The hype for the Detroit Lions from their Hard Knocks season has unfortunately faded. They take a 1-5 record into their game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 30. The Lions' offense has been battered and bruised this season, but looks to be pretty healthy for this game. Tight end TJ Hockenson has been a popular target for quarterback Jared Goff and he has shown that he remains a reliable tight end for fantasy.

Hockenson has 23 receptions on 39 targets for 315 yards and three touchdowns. He is typically the most targeted pass-catcher on the offense and is also a great check-down option for Goff.
