Fant or Hockenson?

Postby wickerkat1212 » Sat Mar 23, 2019 2:34 pm

Rookie TEs coming out. Before they land, who do you like better?

Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
Height: 6-5. Weight: 241.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65. (ACTUAL 4.5)
Projected Round (2019): 2-3.

3/7/19: In 2018, Fant totaled 39 receptions for 519 yards and seven touchdowns. He is an athletic mismatch weapon as a receiver who could develop into a three-down starter in the NFL if he can improve his blocking. Team sources feel that Fant's blocking is weak entering the next level. They also feel that he does not have really natural hands, but he can run. They have concerns about his personal makeup. Fant helped himself with a fast 40 at the combine. (WalterFootball.com)

T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
Height: 6-5. Weight: 250.
Projected 40 Time: 4.64. (ACTUAL 4.7)
Projected Round (2019): 1-2.

3/7/19: Hockenson was a surprise early-entry into the 2019 NFL Draft. It wasn't a bad decision though, as he could be the first tight end selected. While splitting targets with Noah Fant in 2018, Hockenson totaled 49 receptions for 760 yards with six touchdowns. He has good size and showed some impressive receiving skills over the past season. To go along with being a receiving mismatch weapon, Hockenson is a very good blocker who should quickly develop into a three-down starter in the NFL. (WalterFootball.com)

Gun to my head I'd go Hockenson. It really depends on where they land, so I reserve the right to change my mind. Lol. I go Hock for now due to his ability to play three downs on the reg.

I've been back and fourth on this also. Landing spot will likely dictate, but at the moment I think Hockenson may be the better NFL TE and Fant may be the better fantasy option.

I’m torn between but I’ve seen lots that Hockenson is the better NFL option because he’s a good blocker and solid receiver but Fant for fantasy/dynasty because he’s more of an offensive weapon to cause mis-matches

I'd love to hear thoughts once we get landing spots. Maybe toss in Smith, too.

As someone who took Burton over Kittle cause Burton was the "safer" bet as a fantasy/receiving TE, I will be 100% choosing Hockenson over Fant.

I don't have a first round pick, only have 2.04. Trying to move up to get in a spot where I can take a run at Hock here.

I see a better version of Jared Cook when I watch Fant. I really don't have much interest in him unless he goes to prime landing spot like GB/NE.

I love the Shockey and Hock comparison. I really like Hock, and think he projects well at just about any landing spot because of how well he does everything. We are a 1 TE league, so it's hard to value TE too highly, but I could see going Hock at my 1.08 or trying to move down some and still grab him.

I’ll probably have Fant 1-2 spots higher on my rookie board, due to the lack of surrounding talent and the fact that he was drafted purely for his receiving prowess.

I like both landing spots tho.
