Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Brock Bowers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that "nothing is happening there" when discussing whether the Chiefs were in contact with free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. "I don't know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything. I'm sure he's working hard on that part of it to get that straightened out," Reid said. The 31-year-old eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro dislocated his knee and tore multiple ligaments in Week 4 of last year, but he plans on continuing his playing career in 2026 as he heads into free agency. Hill was originally a fifth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2016 and spent the first six years of his career in KC, but as of right now, it doesn't sound like the Chiefs have interest in a reunion with the Cheetah, at least until they know more about his health. Hill's fantasy value going into his 11th NFL campaign will depend on his health and where he lands, but it sure would be intriguing to see him back in KC working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

After a record-breaking rookie campaign in 2024, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers battled through injury and a less-than-ideal offensive environment in 2025. Across 12 games, Bowers recorded 64 receptions for 680 yards and seven touchdowns on 86 targets. The 23-year-old suffered a knee injury in Week 1 that he battled through for multiple months before finally being shut down and ending the season on Injured Reserve. However, Bowers should be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season. The Raiders could also have an improved team around him, as the team appears likely to select University of Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the number one overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. Las Vegas also made coaching staff changes, bringing in former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their new head coach. With renewed health and a better supporting cast, Bowers should return to elite fantasy tight end status in 2026 and beyond.
