Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Zay Flowers

The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hill's release will save the Dolphins over $20 million against the salary cap and signals a broader changing of the guard in Miami. Hill appeared in just four games in 2025, suffering a season-ending torn ACL and dislocated right knee in Week 4. Before getting injured, he recorded 21 catches for 265 yards and a touchdown on 29 targets. Entering his age-32 season, Hill is now set to become an unrestricted free agent. It's unclear how much the veteran wideout still has left in the tank, given his age and the fact that he'll be coming off a serious knee injury. Hill may not even be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. However, Hill is one of the best wide receivers of the last decade, and he was still a productive player in his last full season in 2024, recording 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns on 123 targets. Depending on where he lands and his health status, Hill could still provide fantasy value in 2026.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers arguably had the best season of his young career in 2025, recording 86 receptions for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets across 17 games. Flowers' production is made even more impressive by the fact that he played four games without star Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who missed time with both hamstring and back injuries. Flowers has been a highly consistent pass-catcher so far throughout his three NFL seasons, recording at least 108 targets and 74 catches in each year. His greatest flaws have been red-zone usage, as he's never had more than five touchdown grabs in a season, and target volume, as he's averaging 6.8 targets per contest for his career. However, the Ravens have made major coaching staff changes heading into 2026. Former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will take over for former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, meaning Flowers will be working with a new play-caller for the first time in his NFL career. While there's no guarantee Doyle will drastically change Flowers' role in the offense, there's a chance his presence could help Flowers break through to a new level. Even if Flowers simply repeats his established standards of performance, he profiles as a high-end fantasy WR3 in dynasty formats going forward.
