FanDuel NFL 2020: Best lineup for Week 2
By Nick Villano
Tight End: T.J. Hockenson $5,600
T.J. Hockenson might be one of the biggest breakouts to watch this season. People forget the Detroit Lions selected the tight end with the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. It was clear they had big plans for him as part of this offense.
Last week, the Lions made Hockenson a part of this offense. He had five receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. The Lions are going to be looking for the big tight end when they get in the red zone this season, especially with a healthy Matthew Stafford. Last season was sort of a lost season for the Lions and Hockenson. This season, they will make up for lost time.
This week, the Lions take on the Green Bay Packers. Kyle Rudolph didn’t do much to hurt them, but that’s hard to use as a judgment for this week. Rudolph hasn’t been a good option for a few seasons. Hockenson is a true weapon in the Lions offense.
If Aaron Rodgers has the monster day he did last week, the Lions will need to try to keep up with them through the air. Hockenson could help them make up yards underneath and score points when it matters.
Other options: Zach Ertz $6,300, O.J. Howard $4,800
