T.J. Hockenson finally showed up in Week 3.
The Minnesota Vikings tight end had looked possibly washed up for a couple weeks. But after two quiet games, he looked like his old self again last week.
That raised the bar for him heading into Dublin, Ireland on Sunday for a Week 4 clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But he didn't exactly hit the ground running.

Is T.J. Hockenson playing today?
Yes, T.J. Hockenson is active and playing for the Vikings against the Steelers in Ireland.
The only problem is that Carson Wentz is force-feeding Justin Jefferson in the early going.
Hockenson may not be a focal point of this offense to the extent that some want, although Wentz is probably a better QB to get him production than J.J. McCarthy is.
If you played Hockenson in your fantasy football lineup in Week 4, hope for a touchdown. The Vikings have moved the ball pretty well early on, and Hockenson can still get the job done in the red zone.
But it's not ideal for him to get off to such a quiet opening stage to the early kickoff game.
