From the video
look how bad the Lions are at covering tight ends. They are 29.4 fantasy points per game to tight ends. That's eight more than the next closest defense. They're a major tight end funnel... T.J. Hockenson is tied with Trey McBride at 0.28. Kyler Murray, oh baby. He's targeting T.J. Hockenson as a 0.31 target per route run. That means he's getting a target on basically a third of his routes with Kyler Murray under center. That's above Justin Jefferson by quite a bit.
STACKED’s take
Lions allow 29.4 FPPG to TEs; Hockenson 0.31 TPRR with Murray, top-6 target share
T.J. Hockenson is positioned for a great Week 8 game against Minnesota. The Lions' defense is historically poor at covering tight ends, allowing 29.4 fantasy points per game to the position—eight more than the next closest defense. The Lions are a major tight end funnel, giving up league-high 602 yards to tight ends, approximately 100 yards more than any other defense, with tight ends including Juwan Johnson, Noah Fant, Dalton Kincaid, Kanyon Sandick, Jeremy Ruckert, Trey McBride, and Tucker Kraft all scoring 13+ fantasy points against them. Under Kyler Murray specifically, Hockenson's target rate jumps to 0.31 targets per route run—meaning he gets a target on basically a third of his routes with Murray under center, which is above Justin Jefferson by quite a bit. His yards per route run with Murray is 2.29, and his target share ranks in the top six league-wide. Hockenson is tied with Trey McBride for the league lead in targets per route run at 0.28.
