Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Russell Gage

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill put together a fantastic season that saw him on track to break 2,000 receiving yards at one point. In their wild-card loss to his former team, Hill was the only player to find the end zone when he caught a 53-yard touchdown pass at the beginning of the second quarter. He finished the game with 62 yards and a score while catching five of his eight targets. In the subzero temperatures, the Dolphins' offense would go on to struggle for the rest of the game and didn't score a single point after that. After such a successful season and the way this offense has been built, Hill should be another top selection in next year's fantasy drafts. He could even remain a first-round selection despite entering his age-30 season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (knee) is now a free agent. When the team reworked his deal last year, it included an option for the 2024 season, and the team has declined to pick it up. The move clears what would have been $10 million in salary, but the Bucs will take on roughly $6.9 million in dead money from old restructures. Gage signed a three-year, $30 million in free agency before the 2022 season to give quarterback Tom Brady another weapon in the passing game. He did have a career-high five touchdowns in 2022, but he also had a disappointing 51 catches for 426 yards and didn't play at all last year due to a torn patellar tendon that he suffered in training camp in August. The 28-year-old should resurface with another team, but coming off a major knee injury, it's unlikely that he'll be able to make much of a fantasy impact wherever he lands.
