Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Allen Lazard

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said that he didn't fully understand the offense the first three years he was in town, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. It's a bit unbelievable, but it didn't stop the Cheetah from leading the league with 1,799 receiving yards, 13 touchdowns and 112.4 yards per game in 2023. The speedy 31-year-old dealt with a wrist injury all of last year and also wasn't helped by the fact that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed more time with a head injury. As a result, Hill fell short of the 1,000-yard mark (959 yards) for the first time since 2019 as Miami's offense was more dink-and-dunk than explosive. His fantasy stock entering 2025 is down as a result, especially given Tua's shaky injury history. However, the five-time All-Pro seems very motivated and could easily bounce back if Tagovailoa stays on the field. He's ranked at RotoBaller as the WR12.

The New York Jets' Allen Lazard has had "a very quiet" training camp thus far and is dropping in the team's wide receiver pecking order as a result, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports. Meanwhile, free-agent addition Josh Reynolds has emerged as the odds-on favorite for the No. 2 role opposite star Garrett Wilson. Lazard appeared in 12 games last year and caught 37 of 60 targets for 530 yards and six touchdowns. The belief during the offseason was that the Jets would move on from Lazard, particularly with the departure of his friend and longtime quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but he wound up taking a pay cut to stay. Now a member of what could be a run-heavy offense with Justin Fields replacing Rodgers, Lazard probably won't make much of an impact from a fantasy standpoint in 2025.
