Ready for huge workload
Hockenson is "poised for even more" this season, according to Benjamin Raven of MLive.com.
Analysis: Despite having major ankle surgery at the end of his rookie season, Hockenson bounced back in Year 2 to start 16 games, handling a 73.2 percent snap share and 101 targets. The eighth overall pick from the 2019 Draft could now see even more work in his third NFL season, after the Lions traded QB Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff and then lost WRs Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones in free agency. Touchdowns may be hard to come by on a rebuilding team, but Hockenson is one of the few tight ends in the…read more

Quiet in season-ending loss
Hockenson caught three of three targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 37-35 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Hockenson's numbers are a little disappointing given the mouthwatering matchup, but he still tied for third on the team in targets on a day during which Marvin Jones stole the show with eight catches for 180 yards and two scores on 11 looks. Hockenson will now turn the page on a highly successful sophomore campaign that saw the 2019 first-round pick grab 67 receptions for 723 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games after recording 32 catches for 367 yards and two scores in 12 games as a rookie.…read more

Quiet after Stafford injury
Hockenson caught four of six targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Matthew Stafford hurt his ankle on Detroit's first drive, and the combination of Chase Daniel and David Blough guided the offense to zero points, leading to underwhelming performances from all of the team's skill position players. This was the fifth-lowest yardage total of Hockenson's breakout sophomore season, and the tight end has been held to fewer than 25 yards in consecutive games heading into next week's season finale against Minnesota.

Fumbles on final drive
Hockenson caught two of four targets for 18 yards and carried once for no yards with one fumble during Sunday's 46-25 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: After seeing 20 total targets in his first two games with Darrell Bevell as interim head coach, Hockenson was keyed on by a Titans secondary that entered the game allowing the fourth-highest completion rate (76.8 percent) and eighth-most yards per target (8.3) to tight ends in 2020. D'Andre Swift's involvement near the goal line also played a role in Hockenson's disappointing turnout, and Hockenson also fumbled on an end-around on a critical third-and-one during a potential game-tying drive in…read more

Season-high 11 targets
Hockenson caught six of 11 targets for 43 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: With Kenny Golladay (hip) still out and Detroit playing from behind most of the day, Hockenson was busy and saw a new season high in targets. The Packers didn't let him do much with those opportunities though, and Hockenson's touchdown came on a designed shovel pass from one yard out. While the potential absence of Matthew Stafford (ribs) in Week 15 is not good news for the young tight end, a downgrade in quarterback play isn't the end of the world for a top-shelf talent like Hockenson against…read more

Reels in seven passes
Hockenson caught seven of his nine targets for 84 yards during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.
Analysis: Hockenson was a vital contributor in crunch time, recording three receptions for 33 yards (on five targets) during the fourth quarter. This isn't the first occasion this season the second-year tight end has delivered in the clutch, as he also recorded a game-tying touchdown Week 7 against the Falcons as time expired in regulation. He's posted 241 receiving yards on 16 receptions over his past three games heading into a matchup with the Packers in Week 14. Though it ultimately came in a losing…read more

Leading receiver in loss
Hockenson caught five of eight targets for 89 yards in Thursday's 41-25 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: While Marvin Jones caught one more ball, it was Hockenson who led Detroit in receiving yards on the afternoon. The second-year tight end has caught multiple passes in every game so far this season, and he should remain one of Matthew Stafford's main options in Week 13's road contest against the Bears.

Ready to go Week 12
Hockenson (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Texans, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Hockenson began the week with two straight limited practices, but he managed to upgrade to a full session Wednesday. The top tight will have the benefit of Matthew Stafford (thumb) under center Thursday, and with Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip) both ruled out, Hockenson could draw increased target volume this week.

Limited in practice Tuesday
Hockenson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A second straight limited session to start the week signals that Hockenson should be good to go for Thursday's game against the Texans. The 23-year-old tight end posted a season-high 68 receiving yards last week against the Panthers, and he could garner a similar amount of opportunities if Kenny Golladay (hip) sits out again.

Listed as limited participant
Hockenson was listed as a limited participant with a shoulder injury on Monday's practice estimation, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old entered Sunday's loss to Carolina with a toe injury, and he apparently picked up the shoulder issue while catching four of seven targets for a season-high 68 yards. Hockenson appears on track to be available for the Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Texans, and he could avoid an injury designation if he can put in a full practice in the next two days.

New season high in receiving yards
Hockenson caught four of seven targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 20-0 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: On a day the Detroit offense generally struggled without each of Kenny Golladay (hip), Danny Amendola (hip) and D'Andre Swift (concussion), Hockenson managed to set a new season high in receiving yardage. Now with at least a touchdown or 60 yards receiving in eight of 10 games this season, Hockenson has been a model of consistency at an otherwise weak fantasy position. While he's yet to display the upside he showed in the 2019 season opener when the then-rookie had 131 yards and a score against…read more

Good to go Sunday
Hockenson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Carolina, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Hockenson has been listed with a toe injury for almost a month now, but he's still handled at least four targets and 60 percent of offensive snaps in every game this season. He figures to be a big part of the Week 11 gameplan, with Kenny Golladay (hip), Danny Amendola (hip) and D'Andre Swift (concussion) all ruled out.

Remains limited
Hockenson (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Hockenson's reps were capped for the second day in a row, but the Lions don't seem to have any real concern that he'll miss Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Hockenson can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Limited by toe injury
Hockenson (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Hockenson managed to play through the toe injury during Sunday's last-second win over Washington, but the issue clearly plagued him on the field. The second-year tight end caught just two of four targets for 13 yards and no touchdowns, finishing with his worst fantasy day of the season. The key members of Detroit's pass-catching group are quite banged up entering a Week 11 matchup with Carolina, as Kenny Golladay (hip) was limited Wednesday, while all of Matthew Stafford (thumb), Marvin Jones…read more

Two catches against Washington
Hockenson caught two of four targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over Washington.
Analysis: Hockenson had been a model of consistency at a weak fantasy position all year, but he was slowed by a Washington unit that entered the game allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends. Perhaps the toe injury that popped up Thursday slowed him down, but there also seemed to be a clear Lions gameplan to feed running back D'Andre Swift, and Marvin Jones ended up seeing a season-high 10 targets. Hockenson will look to rebound in Week 11 against a declining Panthers defense that is…read more

Good to go Sunday
Hockenson (toe) is active for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: The 2019 first-round pick was officially questionable to face the Football Team, though Ian Rapoport indicated in the early morning he was on track to play Week 10. Hockenson has five touchdowns through eight games and is averaging 4.3 catches and 45 yards per contest, but he could see more work in the passing game Sunday with top wideout Kenny Golladay (hip) unavailable.

Hockenson (toe), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hockenson was added to the Lions' Week 10 injury report after he failed to participate in Thursday's practice, but he returned to work Friday in a limited fashion. Confirmation of his status will arrive before the first wave of Sunday kickoffs, with the Lions facing the Football Team at 1 p.m. ET. Assuming he's active, Hockenson would represent one of the top tight-end plays of the Week 10 slate after recording either a touchdown reception or at least 50 yards receiving in each of his eight…read more

Questionable after limited practice
Hockenson (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hockenson was a mid-week addition to the injury report, albeit with the same toe issue that limited his practice participation last week. He was held out of Thursday's practice entirely, before returning Friday as a limited participant. There hasn't been any suggestion the injury is serious, but fantasy managers would be wise to check back when the Lions release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Toe injury surfaces
Hockenson (toe) didn't practice Thursday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Hockenson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so the extent of his participation during Friday's session should shed light on the tight end's chances of suiting up against Washington on Sunday, but for the time being question marks surround his availability. With Kenny Golladay (hip) trending in the wrong direction for Week 10, an absence on Hockenson's part could leave Detroit's pass catching corps depleted of two of its top options.

Commands eight targets
Hockenson recorded five receptions on eight targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Vikings.
Analysis: Hockenson maintained an increased role in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip), as only Danny Amendola commanded more targets. Hockenson worked close to the line of scrimmage and averaged only 7.8 yards per catch, with his longest reception of the day going for 11 yards. That was the cause of what was mostly an uninspiring stat line for Hockenson, one that he helped prop up with a two-yard touchdown grab late in the fourth quarter from backup quarterback Chase Daniel. Hockenson has solidified…read more

Puts in full practice
Hockenson (toe) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The tight end took a step up after being limited in Wednesday's session, clearing up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game in Minnesota. With at least a touchdown or 50-plus receiving yards in each of his seven games this season, Hockenson has been a consistent fantasy producer for his managers. He'll draw a juicy matchup versus a suspect Vikings pass defense this weekend, though Hockenson may have to catch passes from Chase Daniel, who will start at quarterback if Matthew…read more

Dealing with toe injury
Hockenson was limited at Wednesday's practice with a toe injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: While Hockenson didn't find the end zone this past Sunday against the Colts, he otherwise had season bests across the board (seven catches for 65 yards on 10 targets). He may have been helped by Kenny Golladay's departure early in the third quarter due to a hip issue, which is expected to sideline the wideout for at least one game. One further point to note is that if Hockenson is able to gut out his toe injury this weekend at Minnesota, he may be on the receiving end of passes from Chase…read more

Sees double-digit targets
Hockenson caught seven of 10 targets for 65 yards during Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Hockenson saw the second-most targets of his young career in a game in which he served as a quality safety valve for quarterback Matthew Stafford. While the exit of top receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) likely had something to do with his increased workload, Hockenson has been a steady contributor all season and drawing double-digit targets is certainly within his range of outcomes even on days when Golladay stays healthy. Regardless of Golladay's health, Hockenson should remain a solid option at a…read more

Late TD proves to be difference
Hockenson caught five of his six targets for 59 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-22 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: Hockenson snared a game-tying 11-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford as time expired, with Matt Prater clinching the win for Detroit by way of a 48-yard extra point. The 2019 No. 8 overall draft choice has tallied a TD in three consecutive games, though he was held under 20 receiving yards in two of those outings. Hockenson has enjoyed a healthy workload of 5.2 targets per game, but a Week 8 matchup against Indianapolis is prohibitive. The Colts are yet to surrender a tight end TD in 2020…read more

Catches short touchdown
Hockenson recorded two receptions on five targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Hockenson tied for second on the team with five targets, but turned in his second-lowest yardage total of the season. He salvaged his day with a one-yard touchdown, his third of the campaign. Although Hockenson topped 50 yards in his first three games, he has combined to total 26 yards across the last two contests. He'll look to get things back on track in Week 7 in a positive matchup against Atlanta.

Finds end zone on quiet day
Hockenson caught two of four targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-29 loss to the Saints. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Hockenson was mostly held quiet by a Saints defense that had been the weakest in the league at defending tight ends coming into the game, though the second-year pro was able to salvage his day with a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. His two-point conversion capped the scoring, as Detroit never got the ball back after pulling within six with 3:40 to go. Hockenson has caught 15 of 20 targets for 180 yards and two touchdowns heading into Detroit's Week 5 bye.

Unaffected by Golladay's return
Hockenson caught four of seven targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 26-23 victory over Arizona.
Analysis: Hockenson remained a focal point in the passing game despite the return of Golladay, who tied with Hockenson for the team lead in targets. As only one tight end in the league (Noah Fant) currently has a higher passer rating when targeted than Hockenson's gaudy measure of 155.8, per Pro Football Focus, there's a case to be made that Hockenson should be more involved going forward. However, there could also be more days when the Lions opt to pound the rock 22 times with Adrian Peterson, whose…read more

Catches every pass sent his way
Hockenson caught four of four targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: The absences of Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot) seem to have thrown a wrench in the Lions' offensive plans. While Hockenson has secured all nine of the passes sent his way through two weeks, he's only seen one target in the red zone, and his overall upside is likely capped as long as the Lions offense continues to struggle. If Golladay, in particular, remains out Week 3, expectations for Hockenson should remain capped despite a seemingly inviting matchup with the…read more

Catches touchdown in season opener
Hockenson caught five of five targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: A case could be made that Hockenson should have seen more passes on a day Stafford attempted 42 of them without Kenny Golladay (hamstring) at his disposal. However, Hockenson nonetheless did the most with what he was given. His score came by him boxing out a defender in the end zone for a four-yard touchdown. Should Golladay remain sidelined in Week 2, Hockenson will have another chance of seeing an expanded workload in a potentially high-scoring game against Green Bay.

Back to 100 percent
Hockenson said Thursday that he's "100 percent" healthy after he underwent season-ending right ankle surgery last December, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hockenson was already assumed to be healthy entering the season after he wasn't included on the first 2020 injury report the Lions released Wednesday, but it's at least encouraging that the tight end confirmed he's back to full strength after he admitted in mid-August that he wasn't quite back to 100 percent. The 2019 first-round pick will head into his sophomore season as the Lions' starting tight end, and the high-end athleticism he packs into his 6-foot-5, 251-pound frame should give him a…read more

Analysis: Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell made a similar comment in mid-June, noting that the tight end had resumed running routes but likely would need more time to regain his pre-injury explosiveness. Hockenson is working his way back from the ankle injury that ended his rookie season Week 12, and while he's been able to practice with teammates to this point in training camp, it sounds like he's a work in progress.

Hockenson (ankle) was placed on the Lions' reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Hockenson's placement on the list mans that he has either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with an infected person. The 2019 first-round pick -- who is also bouncing back from an ankle injury -- is in line to serve as the Lions' top tight end in 2020.

After reeling off 131 yards and a touchdown on six catches Week 1 against the Cardinals, he surpassed 50 yards just one time in his 11 other appearances, finishing with a 32-367-2 line on 59 targets.

His continued use of a scooter a full month later suggests he had surgery, but neither player nor team has provided confirmation.

Suiting up Thursday
Hockenson (shoulder) is listed as active Thursday versus the Bears.
Analysis: After showing up Saturday on the practice report with a shoulder injury, Hockenson now will play two games in the span of five days. With undrafted rookie David Blough under center, Hockenson may be called upon to block more often than not against a tough Bears front seven. Moreover, Hockenson may split reps with fellow tight ends Jesse James and Logan Thomas, though the latter (a college quarterback) may be the emergency QB option due to Jeff Driskel's sore hamstring.

Analysis: Hockenson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, which is a good sign for his availability after he was labeled as a limited participant in the first two sessions of Week 13. If the rookie first-round pick suits up Thanksgiving Day, he'll lead a tight-end room that also features Jesse James and Logan Thomas.

Even if he suits up, though, he may split work with the Lions' other tight ends for a second straight contest. In this past Sunday's loss at Washington, Hockenson received 33 of 74 offensive snaps, while Jesse James handled 32 and Logan Thomas got 28.

Analysis: Hockenson dealt with this injury leading up to Week 12's loss to the Redskins and appeared to be held back, logging a season-low 33 offensive snaps and his first game without a catch. Since the 22-year-old still is expected to practice this week, he doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of missing a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Bears at this time.

First game without a catch
Hockenson didn't catch either of his targets during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Hockenson was active for the game despite popping up on the injury report late Saturday with a shoulder injury. However, it's fair to wonder to what degree he was physically limited. Not only was this the first game he went without a catch, but the division of playing time between Hockenson (33 offensive snaps), Jesse James (32) and Logan Thomas (28) was as close as it's ever been.

He didn't miss any game action due to the Lions' ensuing bye, but his status for Sunday's game came into question Saturday, when he curiously was added to the injury report with a shoulder injury. Hockenson will be available to the offense but may yield reps to fellow tight ends Jesse James and Logan Thomas.

Dealing with shoulder injury
Hockenson has a shoulder injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.
Analysis: The shoulder injury is a recent development as Hockenson wasn't present on the injury report all week, leaving his status for Sunday firmly up in the air. Jesse James and Logan Thomas would see increased work at tight end should Hockenson be unable to face Washington.

Ties season low in catches
Hockenson caught one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: It's interesting that Hockenson wasn't in the starting lineup even though Detroit opened the game in a two-tight-end formation, but the rookie nonetheless wound up with his second-highest snap share of the season before the final whistle. The issue for him Sunday was that he just didn't see many passes come his way, as Hockenson also finished the game having seen his second-fewest targets of the year. There's optimism for a modest bounce-back effort Week 12 against Washington, but it's hard to…read more

Another three-catch outing
Hockenson caught three of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Hockenson didn't see a significant difference in his involvement with Jeff Driskel filling in for Matthew Stafford (back) under center. The rookie tight end has caught at least three passes in six of his first nine games. He'll face the Cowboys at home in Week 11.

Avoids injury report
Hockenson (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Hockenson was removed during the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's game at Oakland to be evaluated for a concussion. While Hockenson passed all neurological tests, coach Matt Patricia told Justin Rogers of The Detroit News afterward that the tight end had the breath taken out of him. The hit from Raiders safety Erik Harris was enough to keep Hockenson sidelined for the remainder of Sunday's game, but didn't result in any sort of designation on the Lions' initial Week 10 practice report.…read more

Dodges concussion
Head coach Matt Patricia said Hockenson was hit in the back and it took the breath out of the tight end, but Hockenson is not dealing with a concussion, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
Analysis: Hockenson took a hard hit from Raiders safety Erik Harris on the final drive of the game during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Oakland. The rookie had to leave the field to be checked for a head injury, but Hockenson apparently was clear of concussion symptoms, which is especially great news for someone who was just treated for a concussion over Detroit's Week 5 bye thanks to another hit he took late during the Lions' Week 4 loss to Kansas City. Hockenson's level of participation in practice Wednesday…read more

Unable to return to game
Hockenson never returned to Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Raiders after he was evaluated for a potential concussion in the fourth quarter, Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: The Lions didn't have any update after the game, with coach Matt Patricia unable to confirm that Hockenson officially was diagnosed with the injury. The rookie tight end previously suffered a concussion Week 4 against the Chiefs, returning to action after a Week 5 bye. Jesse James and Logan Thomas would be line for more snaps if Hockenson isn't available Week 10 in Chicago.

Being evaluated for concussion
Hockenson is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a big hit Sunday against the Raiders, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Hockenson is currently getting checked out in the blue tent in the fourth quarter. His return should be considered questionable as the Lions look to pull off a late comeback. The tight end mustered three catches for 56 yards before exiting.
