The Minnesota Vikings face uncertainty as they enter the 2025 NFL season, notably around key players like T.J. Hockenson, who has been labeled a fantasy football 'bust'. Following a disappointing season where Hockenson recorded his lowest catch rate and failed to score a touchdown, expectations have shifted. As he gears up for another season with a rookie quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, concerns mount regarding his ability to regain his previous form amidst a revamped offensive structure centered on Justin Jefferson.

This season's draft strategies for the Vikings will require a careful assessment of player potential, as many of their offensive weapons, including Hockenson, are under scrutiny. Drafters are advised to tread cautiously given the uncertainties surrounding player performance and team dynamics.
