Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or James Cook

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill's estranged wife has alleged in court filings that Hill committed domestic violence, although he has vehemently denied the allegations. Keeta Vaccaro has alleged eight separate incidents of domestic violence that were related to the couple's divorce, according to documents obtained by TMZ. Vaccaro alleges the first incident happened in January of 2024, about two months after they were married. Hill's attorney said that the allegations are part of a "shakedown" and are "an attempt to generate bad media coverage" for his client. He has not formally been criminally charged, and it's unclear if law enforcement was investigating Vaccaro's allegations. The five-time All-Pro was detained by police last September after being stopped for reckless driving as well. It's unclear if this situation will lead to a potential suspension from the NFL, but it's one more thing to worry about for Hill's fantasy managers after Miami's offense looked bad again in a Week 1 blowout loss to the Colts.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he unexpectedly tied for the NFL lead with 16 rushing touchdowns after tallying just two in the previous season. He also surpassed 1,000 yards on the ground for the second year in a row, but fantasy managers may have to temper expectations in Week 1. Cook is set to battle the Baltimore Ravens, who boasted the league's top-ranked run defense last season, when the teams kick off Sunday. The Ravens held opposing rushers to a paltry 3.6 yards per carry - a far cry from Cook's 4.9 YPC. Cook faced the Ravens twice in 2024 and combined for 106 yards on 26 carries, four catches for another 24 yards, and zero scores. The explosive 25-year-old enters 2025 as a high-end RB2 in fantasy, but with the Ravens standing in his way, Cook may not storm out of the gates in the opener.
