Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Ricky Pearsall

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) has not started catching the ball yet during offseason workouts, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Outside of catching balls, Hill is taking part in most of the drills during organized team activities. The 31-year-old All-Pro speedster had two surgeries on his left wrist this offseason but has also been bothered by his right wrist. Miami's passing attack suffered in 2024, with Hill falling short of the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since 2019, and he also tied his career-low with six receiving touchdowns in 17 starts. The five-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl may never get back to 1,700 receiving yards like he did in 2022 and 2023, but he could be a nice value pick in fantasy drafts if both he and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy in 2025. Hill is currently on the WR1/WR2 borderline.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and likely won't return to practice until training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. It doesn't sound like it's a serious injury for Pearsall, the but Niners won't take any chances with last year's first-rounder after he also dealt with hammy issues going into his rookie season in 2024. The 24-year-old pass-catcher then suffered a gunshot wound to his chest and didn't make his NFL debut until Week 7. He's expected to have a key role in the offense in his sophomore season with Deebo Samuel Sr. no longer in town and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, but Pearsall is going to lose valuable reps this offseason to gain chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy. Pearsall could still be ready for Week 1, but this news doesn't do anything to dispel the notion that Pearsall is injury-prone.
