2 years agoDetroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson posted just 7.8 PPR points in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, fantasy managers who drafted him probably took him as a top-eight tight end, so it's too early to panic and bench him. Ultimately, his upside still places him as a top ten tight end play, at worst. Washington's passing defense was one of the worst in the league last year, so the matchup isn't worrisome enough to steer away from the former Iowa Hawkeye. With D.J. Chark, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and D'Andre Swift in the same offense, Hockenson will have his fair share of unproductive weeks, but again, his upside makes it worth playing him in just about any matchup.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBaller
