Tyreek Hill News
Wednesday, September 9, 9:44 AM
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday that free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) has been doing "amazing" in his rehab after tearing multiple ligaments in his knee last year with the Miami Dolphins, but Rosenhaus also said that doctors have recommended that Hill postpone his comeback attempt until sometime in October. Rosenhaus added that he sent a video of Hill running and cutting to some NFL teams, to which they responded with questions about when they could sign him. Hill is playing it "on the safe side" as he recovers from his devastating knee injury, but he is getting back up to speed and should sign with an NFL team this fall. The 32-year-old Cheetah, who is an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro, caught just 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 in his final season with the Dolphins before his season-ending knee injury. Although Hill is no spring chicken anymore and might be a bit slower after his knee injury, he could still make an impact for an NFL team and for fantasy managers later this season, making him worth a roster stash in deeper leagues if you have room on your bench. Right now, Hill is rostered in 4% of Yahoo leagues.

DeVonta Smith News
Thursday, September 3, 7:30 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith could be headed for a breakout season in 2026. The 27-year-old is poised to handle a significantly larger target share after teammate AJ Brown was traded to the New England Patriots. Smith had a total of nine catches and 136 yards across the two games that Brown missed last year, which likely represents his floor for the upcoming season. He is the undisputed No. 1 target in Philadelphia, offering a high-upside weapon for Jalen Hurts in all parts of the field. Perhaps the biggest question mark is whether Smith will take on a larger role around the goal line. He tallied a career-low four touchdowns last year, but he'll presumably get more goal-line targets following the departure of Brown, who scored seven touchdowns in 2025. As it stands, Smith has jumped to WR13 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings for 2026. He has an ADP of 31.4, which corresponds to the third round of fantasy drafts and makes him the 14th receiver off the board.
