STACKED’s take
Hockenson's elite man-coverage efficiency matches Detroit's worst tight-end defense.
Hockenson draws the best matchup available for opposing tight ends in Week 8 against Detroit. The Lions allow the most receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points per game to tight ends this season and deploy as much man coverage as any team in football. Against man coverage this season, Hockenson is averaging 3.3 yards per route run, the highest mark among all tight ends. He's run out routes nearly 23% of the time, which is notable given Detroit allows the third-most catches (25), fifth-most yards (233), and fourth-highest catch rate (78.1%) off out routes this season. Even with Brian Branch back last week, Tucker Kraft posted 48 yards and a score against Detroit. Minnesota's passing game has been underwhelming, but the source expects that to change in Detroit, and Hockenson could have revenge on his mind.
