Vikings vs. Giants
T.J. Hockenson did not play in Weeks 17 and 18 of last season. Johnny Mundt received seven and six targets in those games, respectively. He caught nine of those targets for one touchdown. He will be the top tight end for Sam Darnold on Sunday, and his odds are too high. His usage at the end of last season tells us how he will be used as Hockenson is on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list for the first four weeks. The big stat is he played 75% of the snaps when replacing Hockenson last season. He will be on the field and has a much better chance of catching the first touchdown than his odds suggest.
Pick: Johnny Mundt (+2900 via FanDuel Sportsbook)
