Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or A.J. Brown

Free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) said on his Instagram account that he wants to continue playing in 2026, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. "The Cheetah will be back," Hill wrote. The Dolphins released Hill on Monday and said that he "failed a physical" after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 of last year that required surgery to fix a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments. The 31-year-old's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that Hill is "progressing well" in his recovery and wants to play again. Although Hill seems motivated to continue his playing career, it's unclear if he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season this fall. Before he signs with a team on the open market, the soon-to-be 32-year-old is going to have to prove that he'll be ready to play at some point later this year. Hill was a Pro Bowler in each of his first eight NFL seasons, which included six 1,000-yard campaigns, but he's failed to reach that lofty mark the last two years and may not be the same explosive wideout upon his return from major knee surgery.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown's future with the team is in doubt this offseason, but the Eagles have not had any trade talks surrounding the three-time Pro Bowler, multiple sources told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Garafolo also said there have only been brief talks between the team and Brown since the 2025 season ended with a loss in the playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams. Brown seems to be more "at peace" and calm about things, but it doesn't mean that he won't be dealt this offseason after he voiced his frustrations with Philly's offense in 2025. If the Eagles trade the 28-year-old, they'd take a $43.5 million salary cap hit in 2026, so they'd be looking for significant compensation in any deal. For what it's worth, Brown said on a recent podcast that he's "excited" for next season. In 15 starts during the regular season, Brown caught 78 of his 121 targets for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns. He has become a more volatile fantasy wideout, but a move to a new team won't necessarily boost his fantasy value for the 2026 campaign.
