Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Tyreek Hill

Saturday, December 27, 8:34 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs' snap share has been held in check this season. The veteran has been on the field for just 54.2% of the snaps in 2025, which has allowed him to remain productive while also staying fresh and healthy. However, he could be tasked with handling more snaps in Week 17 against the New York Jets, purely out of necessity. New England is dealing with numerous wide receiver injuries; Kayshon Boutte (concussion) is ruled out, Mack Hollins (abdomen) is ruled out, and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Diggs, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism are the Patriots' healthy receivers, and even if Douglas suits up, the Patriots will need all four receivers to handle larger roles. That could mean that Diggs, who caught nine passes for 138 yards on a 59% snap share last week, could get on the field for more than two-thirds of the offensive plays. In theory, more snaps should lead to more targets for Diggs, who could feast against a Jets defense that most recently surrendered 10 catches, 148 yards, and two touchdowns to Chris Olave. The veteran pass-catcher is a strong WR2 option in most fantasy leagues this week.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill might've played this last snap with the organization. The Dolphins need to find ways to save money, and letting go of Hill is one potential path. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, releasing Hill before June 1 would save the Dolphins $23.65 million against their cap space. If the Dolphins were to release him post-June 1 date, they would save $36 million for the 2026 season. Hill is currently recovering from a season-ending knee injury that he suffered in Week 4. Before his injury, Hill averaged a solid 13.6 PPR points over the first three games of the campaign. He found the back of the end zone once and totaled over 100 yards back in Week 2. He enjoyed a dominant stretch with the Dolphins in 2022 and 2023, when he eclipsed 1,700 yards and caught 119 passes in each season. It's unclear how Hill will play following his serious injury, so cutting him might be the best route for this organization. Jaylen Waddle figures to remain the long-term WR1 in Miami, given that the team extended him to a three-year contract in May 2024.
