Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Rashee Rice

According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, "league sources expect the (Miami) Dolphins to release (wide receiver Tyreek) Hill (knee) before the start of the next league year in March 2026." Hill suffered a devastating knee injury in Week 4 and is expected to miss the remainder of 2025. He's reportedly working towards being ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, but it appears he'll be suiting up outside of Miami to do so. The 31-year-old has recorded over 11,000 receiving yards and 90 total touchdowns across his 10-year NFL career to this point. It remains to be seen how effective he will be coming off a serious knee injury.

Senior NFL insider Adam Schefter reports that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice's six-game suspension is now over, and he is eligible to play Sunday versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice was serving a six-game suspension for pleading guilty to two third-degree felony charges of a collision involving serious bodily injuries and racing on the highway, causing physical injury. With his suspension ending, the Chiefs' offense should reach a new level. They have reported that they consider Rice their clear No. 1 option and have not entertained trade offers for other players at the position, knowing he is set to return in Week 7. With the Chiefs starting to get all of their playmakers back in action, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes playing at an MVP level, the Chiefs' offense should continue to produce at a high level for fantasy managers. Although exciting news, fantasy managers should temper expectations with Rice out of the gate, as it's likely he will get ramped up and not provide WR1 production right away, but assuming he plays in Week 7, he has WR3/Flex appeal against the Raiders.
