Who Should I Start? Julian Hill or Jared Wiley

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) missed the last two weeks with an ankle injury and is questionable for Week 10. He put in limited practices this week, though, and he seems to be on track to return since the team parted ways with Tanner Conner, who was filling in while Hill was out. If he's ready to return, Hill would likely share time at tight end with Greg Dulcich, with Dulcich handling pass-catching and Hill most of the blocking responsibilities. Hill only had 10 catches for 77 scoreless yards in his seven games this year, and he's not usually involved as a receiver. Hill will likely get playing time if healthy, but he's not much of a fantasy option this week. If he's out, Dulcich would have an even higher ceiling as the more full-time tight end.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Jared Wiley (knee) is participating in individual drills at mandatory minicamp this week while wearing a brace on his surgically-repaired right knee. The fact that Wiley is even taking part in offseason workouts at all is pretty impressive after he suffered a torn ACL last November. The 24-year-old is doing well in his recovery, but he still may not be fully ready for training camp this summer or the start of the 2025 regular season in September. The former fourth-rounder (131st overall) last year will merely be competing for the No. 3 tight end spot with Robert Tonyan when he's fully healthy as depth behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. In his first year in the NFL with the Chiefs in 2024, Wiley only appeared in seven regular-season games (two starts) and caught his only target for seven yards. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.
