Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Jauan Jennings

Sunday, December 21, 8:57 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill might've played this last snap with the organization. The Dolphins need to find ways to save money, and letting go of Hill is one potential path. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, releasing Hill before June 1 would save the Dolphins $23.65 million against their cap space. If the Dolphins were to release him post-June 1 date, they would save $36 million for the 2026 season. Hill is currently recovering from a season-ending knee injury that he suffered in Week 4. Before his injury, Hill averaged a solid 13.6 PPR points over the first three games of the campaign. He found the back of the end zone once and totaled over 100 yards back in Week 2. He enjoyed a dominant stretch with the Dolphins in 2022 and 2023, when he eclipsed 1,700 yards and caught 119 passes in each season. It's unclear how Hill will play following his serious injury, so cutting him might be the best route for this organization. Jaylen Waddle figures to remain the long-term WR1 in Miami, given that the team extended him to a three-year contract in May 2024.

Across 15 games in 2025, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings recorded 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine touchdowns on 90 targets. The 28-year-old proved the ability to provide stable production, earning at least five targets in 10 out of his final 11 games of the season. Jennings also established himself as a red zone threat, scoring six touchdowns over his final six outings. Particularly with fellow 49ers wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) battling injuries, Jennings appears poised to remain in his team's WR1 role for their Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Jennings may not carry explosive production upside, he's a solid bet for somewhere between five to seven targets and should get some looks in the end zone. Fantasy managers in playoff leagues should view Jennings as a solid wide receiver option entering the postseason.
