The 4-0 Vikings have two All-Stars in the FOX Sports lineup this week.
Drumroll please … tight end T.J. Hockenson earned his first distinction of 2026 after nabbing 13 catches, and outside linebacker Dallas Turner garnered his second mention with 2.0 sacks.
Greg Auman recognized both players were huge for Minnesota in its 15-10 win over Miami.
Hockenson's big day included resetting the franchise record for receptions in a game against the Dolphins, surpassing Cris Carter, Jake Reed and Sammy White, who each had a game with nine, and Turner had his fifth career strip sack and second this season to tie Yannick Ngakoue in 2020 for the most through the first four games of a Vikings campaign.
Auman wrote the following about Hockenson:
We heard a lot from Raiders fans unhappy that Brock Bowers didn't get this nod last week, and we're snubbing him again. His 86 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs were compelling, but T.J. Hockenson slid at the 1-yard line, giving up a touchdown to help the Minnesota Vikings finish out a close win over the Miami Dolphins. Hockenson still had 13 catches for 119 yards, matching the second-most catches by a tight end in the last five years (he also had 13 in Week 16 against the Giants in 2022). This wasn't the record-setting scoring week for tight ends that Week 3 was, but Hockenson was the best of the bunch.
And here's what Auman said of Turner, who was also a Week 2 All-Star:
Turner returned to form (note: never left) with two sacks in the Vikings defense-driven win over the Dolphins. His 5.5 sacks are a half shy of Buffalo's Greg Rousseau for the NFL lead.
Here's the running tab of Vikings All-Stars through the first month of the season.
Week 1: WR Justin Jefferson & OLB Andrew Van Ginkel
Week 2: OLB Dallas Turner
Week 3: ST Myles Price
Week 4: TE T.J. Hockenson and OLB Dallas Turner
LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN

Franchise records against teams you rarely play is not a franchise record. Against the Packers or Lions or Bears, maybe.
