Flex Rankings: NFL Fantasy Week 13

If tight ends count as flex options in your league, be sure to give T.J. Hockenson consideration for the spot this week.

So apparently I like many of the tight ends in my fantasy Week 13 flex rankings more than the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). And one of those TEs I really like a lot more is T.J. Hockenson.

Yup, that makes some sense given how high I am on Hockenson this week.

First off, he was a great asset when he was in Detroit to start the season, but he's been even better since arriving in Minnesota. Since being traded on Nov. 1, he's seen 34 targets or nearly nine a game. And he's trending up, having scored his first touchdown in Viking purple this past week.

Hockenson is currently the third-best TE in fantasy with 136.70 PPR points. Those points would make him a WR2, ahead of the likes of wide receivers such as DeVonta Smith, Chris Godwin, and teammate Adam Thielen.

Yeah, I'm high on Hockenson, but rightfully so.
