Vikings QB Sam Darnold struggled for most of Sunday's win over the Cardinals but saved his fantasy line (and the victory) with a pair of TD passes late. Darnold hit TE Johnny Mundt from 4 yards out for a score near the end of the third quarter. He found RB Aaron Jones for a 5-yard TD late in the fourth to take the lead for good. Darnold finished the game with 235 yards, 2 TDs, 5 sacks taken but no turnovers.
Hockenson was outdone by fellow Vikings TE Johnny Mundt, who had 22 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals. Hockenson ran a pass route on 29 of the team's 41 drop backs while Mundt logged just 11 routes. Hockenson's quiet Week 13 outing came after a breakout 114-yard performance last week against the Bears. The balanced, low-volume Minnesota offense will likely continue to struggle to create fantasy production for all of its pass catchers. Hockenson gets a matchup with a beatable Falcons secondary in Week 14.
