Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Tyreek Hill

Saturday, July 12, 2:22 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is entering the final year of his two-year, $41 million deal in 2025, and The Athletic's Dan Pompei writes that the team could have a difficult time retaining the future Hall of Famer beyond this season, especially at a similar price to what they just re-signed Chris Godwin at. Despite being close to turning 32 years old, Evans hasn't shown signs of slowing down, posting 1,000 yards receiving in 2024 for the 11th straight season while also scoring 11 touchdowns. Tampa certainly doesn't want to lose one of the greatest players in franchise history who is also highly respected in the locker room, but it remains to be seen how this will play out following the 2025 season after they took wideout Emeka Egbuka in the first round this year. For fantasy purposes, Evans is a high-end WR2.

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he was unsure if wide receivers Tyreek Hill (oblique) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) will take part in joint practices with the Detroit Lions this week and called them both "day-to-day." Both Hill and Waddle didn't play in the preseason opener on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but they are reportedly dealing with minor injuries and should be just fine for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. Still, they are both losing out on valuable repetitions this summer with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as Miami's offense looks to bounce back in 2025. Don't be surprised if the Dolphins hold out Hill and Waddle for the second preseason game this Saturday against Detroit. With both receivers sidelined, it will give more opportunities to Malik Washington, Erik Ezukanma, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge.
