Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (toe) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. We'll definitely monitor this, but for now we're not too worried about his status. If he misses Friday practice as well, then owners will need to make other plans.

Lions Beat: TE T.J. Hockenson creating separation

The Athletic

Oct 26, 2020 · 1:38 PM EDT

Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said last week that the next steps for T.J. Hockenson — how the second-year tight end could earn a bigger share of the passing attack — were “to continue to gain some separation and kind of come through with some big plays for us.”

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Hockenson has checked both those boxes. It added ahead of the Monday night game, here are the players who created more separation on their targets in Week 7, per Next Gen Stats: Deebo Samuel, 49ers (7.0 yards), Evan Engram, Giants (5.2 yards), Christian Kirk, Cardinals (5.1 yards). Hockenson checked in next at 5.0, matching Seattle’s D.K. Metcalf, Carolina’s Curtis Samuel and Atlanta tight end Hayden Hurst. The story added it was a big jump from previous weeks for Hockenson.

Tim Twentyman: Expect T.J. Hockenson to be big part of Lions offense Week 4

Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com conducted his Friday mailbag column and was asked about the Lions featuring TE T.J. Hockenson this week. "T.J. Hockenson has at least four receptions and 50 receiving yards in each of Detroit's first three contests," wrote Twentyman.

"... New Orleans has struggled defending the tight end this season. They've given up 29 catches for 200 yards and four touchdowns in three games to opposing tight ends. I'd expect Hockenson, (Jesse) James and potentially Hunter Bryant, who returned to practice this week, to be a big part of the offense this week. This is a copycat league, and teams will exploit you until you prove you can stop it."

Fantasy Impact:

Hockenson's floor has been zero more often than not over his career, but 2020 has shown a higher floor with a lower ceiling. Hockenson has to step up this week because the Saints do have imposing cornerbacks on the outside and could shut down Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. The second-year tight end should be a TE1 in what has been another down year for the position.

Lions WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 2. Marvin Jones, Quintez Sephus, Danny Amendola and T.J. Hockenson will attempt to pick up the slack.
