T.J. Hockenson Poised for Quality Volume Against Former Team in Detroit

Fully healthy and anchoring Minnesota's tight end corps, Hockenson travels to Detroit for a high-stakes divisional battle indoors at Ford Field. With backup Josh Oliver sidelined on injured reserve, Hockenson retains virtually uncontested tight end snaps after hauling in four passes and a touchdown in his last outing.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a reliable TE1. Our weekly projections target 4.5 receptions and roughly 41 receiving yards, with plenty of room to grow if Minnesota's undefeated squad is pushed into a negative game script as road underdogs.
