Vikings TE Smith Jr. returns to practice
Minnesota Vikings tight end IRV SMITH JR. returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time in two months after suffering a high ankle sprain in late October. The Vikings have… More three weeks to activate Smith, who remains on injured reserve, or have him sit for the remainder of the season. Head coach Kevin O’Connell said that Smith’s status will be determined by how his ankle reacts to practice. Ankle injury aside, Smith’s fantasy value took a hit when the Vikings signed former Detroit Lions tight end T.J. HOCKENSON on November 1st. Less

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. HOCKENSON said recently that he is preparing himself to be the best he can be, adding that he knows his “ceiling is high”. The Lions wide… More receiving corps is among the shallowest units in the NFL, meaning that Hockenson should have a world of opportunity heading into the upcoming season.

Hockenson should be terribly concerned about Fells' presence, but it is something to factor into his projection. more »
