Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Xavier Legette

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique) will not practice on Thursday despite a strong push to return to the field, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Hill is dealing with an oblique injury that has kept him limited or out of training camp practices for the last two weeks. "If Tyreek didn't have to answer to anybody, he would have practiced yesterday -- and I fear we might be talking about an injury that's a lot longer term," McDaniel said. "I'm just happy that our training staff understood the magnitude of further or bigger aggravation of something and was proactive." The Dolphins are trying to protect the speedy wideout from himself so that he'll be 100% for the start of the regular season. The Cheetah had a down year by his standards in 2024 with an 81-959-6 line but also dealt with a wrist issue all season. A bounce-back is possible, but it also depends on whether quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette was ejected from Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns after a first-quarter altercation. The 24-year-old did not record any catches or targets before being thrown out of the 30-10 loss. Legette was a first-round pick in last year's draft, with a rookie stat line of 49-49-4 on 84 targets. Panthers head coach Dave Canales acknowledged that while the play was physical, Legette's response was a liability. "You can't do that... both guys got ejected, rightfully so," Canales said, per Darin Gantt of panthers.com. The incident occurred while Legette was downfield blocking and got tangled up with Browns cornerback Rayshawn Mitchell. RotoBaller projects Legette as WR69 with a slight uptick in catches, yards, and TDs this season. He is most likely to be behind rookie stud Tetairoa McMillan and veteran Adam Thielen in targets. Still, he could emerge as an upside WR4/5 if anything happens to Thielen as the season progresses.
