T.J. Hockenson News
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hockenson has been dealing with this issue for a couple of weeks now, so it seems like something he will continue to be able to play through. Due to the thin nature of the position, no matter how banged up he may be, he is a must-start option if active. If he is a surprise inactive on Sunday, Darren Fells would take on TE1 duties and could have a significant role. Nonetheless, this doesn't seem like something fantasy managers should worry about holding him out.
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Hockenson has been bothered by a knee injury in recent weeks. While he has played through the injury, the 24-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Week 2 and has only eight receptions on 13 targets for 74 yards in the last three games. Hockenson has also been asked to block a bit more of late with Detroit's offensive line banged up, so that hasn't helped his cause. He'll be facing a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed only 153 receiving yards and one TD to tight ends through five weeks, but Hockenson remains firmly in the TE1 mix despite his recent cold stretch.
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Hockenson also missed practice last Wednesday but was limited the rest of the week and played in the Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It was another disappointing game, though, as he caught just two passes for 22 yards. Both Hockenson's injury and the team's banged-up offensive line are concerns for fantasy managers right now. The 24-year-old has taken on a bit more blocking in recent weeks, which could be the primary reason why he's had down weeks recently. Hockenson remains a TE1 at a weak position, but he'll also be facing a Bengals defense that has allowed just 4.3 fantasy points per game to TEs through five weeks.

T.J. Hockenson was one of just five tight ends who reached the century mark in targets last year. Hockenson was drafted with the eighth overall pick and many scouting grades had him not far behind their current grading of Kyle Pitts. It may seem...
