Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Aaron Jones

Wednesday, August 20, 12:51 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique) remains out of training camp practice on Wednesday and is unlikely to return to the field until the regular season, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Hill has barely been on the field since suffering an oblique injury in early August. There has been no indication that the 31-year-old speedster is in danger of missing Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, but fantasy managers have to be at least a little bit concerned about the Cheetah, especially with reports swirling that his chemistry with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hasn't been great. The eight-time Pro Bowler still had 959 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 81 catches in 2024 in his third year with Miami, but it was his fewest receiving yards since 2019. He dealt with a wrist issue all year and has slipped to a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 in RotoBaller's 2025 rankings.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is not expected to play Saturday against the Houston Texans. Jones was the starting running back for the Vikings in 2024, totaling over 300 attempts for 1,546 scrimmage yards and seven total touchdowns. At 30 years old, it's understandable why the Vikings are choosing to rest Jones, while 2024 first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy will play. Jones was listed as the starting running back for the Vikings in their unofficial depth chart. However, head coach Kevin O'Connell has already mentioned that they will use a committee approach with newly signed running back Jordan Mason. While another 300-attempt season is unlikely, Jones should be drafted as a high-end RB3 in most fantasy football formats.
