T.J. Hockenson Faces Tough Challenge Against Baltimore Defense

Detroit, MI – Tight end T.J. Hockenson is gearing up for a challenging matchup this week as he faces the Baltimore Ravens. Hockenson, who has played two games with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, has recorded a target share of only 15.6% and averages just 13 receiving yards per game. His yards per route run stands at a low 0.62, with an 18.8% first-read share.

Last week, Hockenson managed to find the end zone, which contributed significantly to his performance. However, some analysts question whether he can maintain that level of production on a weekly basis. The Ravens have shown to be a formidable defense, allowing the tenth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends, while also ranking 13th in yards per reception allowed.

Despite this, they have also limited tight ends by allowing the tenth-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to the position, making it a tough day for Hockenson in terms of fantasy viability. As game day approaches, it is advisable for fantasy players to weigh their streaming options against Hockenson’s potential output this week.

While he could still finish as a TE1, the matchup raises concerns about his consistency and ability to produce when faced with a strong defense.
