Tyreek Hill Still a Waiver Target With No Signing Imminent?

Tuesday, October 27, 8:28 AM

Free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) continues to rehab from multiple torn ligaments in his knee that he suffered last year with the Miami Dolphins and has not signed with an NFL team. Complicating Hill's waiver-wire case in fantasy football is the fact that a six-person jury found the 32-year-old veteran wideout liable for two of 10 counts related to domestic violence. Hill could now face discipline from the league under the NFL's personal-conduct policy, which does not require criminal charges for a player to be suspended. So if the Cheetah does land a contract with a team soon, he could be suspended. The most likely landing spot for Hill is back with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he began his career when the Chiefs took him in the fifth round (165th overall) from West Alabama. Legal issues and a potential suspension aside, it is also fair to wonder if Hill will still have his trademark speed on the field once he finishes his rehab. Still, the eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro is worth considering as a WR stash with the halfway point of the 2026 season nearing. If Hill avoids a suspension and still has elite burst, he could do damage for fantasy managers down the stretch. He is currently rostered in 16% of Yahoo leagues.

DeVonta Smith News

DeVonta Smith Misses Walkthrough on Wednesday

Wednesday, October 28, 5:35 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant during Wednesday's walkthrough. Smith has missed three of the last four games due to a hamstring injury. This was only a walkthrough, so Smith still has a decent chance of practicing this week and playing during the Week 8 matchup against the Washington Commanders. He'll likely need to be involved on Thursday and Friday to have a chance to play this weekend. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week. Makai Lemon could end up operating as the top wideout if Smith is forced to miss another game.
