Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Sam LaPorta

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been in the headlines after hinting toward wanting to be traded following the team's Week 18 loss to the New York Jets. Hill fell under 1,000 receiving yards in 2024 for the first time since 2019, and this year is the first time he has missed the playoffs since entering the NFL. However, the team has since said Hill has not requested a trade. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill played through a severe wrist injury all year and is committed to Miami after an "excellent" meeting with general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. It surely sounds like Hill will play for the Dolphins in 2025, and he could have a bounce-back campaign if he and Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught six of his seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders. His touchdown came at the end of an impressive offensive play in which Jared Goff scrambled, threw while being tackled, and connected with LaPorta, who used his left hand to haul in the football and secure the catch. It was a valiant effort to give the Lions their only receiving touchdown of the game, but it wasn't enough. Detroit fell to Washington by two scores, ending their season shy of a Super Bowl berth once again. With that said, this Lions team continues to show plenty of promise ahead of the 2025 campaign. LaPorta himself was riding a hot stretch when the season ended, catching 38 passes for 392 yards and five touchdowns over his last seven contests. He should continue to rank as a mid-range TE1 ahead of next summer's fantasy drafts.
