Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Tetairoa McMillan

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) announced on social media that he had a second surgery on his wrist that "went amazing," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Hill's second procedure was part of his original plan and was to have screws removed from his left wrist, and the Cheetah's timeline for a return won't change. The 31-year-old initially injured his wrist in a training camp practice in August but never missed a game because of it in 2024, ultimately finishing with a disappointing 81-959-6 line in 17 starts after leading the league with 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023. It was the first time that Hill hasn't been named a Pro Bowler in his nine-year NFL career. He is going to miss most of the team's offseason work but should be ready come training camp and the regular season. Hill could bounce back as a high-end WR1 in fantasy, but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussion history makes the speedy wideout more volatile.

The Carolina Panthers have signed rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to a four-year, $27.93 million contract. McMillan was the first receiver selected in April's draft, chosen No. 8 overall by Carolina. The hulking pass-catcher (6-foot-4) will reportedly operate as the team's X receiver with veteran Adam Thielen manning the slot and Xavier Legette rounding out the corps at the Z. It's a natural fit for the Arizona product, as his frame and metrics support the position. He was excellent during his final two seasons at college, amassing 174 receptions, 2,721 yards, and 18 touchdowns, and projects to slot in as a high-volume target for quarterback Bryce Young. McMillan is a superb selection early in rookie drafts, and could garner appeal in redraft leagues if Young's improvements from the tail end of 2024 stick.
