T.J. Hockenson

Hockenson wasn't able to stay on the field last year, but when he did play, he showed us how much of a weapon he can be. He still needs to progress in a lot of ways, but the future is bright for the young tight end. With that being said, Hockenson's going to have some games where he's a great streaming matchup, but otherwise he's unlikely to see the necessary targets to be relevant for fantasy football. He's nothing more than a mid-range TE2 with streaming upside in certain matchups this season.

T.J. Hockenson (ankle) ‘might not be quite 100 percent’ per Lions’ OC

T.J. Hockenson has been running routes, but his ankle injury “might not be quite 100 percent yet,” per Lions’ OC Darren Bevell.

Fantasy Impact

“Hockenson is well on his way to being there,” and the Lions are comfortable with his progress,” Bevell added. The 22-year-old was placed on the injured reserve in December with a right ankle injury. Fantasy owners should continue to monitor his status. Barring a setback, he should be all systems go by the time training camp starts. Hockenson hauled in 32 receptions for 367 yards and two touchdowns across 12 games in 2019. He is currently 17th among all tight ends in the latest expert consensus rankings.
