Tyreek

Hill

Hill was listed as a DNP on Wednesday, though that’s not anything too unusual for the veteran receiver. Things appeared to be normal after he got back for a full session on Thursday. Miami threw us a curveball on their final injury report, listing Hill as questionable after a limited session. Hill has been playing through the wrist injury all season. Even as it got worse a month ago, he never missed any time. We expect him to suit up this week, though fantasy managers need to check in on his status before kickoff. Malik Washington is now a priority add off the waiver wire. The rookie was already set for a larger role with Jaylen Waddle listed as doubtful. He could now be the team’s No. 1 receiver for the fantasy football semifinals.

Hill was the target on two of Tua Tagovailoa’s interceptions, with Derek Stingley making sensational plays on both of them. Hill actually got his hands on a go-ball from Tagovailoa on the final Dolphins offensive play, but Stingley simply stripped him of the ball in mid-air for the pick. With the Dolphins inching closer to finished, it’s possible that Hill and Miami get together to shut him down at some point down the stretch because of the wrist injury he’s playing through. Later results will matter quite a bit for the answer to that question. If Hill does start in Week 16 against the 49ers, he’ll be on the WR2 line.

Hill went over the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 1. It was only his fifth game of the season with more than five receptions in a decidedly down 2024 campaign. Hill’s touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a game-tying drive in which he and Jonnu Smith were featured. The veteran showed no ill effects of his lingering wrist injury, though he did not separate from defenders the way he has in previous seasons. In a check-down heavy Miami offense, Hill will be a top-20 fantasy play next week against the Texans.

Hill was listed with the wrist issue but also had the rest designation, so his availability for Week 14 was never in doubt. He was upgraded to a full practice on Friday. Hill will continue to play through the wrist issue to close out the year, even if he remains a fixture of their injury report. With Jonnu Smith and De’Von Achane’s roles in the passing game increasing over the past two months, Hill has fallen from his WR1 throne and is stuck in the WR2 ranks for Week 14.

This is standard procedure for Hill, who suffered the wrist injury in the offseason and had it flare up on him a few weeks ago. Hill will continue to play through the issue barring a setback with offseason surgery all but guaranteed. Hill rebounded from a quiet Week 12 with six grabs for 83 yards and a touchdown last week, keeping him in the WR2 ranks for his upcoming matchup with the Jets.

It was another quiet night for the superstar wideout before the fourth quarter. Hill had three grabs for 17 scoreless yards heading into the final frame. He turned things around with a handful of chunk gains with the Packers playing soft defense and a tip-drill touchdown on Miami’s penultimate drive. A pass intended for Jonnu Smith was batted into the air by a Green Bay defender and fielded in the end zone by Hill. Three touchdowns in his past four games have masked an otherwise declining role and middling yardage totals for Tyreek. He is stuck in the WR2 ranks until something Changes with the Dolphins’ offense, and there’s no reason to believe that will happen ahead of their Week 14 matchup with the Jets.

Since Tua Tagovailoa has come back from his concussion, the Dolphins have turned into a quick-hitting passing attack that rarely takes shots deep down the field. That has allowed them to move the ball easily and put up points, but it has taken some of the ceiling away from Tyreek’s fantasy value. Considering he was also matched up with Christian Gonzalez for much of this game, the veteran wasn’t able to get much going, and he’s more of a low-end WR1 as he plays through injuries in Miami’s new pass attack.

Hill was downgraded to LP status on Friday but this was apparently done out of an abundance of caution. He is good to go for Week 12 and can be started against the Patriots as a highly volatile WR1.

Hill was upgraded to full after being limited on Wednesday. The star receiver has been playing through the same injury for most of this season and should be good to go for Week 12’s game against the Patriots, barring any setbacks. Hill has had a disappointing fantasy season thus far, finishing as a WR3 or worse in PPR leagues in eight of his 10 games played. He’s best thought of as a solid WR2 until further notice.

The wrist issue is old news for Hill. He initially injured it during training camp and the injury flared up a few weeks ago. It has yet to cost him playing time and shouldn’t do so unless something changes. Hill appeared to be limping at multiple points during the Dolphins’ Week 11 win over the Raiders but isn’t listed with anything other than the wrist issue on the injury report. He is good to go for Week 12 versus the Patriots, though his WR1 status is in doubt after a string of quiet games.
