Tyreek Hill Remains a Free Agent

Saturday, March 21, 10:51 AM

Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) remains unsigned as the end of March approaches. Hill was cut loose by the Miami Dolphins as the organization underwent a major restructuring. Hill and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa were both released, and the team also fired head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier. Although the move was less about Hill's performance and more about his fit within the organization's vision for the future (plus his salary), it's worth noting that his productivity has declined, and he is past his peak. He dropped to WR18 with 959 yards in 2024, and he totaled just 21 catches, 265 yards, and one touchdown through four games before tearing his ACL last year. On a positive note, Hill's agent recently said that the receiver will be ready for Week 1 iin 2026, so he should be ready to contribute as a play-making perimeter receiver right away. Depending on where he signs, he could still be a valuable fantasy option as a low-end WR2.

Michael Pittman Jr. News

Michael Pittman Jr. a Buy-Low Candidate Following Post-Trade Dip

Monday, March 30, 5:49 AM

Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. finished the 2025 season valued as a low-end WR3 in consensus dynasty rankings, but since the offseason trade that moved him from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh, he has fallen to the low WR4 range. Pittman will be viewed by most as the clear second option behind D.K. Metcalf in a Steelers offense whose current quarterback situation would have to be graded as incomplete, so the dip is understandable, but he will still play the entirety of the 2026 season before turning 30, and he has finished as the WR23 or better in four of the past five seasons. He has become a go-to option for a revolving door of Colts quarterbacks by being a big-bodied target who runs precise routes and is rarely out of place against zone coverage. Whether his next signal caller is an unproven first-round rookie or a surly veteran who expects things to be done in a very particular way, nothing about Pittman's game suggests he will not continue to be a reliable target-earner.
