Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Puka Nacua

Thursday, September 18, 8:58 PM

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe said, based on people he's talked to, that a trade of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is not a "consideration at this stage." There have been rumors floating around early this year that the Cheetah is a prime trade candidate, especially if the Dolphins continue to flounder. The 31-year-old eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro bounced back in a Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots with a 100-yard effort on six catches, but this is the first time in his career in which he has not found the end zone in the first two weeks. Hill expressed a desire to be elsewhere after the Week 18 regular-season finale in 2024, which alienated him a bit with his teammates. His chemistry with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a work in progress, and the two have struggled to hook up for big gains down the field in the last year-plus. Hill's performance in Week 2 was a good sign, but it remains to be seen if that will continue if he stays in Miami.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was a busy man in Sunday's 33-26 Week 3 loss on the road to the Philadelphia Eagles. Nacua didn't find the end zone, but he was by far quarterback Matthew Stafford's favorite target, catching a team-high 11 passes for a team-high 112 yards on a team-high 15 targets. He also added six rushing yards on one carry. No other Rams pass-catcher was targeted more than eight times or caught more than three passes. Fantasy managers who may have been worried about Nacua's target share after the addition of Davane Adams can breathe easy, as he's been one of the most targeted receivers in the league through three weeks while topping 100 scrimmage yards in all three contests. Nacua and the Rams are heading into a Week 4 showdown with the 3-0 Indianapolis Colts. He needs to remain locked into all fantasy lineups as a high-volume WR1.
