The Minnesota Vikings had a huge fourth quarter in their season opener last week.
On Sunday night, they were shaping up to need one again, and it had fantasy owners of T.J. Hockenson particularly annoyed.
The tight end didn't have any catches through three quarters of play, and it raised the question of his status.

Is T.J. Hockenson playing tonight?
Yes, T.J. Hockenson is playing tonight on Sunday Night Football for the Vikings against the Falcons.
The problem? Through three quarters, he has no statistics.
Hockenson has been targeted twice by Minnesota QB J.J. McCarthy, though. He just hasn't caught either one.
The big tight end already had a quiet opener. He was targeted four times in Week 1, catching three of them for 15 yards.

It's not like McCarthy was hitting a bunch of unusual targets.
The usual suspects like Justin Jefferson and Jalen Nailor were getting the pass-catching work.
Hockenson wanted a piece of it, and if it happens, it'll have to be in the fourth quarter.
