T.J. Hockenson Fantasy

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught five passes for a team-high 89 receiving yards in the Lions 41-25 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving. Hockenson got off to a promising start, coming down with a 51-yard reception. The talented tight end saw eight targets in the game but his production dissipated in the second half with the Lions down multiple scores. The Lions season is going off the rails but Hockenson continues to be a bright spot. He didn't find the end zone but should continue to be one of the main focal points in the passing offense moving forward.

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) was limited in practice as the team prepares to take on the Texans to kick off Thanksgiving Thursday. This is a new injury and it very well could be precautionary heading into a short week. But fantasy teams will have to keep an eye on this situation heading into the game as Hockenson has emerged as a solid red zone threat with five touchdowns this season. The Lions will face a Texans Defense that is allowing the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season and have not allowed 10 or more fantasy points to an opposing tight end since Week 3. Fantasy teams will need to check Hockenson's status heading into the game but, if he is healthy, will be a touchdown-dependent option in Week 12.

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught four passes for 68 yards in the Lions 20-0 loss to the Panthers in Week 11. In a game where the Lions offense was abysmal throughout, Hockenson was able to provide a semblance of consistency, leading the team with seven targets and 68 receiving yards. The Lions season is trending in the wrong direction and will now turn around to play on a short-week against the Texans on Thanksgiving. Fantasy teams will need to check the status of quarterback Matthew Stafford's right thumb injury throughout the week to see who will be throwing passes to Hockenson in Week 11.
