T.J. Hockenson News
Detroit Lions Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson (thumb) underwent thumb surgery Thursday morning with renowned hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham. Hockenson is expected to make a complete recovery in time for the offseason program, according to sources, but his 2021 season is now over. Well there it is. Hockenson missed the Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos and will now miss the rest of Detroit's season. He can safely be dropped in redraft leagues. The 24-year-old will finish with 61 catches for 583 yards and four touchdowns on 84 targets in 12 games played. His absence the rest of the way will mean more looks for receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds, while rookie Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra will split TE repetitions. Wright and Zylstra are only worth chasing in deep two-TE leagues.
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (hand) will not practice on Wednesday. It's not a good sign for his Week 15 availability against the Arizona Cardinals after he missed the Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos. Fantasy managers that have been rolling with Hockenson all year long will likely need a replacement for the second straight week as we head into the fantasy postseason in many leagues. With Hockenson sidelined last Sunday, Shane Zylstra (two catches for 18 yards on six targets) and Brock Wright (three catches for 20 yards on five targets) picked up the slack at the position. Although Detroit will likely have to air it out again this Sunday against the Cardinals, neither Zylstra nor Wright should be on fantasy radars as streaming options.
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (hand) is officially out in Week 14. Unfortunately, the 24-year-old won't be out there, and it's not good news for fantasy managers, especially since he's had a touchdown in each of his previous two games. Nonetheless, Brock Wright will get the start against the Broncos, although he should be classified as a desperation start in all formats.

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...
