T.J. Hockenson expected to play in Week 6

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) is expected to play in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact: Hockenson is dealing with a knee injury that caused him to miss Wednesday’s practice, but he did return later in the week and is in line to play in Sunday’s matchup with the Bengals. The Bengals are allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends, but Hockenson should be able to exploit any matchup when he is at his best while also factoring in his presumed opportunity share. Hockenson has drawn fewer than three targets in two of his past three games while returning below-average fantasy value. He could get on track in Week 6 but temper your expectations.
