”

      @Brawl_w_TimPaul · Oct 5

    • “T.J. Hockenson had a wide-open touchdown. He deliberately didn’t take it. The Vikings were protecting a 15–10 lead over Miami with just over two minutes left. Hockenson caught a pass at the Miami 10. The end zone was right there. Instead, he slid down at the 2-yard line.”
