Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Cooper Kupp

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) has not started catching the ball yet during offseason workouts, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Outside of catching balls, Hill is taking part in most of the drills during organized team activities. The 31-year-old All-Pro speedster had two surgeries on his left wrist this offseason but has also been bothered by his right wrist. Miami's passing attack suffered in 2024, with Hill falling short of the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since 2019, and he also tied his career-low with six receiving touchdowns in 17 starts. The five-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl may never get back to 1,700 receiving yards like he did in 2022 and 2023, but he could be a nice value pick in fantasy drafts if both he and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy in 2025. Hill is currently on the WR1/WR2 borderline.

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that new Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp could work underneath in the middle of the field in his first year with the team, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba serving as the big-play threat deeper down the field. Kupp and Smith-Njigba have overlapping skill sets, and general manager John Schneider said the use of tight splits will make the two wideouts hard to defend. Seattle could align JSN more out wide as opposed to in the slot, where he spent 77.4% of his snaps last season. Smith-Njigba led all receivers in yards (956) and catches (79) from the slot in a breakout campaign. It will be interesting to see how offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak uses both Kupp and Smith-Njigba in 2025. Kupp is on the wrong side of 30 and has missed five or more games three seasons in a row due to injuries. JSN has the higher ceiling, and we can't count on a ton of volume from Kupp at this point in his career.
