Who Should I Start? Josh Oliver or Julian Hill

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver scored a touchdown for the second time in three weeks, finishing with two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 victory against Cleveland. The blocking-focused tight end was the secret weapon on a trick play, leaking through the Browns' defense with backup running back Cam Akers in a Wildcat look, which led to a 32-yard scoring connection for the Vikings' first touchdown. Oliver nearly had a second score, but was tackled inside the five on his only other catch. He remains an unpredictable, touchdown-dependent play, but deserves some roster consideration in deeper formats.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's Week 9 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Hill had been trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices this week. His absence leaves Miami extra short-staffed at tight end, as they're also without Darren Waller (pectoral). Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich should step up as the Dolphins' top two tight ends, but neither of them possesses significant fantasy intrigue for Week 9.
