Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Tuesday that wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) underwent surgery on his left wrist this offseason to fix a ligament issue, which will keep him out for most of the offseason. The 30-year-old Cheetah dealt with his wrist injury for much of last season, which helps explain some of his drop in production, but he never actually missed a game because of it. While he won't take part in the majority of offseason workouts, Hill should be ready to go for training camp in the summer. Hill was upset after the Week 18 regular-season finale and said he wanted out of Miami, but he has since toned down that stance and said he was merely frustrated over the team's disappointing 2024 campaign that ended without a playoff appearance. The five-time All-Pro fell short of 1,000 receiving yards for just the third time in his nine NFL seasons in 2024 but could be a nice value pick in fantasy this fall.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has gone back on comments that he made after the team's Week 18 loss to the division-rival New York Jets in which he said, "I'm out," and "it was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career." "I'm taking full accountability for what I said. I'm gonna come back next year. I wanna stay with the Dolphins," Hill said on NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk during Super Bowl week. General manager Chris Grier said Hill never asked for a trade. The 30-year-old burner was clearly upset in the moment over a disappointing season in which the Dolphins missed the playoffs and he fell shy of 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2019. Hill has two years left on his current deal and should be back in South Beach in 2025 as he looks to bounce back after dealing with a nagging wrist injury pretty much all year.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been in the headlines after hinting toward wanting to be traded following the team's Week 18 loss to the New York Jets. Hill fell under 1,000 receiving yards in 2024 for the first time since 2019, and this year is the first time he has missed the playoffs since entering the NFL. However, the team has since said Hill has not requested a trade. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill played through a severe wrist injury all year and is committed to Miami after an "excellent" meeting with general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. It surely sounds like Hill will play for the Dolphins in 2025, and he could have a bounce-back campaign if he and Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have cleared the air with wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and the eight-time Pro Bowler did not formally request a trade. Following the Week 18 loss to the New York Jets, Hill said "I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be...I'm out. At the end of the day, I need to do what's best for my career." This certainly sounded like the 30-year-old was set to try to force his way out of Miami after he missed the playoffs for the first time in his career. Hill posted 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns this season while playing much of the year without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Surely, this story has more developments to unfold, so fantasy managers and NFL fans should stay tuned.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) played through a torn ligament this season despite doctors recommending that he undergo surgery to repair the tear, agent Drew Rosenhaus told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Rosenhaus' reference to Hill's injury came during a conversation with Jackson regarding the receiver's apparent displeasure with the Dolphins after he hinted at a trade request on Sunday. The agent wouldn't disclose much about Hill's status in Miami without talking to him first, but he did share that the 30-year-old receiver played through a torn ligament for several months. This explains why Hill repeatedly appeared on the Dolphins' injury report in 2024, and it could also help to justify why the former superstar had one of the worst seasons of his career. In fact, for the first time since his rookie campaign in 2016, Hill had fewer than seven touchdowns and 1,000 receiving yards. Dolphins fans and fantasy managers should buckle up for a potentially hectic offseason if Hill confirms his desire to leave Miami. A new team and a full offseason to recover could be exactly what Hill needs if he wants to return to Pro Bowl form next season.

While being interviewed by reporters after their 32-20 loss to the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill insinuated that he'd prefer to play elsewhere moving forward. "I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be...I'm out. At the end of the day, I need to do what's best for my career." Whoah. 2024 marks the first season since his rookie year that Hill had played at least 15 games and not reached 1,000 receiving yards. Additionally, it was the first time since then that he'd failed to finish as a top-ten fantasy wideout under those same parameters. The 30-year-old was visibly frustrated after the game and noted he won't be in the playoffs for the first time in his career. It's a bad look for his future prospects with the team. Still, the off-season is young for him and the Dolphins, and there will be plenty of time to speculate on where he might play in 2025. As of now, he's on contract with the team through 2026.
Jan 5, 2025 9:07 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receivers Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Tyreek Hill (wrist, illness) are officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Jets. Both players had been listed as questionable, but they will suit up with the AFC's No. 7 seed on the line. While Hill and Waddle are playing Sunday, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is not, so the two receivers will be catching passes from Tyler Huntley. Hill ranks as a mid-to-low WR2 while Waddle belongs in the WR3/FLEX range.
Jan 5, 2025 3:03 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (illness, wrist) did not practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 18 versus the division-rival New York Jets in the regular-season finale. Hill was limited in practice on Wednesday before upgrading to full on Thursday. The 30-year-old likely didn't practice on Friday while being under the weather. He's been managing a wrist injury for most of the year but hasn't missed a game, so as long as he's not still sick on Sunday, we'd expect the Cheetah to suit up for a must-win contest on the road. Fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee) could return after missing a few games to pull targets away from Hill, but Tyreek should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups if he's active, even with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) expected to miss a second straight game. Backup Tyler Huntley connected with Hill nine times (on nine targets) for 105 yards last week.
Jan 3, 2025 6:25 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) was upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Hill has been managing a wrist injury pretty much all year, but it hasn't sidelined him for a single game. He should put in another full practice on Friday before being cleared from the final Week 18 injury report. Fantasy managers should consider Hill a must-start WR1 this week with many other starting wideouts around the league set to be rested in the regular-season finale. Miami still has a shot at a playoff berth with a win over the division-rival New York Jets and a Denver Broncos loss, so they will be playing all their healthy starters. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) out in last week's win over the Browns, Hill caught all nine of his targets from Tyler Huntley and went for 105 yards -- just his third 100-yard game of the year.
Jan 2, 2025 5:35 PM EST
In the team's first practice of Week 18 preparation, Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) were both listed as limited participants. Hill has been on the injury report for most of the year while managing a wrist injury, but it hasn't caused him to miss any games and he should be ready to go for a must-win Week 18 game on Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets in the regular-season finale. Waddle, meanwhile, has missed the last two games with a knee injury and is much more up in the air. Of the two, Hill is the much better fantasy option with WR1 upside in Week 18. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) sitting out the Week 17 win over the Cleveland Browns, Tyler Huntley and Hill connected nine times on nine targets for 105 yards. If Waddle is able to return this weekend, he should be considered a risky, low-floor WR4/flex in fantasy lineups.
Jan 1, 2025 5:19 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill looked like his old self Sunday at Cleveland, catching all nine of his targets for 105 yards in a 20-3 victory. The veteran receiver was a critical part of the win for a Miami team playing without injured starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip). With quarterback Tyler Huntley filling in, Hill accounted for nearly half of Huntley's passing yards and helped the Dolphins do enough to keep their playoff hopes alive for another week. Given the downgrade at quarterback, Hill still delivered for managers who started him in the championship round. The Dolphins, who don't yet know who will start at quarterback, finish the regular season against the New York Jets.
Dec 30, 2024 10:48 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is officially active for Week 17's game against the Cleveland Browns. The star wideout finally started finding the end zone again from Week 10 to Week 16, but he'll have to operate with Tyler Huntley instead of Tua Tagovailoa (hip). During Huntley's three starts earlier this season, Hill registered WR54, WR32, and WR73 finishes in half-PPR leagues. The Browns allow the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers but are 22nd against opposing quarterbacks. Fantasy managers may want to temper expectations a bit for Hill, especially in a game forecasted with thunderstorms and wind.
Dec 29, 2024 2:56 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is expected to suit against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to NFL Network. The veteran should be Miami's top receiver option as Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unlikely to go, but Miami starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is doubtful. That would leave quarterback Tyler Huntley in line to start, throwing a wrench into Miami's plans against a Browns defense that ranks 30th against fantasy receivers. Hill is still solid WR2 option, albeit with some risk that comes with being attached to a backup quarterback.
Dec 29, 2024 7:17 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) was limited in practice all week and is officially questionable to play in Week 17 when the team heads to Cleveland to take on the Browns on Sunday. In addition to Hill, receivers Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Dee Eskridge (knee) are also questionable, so Malik Washington (knee) and River Cracraft could suddenly be much more involved this weekend if both Hill and Waddle are out. The 30-year-old Hill has been managing a wrist injury all year but hasn't missed any games because of it, so we're pretty positive he's on the right side of questionable this weekend. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is also questionable, but Tua, Hill and Waddle are expected to be active. Fantasy managers will want to verify that the Cheetah is active on Sunday, but if he is, he'll be a must-start in lineups against a Browns defense that has allowed the second-most half-PPR points to wideouts this year.
Dec 27, 2024 5:15 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest) remained limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Hill continues to be listed on Miami's injury report with a wrist injury that he's dealt with pretty much all year. He hasn't missed any games because of it, though, and that won't happen this Sunday in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns. In all likelihood, the 30-year-old speedster will practice in full on Friday and be removed from the final injury report. In the Week 16 win over the San Francisco 49ers with Jaylen Waddle (knee) out, the Cheetah only caught three of his seven targets for 29 yards, but he also managed to find paydirt for the third time in the last four games. Regardless of whether Waddle plays this weekend, Hill should be considered a must-start high-end WR2/low-end WR1 for fantasy matchups in Week 17.
Dec 26, 2024 7:25 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest) was listed as a limited participant on the team's practice estimation Wednesday. It's unclear whether the wrist injury or the rest day was the primary factor for Hill being estimated as limited, but the bottom line is that fantasy managers should continue to monitor his practice status over the next few days. The good news is that a limited practice on Wednesday typically bodes well for a player's availability on Sunday. In fact, last week, Hill missed Wednesday's practice entirely, and he still managed to suit up against the San Francisco 49ers, albeit after being listed as questionable. Managers should check back for updates over the next few days, but as of now, all signs point to the 30-year-old suiting up against a subpar Cleveland Browns pass defense. It's worth noting that Hill could end up starting alongside Malik Washington if teammate Jaylen Waddle (knee), who was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday, is inactive for a second consecutive week.
Dec 25, 2024 9:27 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught three of his seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in their 29-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Hill could've had a much bigger game if not for a few dropped passes, one of which could've been another touchdown. With Jaylen Waddle (knee) out in this game, this wasn't exactly the level of production fantasy managers were hoping for. This is the fifth time this season that the 30-year-old had 30 yards or less, and the 11th time he has failed to reach 15 PPR fantasy points. At this point in the season, it's safe to say that Hill was one of the biggest busts of the 2024 season. His next opportunity comes next Sunday afternoon at the Cleveland Browns in Week 17.
Dec 23, 2024 11:07 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hill opened the week as a non-participant in practice but was able to finish the week in a limited capacity. With Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive, fantasy managers should view Hill as a WR1 in all formats as he should see a substantial target share this afternoon. He should be locked into all lineups and is a solid play in DFS formats.
Dec 22, 2024 3:24 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers. He practiced in full on Thursday. However, the wideout logged only a limited session on Friday due to a nagging wrist injury, resulting in a questionable designation. With the Dolphins still in the hunt for a playoff spot and Jaylen Waddle (knee) unlikely to play, the Dolphins need Hill on the field. Unfortunately, his production is down significantly from the 2023-24 campaign. While Hill is always a must-start, he could have a tough time getting it done for fantasy managers with a challenging matchup versus San Francisco on the horizon.
Dec 21, 2024 11:49 PM EST
According to David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. This is a situation to keep a close eye on as Hill logged a full practice on Thursday but was downgraded to a limited participant on Friday. Hill also opened the week as a non-participant. The veteran wide receiver has been dealing with a lingering wrist injury all season but has yet to be sidelined. Last weekend, the entire Miami offense struggled and Hill was only able to tally 36 yards on two receptions. However, prior to this, Hill averaged 19.3 PPR points during Weeks 11 through 14. If Hill can play, he should be viewed as a must-start option especially with Jaylen Waddle (knee) listed as doubtful. If Hill cannot play, Malik Washington becomes a viable low-end WR2 in all formats.
