In the 2014–15 season, Hoffer started the opening game of the season well when he set up a goal for Benschop, in a 2–2 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig. He then scored twice on 30 August 2014, in a 3–0 win over Erzgebirge Aue. This was followed up by scoring in the next game on 15 September 2014, in a 2–0 win over 1. FC Nürnberg. He and Benschop continued to form a striking partnership since the start of the 2014–15 season. However, Hoffer's form led him being replaced by Joel Pohjanpalo and was placed on the substitute bench for most of the season. Although he had some playing time, mostly coming on from the substitute bench, as well as, his own injury concerns, Hoffer scored again for the first time in eight months, in a 2–0 win over SV Sandhausen on 17 May 2015. In his second season at Fortuna Düsseldorf, Hoffer made 22 appearances scoring 4 times.
