T.J. Hockenson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Our advice on whether you should start or sit T.J. Hockenson for your fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Bench outside of TE premium formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: Mid-range TE3
ANALYSIS: The fantasy community is abuzz about T.J. Hockenson.

For those fantasy managers who took a gamble on him during the drafts, the payoff could be huge. Let’s be real: with some top tight ends not quite hitting their marks this season, a healthy Hock could truly be a league winner.
Hockenson was a last-minute scratch against Detroit in Week 7, and it feels like his moment is just around the corner. Coach Kevin O’Connell’s recent hints suggest that Hock is physically prepped and might just find his spotlight in a prime-time showdown against the Rams at SoFi Stadium this Thursday.
Nonetheless, Hock will likely be on a snap count and should be sat in just about all formats until we can see the product on the field, especially with no teams on a bye in Week 8.
