Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Terry McLaurin

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he was unsure if wide receivers Tyreek Hill (oblique) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) will take part in joint practices with the Detroit Lions this week and called them both "day-to-day." Both Hill and Waddle didn't play in the preseason opener on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but they are reportedly dealing with minor injuries and should be just fine for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. Still, they are both losing out on valuable repetitions this summer with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as Miami's offense looks to bounce back in 2025. Don't be surprised if the Dolphins hold out Hill and Waddle for the second preseason game this Saturday against Detroit. With both receivers sidelined, it will give more opportunities to Malik Washington, Erik Ezukanma, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was seen talking to team GM Adam Peters on the sidelines during Tuesday's practice. McLaurin has been holding-in over the past few weeks as he is seeking a long-term extension from the Commanders. The Commanders have thus far been reluctant to budge on their price while McLaurin is rumored to be seeking a contract similar to what DK Metcalf got from the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in the offseason. While there is no way to tell what exactly was said between McLaurin and Peters on Tuesday, it at least provides a glimmer of hope that the two are talking. The Commanders would have a hard time replacing their No. 1 receiver's production on the field if he's not in the fold by the time Week 1 rolls around. If McLaurin ultimately rejoins the team, he can be treated as a rock-solid WR2 in fantasy drafts later this summer.
