Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Mecole Hardman

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill bounced back with a better Week 2 against the Patriots, and he could be in for more targets in Week 3, depending on the status of Jaylen Waddle (shoulder, questionable). Hill had only four catches for 40 yards in Week 1 against the Colts, but looked much more explosive with six catches for 109 yards in Week 2 against New England. He still only had seven targets in that much-better game, and he could have ended up with even better totals if Tua Tagovailoa hadn't missed him in the second half when he was open deep down the field. With the Dolphins desperate for a win and potentially short-handed on playmakers, Hill could be set up for a big workload in Week 3. He's in a tough matchup against the Bills, but Buffalo let Zay Flowers go off in Week 1. Hill brings boom-or-bust potential in Week 3, and he's the WR25 in the RotoBaller rankings, setting him up as a strong flex option or WR3.

The Green Bay Packers are releasing wide receiver Mecole Hardman on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Despite the Packers dealing with multiple injuries to their receiving corps in training camp, the Packers will move on from Hardman, who was looking to secure a depth role with the Packers after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. In his six NFL seasons, the 27-year-old pass-catcher has caught 178 of hi 258 targets for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns in 80 regular-season games (28 starts). Hardman also has plenty of special-teams experience and should be able to find work with another team for his versatility and speed during the 2025 season. Last year in 12 regular-season games (no starts) with KC, Hardman caught just 12 passe for 90 yards and no scores.
