Hockenson rates as one of the TEs with the biggest workloads near the end zone in football.The Minnesota offensive line ranks as the 8th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the passer, which has a strong impact on all passing offense metrics across the board.This year, the imposing Browns run defense has allowed a measly 0.50 TDs on the ground per game to opposing offenses: the 3rd-best rate in the league.
