Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Khalil Shakir

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said that he didn't fully understand the offense the first three years he was in town, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. It's a bit unbelievable, but it didn't stop the Cheetah from leading the league with 1,799 receiving yards, 13 touchdowns and 112.4 yards per game in 2023. The speedy 31-year-old dealt with a wrist injury all of last year and also wasn't helped by the fact that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed more time with a head injury. As a result, Hill fell short of the 1,000-yard mark (959 yards) for the first time since 2019 as Miami's offense was more dink-and-dunk than explosive. His fantasy stock entering 2025 is down as a result, especially given Tua's shaky injury history. However, the five-time All-Pro seems very motivated and could easily bounce back if Tagovailoa stays on the field. He's ranked at RotoBaller as the WR12.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle) appears to have suffered an injury during Friday's practice. Shakir was being examined by the trainers for a foot/ankle injury before leaving in the tunnel. The severity of the injury is unknown right now, but the expectation is that Shakir will undergo further testing. The 25-year-old signed a four-year, $53 million extension with the Bills this past offseason. He's currently penciled in as the No. 1 wideout in Buffalo. He's coming off a 100-target season in 2024, so he figures to see similar or a higher workload in 2025. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status.
