Uncertain on return to NFL
Hill (knee) hasn't decided if he will continue playing football or retire from the NFL, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill's immediate focus is on his recovery from a significant knee injury suffered Sept. 29 against the Jets. What will come after that for the 31-year-old wide receiver has yet to be determined. Hill's under contract with the Dolphins in 2026 at a cap hit of $52 million, but Miami can void the deal and instead incur just over $28 million of dead cap space. Even in the most optimistic recovery scenario, Hill will be hard-pressed to be ready for the start of the 2026 season.

Officially on IR
Hill (knee) has officially been placed on IR by the Dolphins.
Analysis: Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN, Hill -- who underwent a major procedure Tuesday to repair his dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL -- won't need additional surgery, with agent Drew Rosenhaus indicating afterward that the wideout will play next season, while noting that "the realistic goal is the start of the season." In Hill's absence for the rest of the 2025 campaign, Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are in line to see expanded roles alongside top…read more

Eyeing 2026 return
Hill isn't expected to require any follow-up procedures after undergoing successful surgery Tuesday to repair a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus indicated that the receiver's surgery "went very well according to his doctors," and a return to game action at the start of the 2026 season is considered a "realistic goal." Though the 31-year-old will face the tough challenge of working his way back from a major knee injury that included an ACL repair, the fact that he seemingly avoided any nerve damage and won't need multiple surgeries bodes well for his long-term outlook. That being said, his availability for the…read more

Season-ending surgery confirmed
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Hill (knee) underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: McDaniel relayed that Hill's surgery addressed a dislocation of the receiver's left knee, as well as damage to multiple ligaments, including a torn ACL. Given the extensive damage he sustained in Monday's win over the Jets, the 31-year-old wideout could require additional follow-up procedures, which may affect his availability for next season. Hill will be entering the final season of his contract in 2026 at a non-guaranteed $29.9 million salary, though he'll be fully guaranteed $11 million…read more

Set for season-ending knee surgery
Hill was diagnosed with multiple ligament tears, including one to his ACL, after dislocating his left knee during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hill is slated to undergo surgery Tuesday, and based on the severity of his injury, the wideout is facing a lengthy recovery process that could extend into the start of the 2026 season. In the looming absence of Hill, Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are candidates to see added snaps at receiver alongside new No. 1 wideout Jaylen Waddle, while running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller could also be in line for expanded pass-game roles.

Hill (personal) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game versus the Jets, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Hill didn't attend Saturday's practice due to personal reasons, but the absence won't affect his ability to play on game day. Through three contests in 2025, he's hauled in 15 of 23 targets for 198 yards and one touchdown, and he'll facing a Jets defense Monday that has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards (489) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Records TD despite modest yardage
Hill secured five of 10 targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-21 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
Analysis: Hill led the Dolphins in targets and receiving yards on the night, adding his first touchdown catch of the season on a five-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The mercurial speedster has logged 23 targets through three games and parlayed them into a 15-198-1 line, but Tua Tagovailoa's overall struggles and the general malaise that's seemingly befallen the Dolphins keeps Hill's fantasy outlook somewhat murky heading into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Monday night, Sept. 29, a…read more

Crosses 100-yard mark in loss
Hill brought in six of seven targets for 109 yards and returned one punt for 19 yards in the Dolphins' 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill set the pace for the Dolphins in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets. Hill's day could have been even bigger had Tua Tagovailoa not missed him when he was wide open on a second-half pass, but the fact the talented wideout put together his first 100-yard effort of the campaign was certainly a bright spot during a loss that dropped the Dolphins to 0-2.

Hill brought in four of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill finished as the co-leader in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards, but on a day when Tua Tagovailoa threw for only 114 yards, tossed two interceptions and took three sacks, those team-leading numbers weren't exactly noteworthy. The veteran speedster entered Week 1 with at least some mild questions surrounding his fantasy outlook; however, Hill appeared to maximize his opportunities in a negative game environment Sunday, and he could be in line for a boost in production in a Week…read more

Analysis: After being diagnosed with an oblique injury in early August, Hill missed most practices and Miami's entire preseason slate in the meantime, but he got back on the field last Thursday and then followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen during Week 1 prep, paving the way for him to be available to the offense Sunday. He's coming off a down campaign for him, having put up 81 catches (on 123 targets) for 959 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Analysis: McDaniel said Hill and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed), who will also return to practice Wednesday, both remain "day-to-day." It sounds like Hill's reps will be limited in some capacity, but it's encouraging to see him cleared to participate in joint practices.

There haven't yet been any serious warning flags raised regarding the status of either Hill or Waddle for Week 1, but it's less than ideal for both of Miami's star receivers to be missing reps at this stage.

Likely to play in Week 17
Hill (wrist), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The wrist issue is a lingering one for Hill, but he's yet to miss a game because of it, and he looks set to take the field once again Sunday. However, his outlook is hazy in part due to the expected absence of Tua Tagovailoa, who is officially doubtful to play due to a hip issue. Rapoport notes that No. 2 wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee) isn't likely to suit up either, which could lead to the Browns focusing more of their attention on Hill. If things go the way they seem to be trending, the…read more

Questionable after limited practice
Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: It would be surprising if Hill doesn't suit up, as he has been playing through a wrist issue for weeks. He was limited in all three of Miami's practices during the week, with rest provided as a secondary reason for his limitations alongside the wrist injury. Hill made a concerted effort to participate in every practice to work on his rhythm with Tua Tagovailoa after Hill attributed his recent problems with drops to a preponderance of veteran rest days in practice. Tagovailoa's listed as…read more

Limited session Thursday
Hill (wrist/rest) was limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill -- who has been managing a wrist injury -- also was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but the wideout could be cleared for Sunday's game against the Browns as soon as Friday. Meanwhile, fellow starter Jaylen Waddle (knee), who was inactive Week 16, returned to a limited practice Thursday, so it's possible that the Dolphins will have both players players available for Week 17 action.

Limited on practice estimate
Hill (wrist/rest) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill also logged a limited listing this past Friday before approaching Sunday's win over the 49ers with a questionable designation. Unlike fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee), Hill was active for the contest and finished with three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Hill isn't reported to be dealing with any setbacks with his wrist coming out of the Week 16 contest, so his listed limitations Wednesday may well have been maintenance-related.

Catches Tua's only TD pass
Hill (wrist/personal) had three receptions on seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Hill was a limited participant in practice this week while tending to a personal issue in addition to a bum wrist. The speedy wideout overcame both roadblocks in order to suit up for a Dolphins squad that was without the services of Jaylen Waddle (knee) on Sunday. Hill didn't post the kind of volume managers may have expected with his running mate sidelined to injury, but he salvaged his performance by catching Miami's only passing touchdown on the day.

Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Hill, who continues to manage a wrist injury, didn't practice Wednesday, worked fully Thursday, and then finished the week with a limited listing Friday before heading into the weekend carrying a 'questionable' designation. With fellow starting WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive, Hill should be busy Sunday, barring any in-game setbacks.

Analysis: Hill is dealing with a lingering wrist injury that kept him sidelined during practice Wednesday. He logged a full session Thursday before downgrading to limited activity Friday, resulting in him taking a designation into the weekend. Though all signs point to Hill suiting up Sunday as Miami looks to keep its playoff hopes alive, the wideout won't be formally cleared until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: Hill, who didn't practice Wednesday, worked fully Thursday, but following Friday's limited listing and corresponding Week 16 game status, the wideout's availability now is worth monitoring closely as Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches.

Returns to full practice
Hill (wrist/rest) was a full practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill has been playing through the same wrist injury for most of the season without missing a game. He caught just two of seven targets for 36 yards in a 20-12 loss to Houston last week, after briefly flashing his 2022-23 level of production Weeks 13 and 14 (16 catches for 198 yards and two TDs). The real question for Miami at wide receiver is Jaylen Waddle, who suffered a knee injury Sunday and hasn't practiced since.

Sits out Wednesday's practice
Hill (wrist/rest) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill has been managing a wrist issue for several weeks, but the fact that the Dolphins also cited rest as a reason for the wideout's lack of participation Wednesday suggests that his reps are simply being managed as Sunday's game against the 49ers approaches. As long as he practices fully by Friday, Hill should head into the weekend without an injury designation.

Limited to two receptions Sunday
Hill brought in two of seven targets for 36 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill was unable to take advantage of the fact Jaylen Waddle exited the game with a knee injury in the first half and didn't return, finishing with his lowest catch and yardage totals since Week 7 and 10, respectively. Hill's target total was also his sparsest since the latter contest, and he saw a two-game touchdown streak come to an end.

Turns in full practice
Hill (wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Hill's practice reps were capped Wednesday, but he was likely just limited for maintenance purposes while he manages a lingering wrist issue. The injury won't affect his availability for Sunday's game in Houston and shouldn't affect his playing time either, as Hill has logged at least three-quarters of the Dolphins' offensive snaps in all eight games since a Week 6 bye.

Analysis: Hill has been managing the wrist issue for several weeks now, but he has yet to miss any games, and his ability to practice in some fashion bodes well for his chances of playing this Sunday in Houston. He logged a 97 percent snap share in last weekend's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets, finishing with 10 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets while adding six yards on a rushing attempt.

Burns Jets for 115 rec yards, TD
Hill caught 10 of 14 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for six yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets.
Analysis: Hill and Jaylen Waddle posted identical first-half stat lines of five catches for 61 yards, and they ultimately accounted for 214 of Tua Tagovailoa's 331 passing yards as the Dolphins capitalized on the absence of star Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring). Hill's four-yard touchdown catch followed by a two-point conversion to Waddle helped Miami tie the game 23-23 with 9:04 to play in regulation.

Analysis: Hill slowly but surely increased his activity level this week, going from no participation Wednesday to a capped session Thursday before ending it with a full practice.

Puts in limited practice
Hill (wrist/rest) was a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session entirely, Hill took a step forward in terms of activity Thursday. Hill has been managing a wrist injury for several weeks, but his lack of full participation in practice so far this week is likely more maintenance-based than the result of an injury-related setback. So long as he continues to practice in some fashion Friday, Hill should be in good shape to handle a full snap load in this Sunday's game against the Jets.

Returns to practice
Hill (wrist) is participating in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill sat out Wednesday's practice due to a combination of rest and his lingering wrist injury, as has been relatively standard for the speedy wideout since early November. As long as he continues to practice Friday, fantasy managers can feel confident that Hill will continue to play through his wrist issue Sunday versus the Jets. Hill is coming off his best game in weeks, having recorded a 6-83-1 receiving line on nine targets during Miami's loss to the Packers last Thursday.

Hill brought in six of nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday.
Analysis: Hill finished second in receiving yards and tied for second in targets for the Dolphins on the night, but the highlight of his performance was a 12-yard touchdown grab off a deflection with just over three minutes remaining in the contest. It was only Hill's fourth TD reception of the season, while his yardage tally was his highest since Week 1.

Analysis: The Dolphins listed Hill as a limited participant Monday due to a lingering wrist injury before he was a non-participant Tuesday due to both the wrist issue and a personal matter. He was back with the Dolphins as a full participant for Wednesday's walk-through session, clearing up any concern about his ability to play against the Packers. Hill will be taking aim at a tough Green Bay defense after recording just five catches for 48 yards (on six targets) in a win over the Patriots last Sunday.

Hill (wrist) didn't participate in practice Tuesday due to a personal matter, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill was listed as a limited participant Monday on the Dolphins' initial Week 13 injury report due to only the lingering wrist injury, but his absence Tuesday was presumably because of the personal issue rather than any sort of setback with his wrist. The Dolphins will likely hold a light practice or walk-through session Wednesday, and if Hill is back with the team, it would bode well for his chances of playing Thursday against the Packers in Green Bay.

Contained again in win
Hill brought in five of six targets for 48 yards in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill played a clear second fiddle to the somewhat unlikely duo of Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith, who accounted for 17 of Tua Tagovailoa's completions, 231 of his yards and half of his four touchdown passes on the afternoon. Hill was a distant third in receptions, receiving yards and targets to both of his fellow pass catchers, and he's now mired in a 10-game streak of failing to clear 80 receiving yards heading into a Week 13 road showdown against the Packers on Thanksgiving Night this Thursday.

Analysis: Hill set the pace for the Dolphins in receptions and tied with Jonnu Smith for the team lead in targets, scoring a touchdown on an eight-yard grab with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter as well. Hill has eclipsed 60 receiving yards in three of Tua Tagovailoa's first four games back from an IR stint due to a concussion, but the veteran speedster is still in search of his first 100-yard game since Week 1 as the Dolphins prepare to face off with the Patriots at home in Week 12.

After starting hot with Tagovailoa back in tow, Hill added only three yards in the second half, likely due in part to the effects of a foot injury that had the speedster listed as questionable heading into Sunday's loss.

If Hill is able to face Arizona this weekend, his fantasy prospects could be boosted by the potential return to action of top QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).

Nearly invisible in Week 7 loss
Hill caught one of two targets for eight yards and gained five rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Neither Tyler Huntley (shoulder) nor Tim Boyle has any success looking for their wide receivers on the afternoon, giving Hill few opportunities to make an impact. The speedster has topped 1,700 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, the first player in NFL history to do so, but the Dolphins' QB woes have eliminated any chance of a repeat for Hill. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to return from IR in Week 8 against the Cardinals, but if he isn't cleared for game action, it…read more

Paces pass catchers in win
Hill secured six of nine targets for 69 yards in the Dolphins' 15-10 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, demonstrating improved chemistry with Tyler Huntley in his second game playing with the quarterback. The three components of the speedster's receiving line all qualified as his second-highest totals of the season, and Hill also narrowly missed recording his second touchdown of the campaign on a near catch in the left corner of the end zone on which he just missed coming down with two feet inbounds. Hill is…read more

Limited to 42 total yards in loss
Hill secured four of seven targets for 23 yards and rushed three times for 19 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.
Analysis: Hill's numbers unsurprisingly continued to be significantly compromised by the Dolphins' tenuous quarterback situation, as Tyler Huntley wasn't able to deliver any more of a competent performance than Week 3 predecessor Skylar Thompson (ribs). With the Dolphins' backfield particularly short-handed due to Jeff Wilson's pregame knee injury and Raheem Mostert's (chest) inactive status, Hill also did some moonlighting in the ground attack with a season-high carry count. The elite wideout, who did…read more

Victim of QB play in loss
Hill brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill set the pace in receiving yards and tied for the team lead in targets as well, but both were essentially hollow achievements in the ragged loss. Hill's production was already likely to be compromised with Skylar Thompson opening the game under center in place of Tua Tagovailoa (IR-concussion), but matters only got worse once journeyman Tim Boyle was forced to replace Thompson in the second half due to the latter's rib injury. The speedy receiver is essentially in limbo for the time being…read more

Big downturn in loss
Hill secured three of six targets for 24 yards and rushed once for 12 yards in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
Analysis: Four days after a tumultuous but ultimately successful first Sunday of the regular season, Hill and the entire Dolphins offense saw a drastic downturn Thursday. Hill was saddled by generally ineffective play on the part of Tua Tagovailoa, who tossed two first-half interceptions and a pick-six early in the third quarter and then exited the game late in the period with a concussion. Hill and Jaylen Waddle both took an early seat in the fourth quarter, and neither saw a target after Skylar…read more

Receives two citations
Hill has received two citations, careless driving and a seatbelt violation, due to Sunday's incident in which he was detained by police outside of Hard Rock Stadium prior to Miami's 20-17 win over the Jaguars, Jeff Darlington of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hill's citations don't figure to result in any further ramifications, leaving Miami's No. 1 wideout in the clear to suit up for a key Week 2 divisional matchup against the Bills on Thursday Night Football. Kevin Dotson of CNN.com reports that the Miami-Dade Police Department placed an officer on administrative leave and has begun an internal investigation related to Sunday's incident.

Goes for 100-plus yards in win
Hill brought in seven of 12 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 11 yards.
Analysis: A day that began in less than ideal fashion for Hill due to a pregame incident where he was briefly detailed by local police during a traffic stop culminated in a signature performance for the fleet-footed star. Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, a familiar distinction. He also secured his first touchdown of the season on an 80-yard grab late in the third quarter to bring Miami within 17-14 at the time. There aren't expected to be any further…read more

Hill is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Earlier Sunday, the Dolphins announced that Hill was pulled over in his vehicle about one block from Hard Rock Stadium and briefly detained by police before being released. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Hill was cited for reckless driving, but the incident won't prevent the star wideout from suiting up in the Dolphins' season opener.

Hill was detained by police for a driving violation outside of Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, but his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that the receiver will suit up and play in the Dolphins' season opener against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In a situation seemingly similar to that of professional golfer Scottie Scheffler during this year's PGA Championship, Hill was spotted in handcuffs outside of his home stadium, but it won't stop him from being available for the Week 1 matchup.

Analysis: Hill returned to practice Monday after having been limited since mid-August due to a hand/thumb injury. It always looked like the Dolphins were simply taking a cautious approach to Hill's recovery, but it's encouraging to see the star wideout remove any ambiguity from the situation ahead of Week 1.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Hill (thumb) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) will both practice and "had no setbacks," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Hill and Waddle have both had their practice reps capped in recent weeks, but it doesn't seem like the Dolphins have had any real doubts about having the star WR duo available for Week 1. A right thumb injury has lingered for Hill since mid-August, so Miami may have simply been taking a cautious approach to his recovery, with catching ability in mind.

Hill (thumb) remains a non-participant at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is wearing a non-contact jersey Thursday, but the team has also downplayed his injury severity.

Hill and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) aren't on the field for pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's preseason game against Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike McDaniel suggested most starters would play, but Waddle is banged up and Hill is a sensible exception. Few non-QBs are more important to their teams, and no player was targeted on a higher percentage of his routes in 2022 or 2023 than Hill.

Restructures contract
Hill agreed with the Dolphins on Saturday on a restructured contract worth $90 million, including $65 million in guaranteed money, over the next three years, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The restructured contract doesn't add any additional years to Hill's tenure in Miami, but it does expand his guaranteed money over four years to $106.5 million, the most by a receiver in NFL history. The agreement comes on the heels of two huge seasons by Hill for the Dolphins, as he's averaged 119 catches for 1,755 yards and 10 touchdowns in the pair of regular-season campaigns since he joined the organization in 2022.

Hill secured five of eight targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 26-7 wild-card loss to the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Analysis: Hill's much-ballyhooed return to Arrowhead Stadium did have one standout moment, a 53-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter that served as the Dolphins' first points of the night. However, the perennial Pro Bowler was otherwise impressively shut down by the Chiefs' secondary, netting just nine yards on his four other catches.

He missed the Week 15 win over the Jets but then caught nine of 14 targets for 99 yards in his return to the lineup against Dallas.

Hill (ankle) finished with nine receptions for 99 yards off 14 targets in Sunday's 22-20 win over Dallas.
Analysis: Hill returned from a one-game absence due to a minor ankle injury and resumed his role as Miami's top receiving option. The speed demon wound up leading the Dolphins in targets, receptions and receiving yards after fellow starter Jaylen Waddle left Sunday's contest twice with eye and shin injuries, respectively. If the latter is forced to miss any time, Hill would see his usual lofty target potential increase even further against the Ravens on Dec. 31.

Analysis: Though mid-game visits to the locker room or the injury tent on the sideline haven't been out of the ordinary for Hill this season, the wideout struggled to bounce back from the ankle injury he suffered in the first quarter of Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans. After sustaining the injury while being tackled as he was making his way out of bounds, Hill missed the entire second quarter before checking back into the game for the second drive of the third quarter. Hill ended the night having…read more

Will get scans on ankle injury
Hill (ankle) caught four of five targets for 61 yards in Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans. He was in and out of the game due to an ankle issue and said after the game that he'll get scans on the injury but is hoping to avoid missing additional action, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Hill hurt his ankle in the first quarter but returned just after the halfway point of the third quarter. He made catches of 23 and 25 yards on a drive that ended in a game-tying field goal early in the fourth, but Hill was clearly playing at less than 100 percent and spent a significant portion of Miami's offensive plays on the sideline. The final score doesn't show just how much the Dolphins missed Hill, as Miami's 27 points were fueled by a pick-six and two short touchdown drives that went a…read more

Returns to field for MNF
Hill has returned to Monday's contest against the Titans after hurting his ankle in the first half, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill injured his ankle late in the first quarter and was deemed questionable to return after spending some time in the medical tent. The speedy receiver remained on the sideline for the remainder of the first half, but he was able to rejoin the offense midway through the third quarter. Hill's return should be a big boost to a Dolphins offense that didn't score a touchdown in the first half of Monday's matchup. The team's only trip to the end zone came on a pick-six.

Hurts ankle, questionable to return
Hill suffered an ankle injury during the first half of Monday's Week 14 game against Tennessee and has been deemed questionable to return, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill initially left the field under his own power and stood on the sideline after injuring his ankle late in the first quarter, but he eventually headed to the medical tent. He subsequently tested out his ankle before the Dolphins announced that the star wideout was questionable to return to the contest. Hill's absence would obviously be a big blow both to Miami and to fantasy managers who roster him. Jaylen Waddle figures to be Tua Tagovailoa's top target while Hill is out of the game, and…read more

No injury concerns
Hill (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Titans, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill was a limited participant in practice all week, but he never seemed in danger of missing any time. The dynamic wideout is on pace for rarefied air as a receiver, and Monday's matchup against a struggling Titans pass defense projects to be another opportunity for Hill to pad his massive lead in terms of receiving yards across the NFL.

Puts in limited practice Friday
Hill (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: Hill took a step forward in terms of activity Friday after sitting out Thursday's practice entirely, though his absence was most likely maintenance-related more than anything. The Dolphins haven't suggested that Hill's status for Monday's game against the Titans is truly in any jeopardy, but the star receiver may nonetheless need to put in a full practice Saturday to avoid carrying a designation into the Week 14 contest.

Absent for first Week 14 practice
Hill (ankle/rest) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The fact that Hill's absence for the Dolphins' first Week 14 practice was attributed in part due to "rest" suggests that the ankle issue isn't anything that puts his status in jeopardy for Monday's game against the Titans. Even while playing less than half of the Dolphins' offensive snaps in a 45-15 win over Washington in Week 13, Hill still turned in his third straight 100-yard receiving performance and is now up to 1,481 yards (to go with 93 catches and 12 touchdowns) through his first 12…read more

Another standout effort Sunday
Hill secured five of seven targets for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 45-15 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also netted minus-4 yards on two rush attempts.
Analysis: The Dolphins already had a 31-7 lead by halftime, so Hill had a chance for some time off late in the contest. However, as he's demonstrated countless times, he didn't need a particularly robust target volume to do plenty of damage, striking from 78 and 60 yards away for touchdown receptions in the first and second quarter, respectively. Hill's yardage total comfortably paced Miami on the afternoon, while he drew even with Jaylen Waddle for the team lead in receptions. Hill is now seven catches…read more

Cleared for Sunday
Hill (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill was never believed to be in serious danger of missing the game and managed limited practices Thursday and Friday. He should be fine for his usual leading role this Sunday against a miserable Washington defense that's given up a league-high 28 touchdown passes and a league-worst 9.8 YPT to wide receivers. Matchups don't get much better, especially after the Commanders ruled out DE James Smith-Williams (hamstring) and CB Emmanuel Forbes (elbow) on Friday.

The star wideout evidently sustained the ankle injury at some point during the game, and after sitting out Miami's first Week 13 practice, his status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Hill caught nine of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets. He added one carry for two yards.
Analysis: Hill briefly had his foot looked at on the sideline after making a 35-yard catch on Miami's first drive, but he checked back in and added a 17-yard reception three plays later. The speedster kept rolling with his league-leading 10th receiving touchdown of the season in the second quarter, which he scored on a seven-yard catch.

Hill (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation for Friday's game against the Jets, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: A hand issue that had Hill listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate won't prevent the wideout from suiting up Friday, and barring any in-game setbacks, he figures to maintain a high-volume role in Miami's passing offense.

By all accounts, Hill looks to be in prime position for another high-end fantasy season in Year 2 of coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, with Tua Tagovailoa primed to return as his starting quarterback.

Leads Dolphins in receiving
Hill caught seven of 15 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. He also rushed two times for five yards.
Analysis: Hill led Miami in all major receiving categories, but his output was limited compared to its usual level as fill-in quarterback Skylar Thompson averaged just 4.9 yards per attempt while throwing two interceptions. Despite being subjected to a revolving door of signal-callers in his first season with the Dolphins, Hill still racked up career highs in catches (119), targets (170) and receiving yards (1,710) while totaling eight touchdowns to boot. With unmatched, game-breaking speed, Hill should…read more

Struggles in regular-season finale
Hill brought in two of five targets for 23 yards in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a forgettable afternoon overall for Hill on an individual level, although the overriding storyline naturally was the Dolphins' ability to secure a wild-card spot with the victory. Hill exited the game at one point with an ankle issue but was able to return, but he'll head into next weekend's road wild-card matchup against the Bills with a combined 6-78 line over the final two games of the regular season and no immediate insight into which quarterback he'll be working with.

Held in check by Patriots
Hill secured four of seven targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots. He also scored a two-yard touchdown on his only carry.
Analysis: Hill's receiving upside was capped with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) inactive and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) forced out in the third quarter, leaving him to finish the game with third-string rookie Skylar Thompson. The speedster finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Raheem Mostert, in large part due to a game plan focused on shorter completions against New England's high-octane defense. His rushing touchdown helped salvage the day for fantasy purposes, but quarterback play could…read more

Hits century mark against Packers
Hill caught four of six targets for 103 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: The Dolphins' offense could do nothing wrong in the first half and almost nothing right in the second, otherwise Hill might have put together an even bigger performance. It's the speedster's seventh 100-yard game of the season, but he remains behind Justin Jefferson in the race for the NFL receiving yards crown heading into a Week 17 road clash with the Patriots.

Heavy catch volume in loss
Hill secured nine of 13 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 32-29 loss to the Bills on Saturday night.
Analysis: Hill recorded a game-high reception tally in the high-scoring loss and also posted a 20-yard scoring grab down the right sideline in the third quarter on a perfectly thrown pass from Tua Tagovailoa. The speedster now has a touchdown reception in three straight contests and a pair of nine-catch tallies in that span as well, giving him plenty of momentum going into a key Christmas Day afternoon home matchup against the Packers in Week 16.

Hill (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Hill played through an ankle issue in a 23-17 loss to the Chargers over the weekend, but it didn't stop him from recording four catches for 81 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets while adding another score of a fumble recovery. Head coach Mike McDaniel said after the contest that Hill wasn't dealing with anything more than minor "bumps and bruises," and the expectation is that the star wideout will be ready to play Saturday in Buffalo.

Working through bumps and bruises
Coach Mike McDaniel relayed Monday that Hill, who worked through an ankle issue during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers, is in line to receive treatment for the injury Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: At this stage, it doesn't appear that the wideout's status for Saturday's game against the Bills is in danger, with McDaniel noting "from all indications, it's bumps and bruises he'll be able to work through." Chances are, however, that Hill's practice reps will be managed in the coming days.

Finishes game after injury scare
Hill (ankle) had four receptions (10 targets) for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Chargers. He also recovered a teammate's fumble for another touchdown.
Analysis: Hill had fantasy managers holding their collective breath when he was forced to the locker room with an ankle injury late in the first half. The speedy wideout was able to return after halftime, promptly scoring a touchdown for good measure. Miami limited Hill's snaps in the second half after he appeared to be running at less than 100 percent on a couple of routes as the game progressed.

Hill (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers after practicing fully Friday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill sat out practice Thursday, but the wideout was back for a full session Friday. Though 12 contests to date, Hill has logged a fantasy-friendly 96-1,379-5 receiving line on 129 targets. As long as they remain healthy, Hill and Jaylen Waddle should continue to see plenty of volume in the passing game in the weeks to come.

Another big game
Hill caught nine of 13 targets for 146 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Hill comfortably led the Dolphins in all major receiving categories, as teammate Jaylen Waddle managed just one catch for nine yards while playing through a leg injury. In signature Hill fashion, the speedster broke free for a 45-yard touchdown bomb to begin the fourth quarter. In doing so, Hill has now scored three times in his last four games, and Sunday incredibly marked his sixth outing with at least 140 receiving yards this season.

Not on injury report
Hill isn't listed on Miami's Week 13 injury report Wednesday ahead of a game in San Francisco on Sunday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill dealt with cramps during Sunday's 30-15 win over Houston, and head coach Mike McDaniel pulled most of his starters anyway once the team banked a 30-point lead at halftime. Cramps shouldn't be as much of an issue for Hill this weekend on the West Coast, though he tends to play a few less snaps than other top receivers because of how often he's targeted when on the field and how much energy he expends on each play. The concern for this week -- so much as there can ever be one for a player…read more

Hill (undisclosed) brought in six of nine targets for 85 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday. He left the game in the second half due to cramping, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald.
Analysis: Hill put together an efficient performance prior to his early exit, helping the Dolphins jump out to a 30-0 lead by halftime with a team-high catch total and co-team-best receiving yardage tally as well. The speedster's cramping issues shouldn't be a long-term concern, and he'll figure to play an integral role in a Week 13 road showdown against the 49ers after eclipsing the 70-yard mark for the fifth time in the last six games Sunday.

Analysis: Hill's performance was reminiscent of his glory days in Kansas City working with a quarterback in Patrick Mahomes that he's favorably compared current signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa to on a couple of occasions since joining the Dolphins.

Dealt to Miami in stunner
The Dolphins acquired Hill from the Chiefs on Wednesday in exchange for 2022 first-, second- and fourth-round picks and 2023 fourth- and sixth-round picks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Miami intends to sign Hill to a four-year, $120 million contract extension once the deal becomes official. In the wake of this stunning development, Hill will now exit the dynamite Chiefs offense and get a steep downgrade in quarterback from Patrick Mahomes to Tua Tagovailoa.

The speedster wouldn't be denied the end zone with just over a minute to play and the Chiefs down by three, as he found a seam in Buffalo's defense and raced down the field for a go-ahead 64-yard touchdown. The Bills answered with a touchdown of their own, but a 19-yard catch by Hill helped set up the game-tying field goal, and the Chiefs won it on the…read more

Hits pay dirt in playoff win
Hill caught all five of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Travis Kelce was the featured offensive weapon for Kansas City in this decisive victory -- as has been the case over the final stretch of the regular season -- but Hill still managed to produce a solid fantasy line despite failing to "go off." The speedy wideout has been a little more boom-or-bust than he has in previous seasons, likely due to defenses running tons of deep, two-safety formations and forcing the Chiefs' playmakers to work more underneath routes. Hill still possesses the ability…read more

Cleared for playoff opener
Hill (heel) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Hill was limited at practice Thursday, but his full participation in Friday's session sets the stage for the play-making wideout to be available for the team's postseason opener. As a result, Hill and tight end Travis Kelce will continue to profile as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top passing targets this weekend. Through 17 regular season outings, Hill recorded a fantasy-friendly 111-1,239-9 receiving line on 159 targets to go with nine carries for 96 yards.

Limited practice session Thursday
Hill (heel) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Hill was a full participant Wednesday, so it remains to be seen if his listed limitations are maintenance-related or indicative of a setback. Friday's final injury report will add some clarity on that front, and if the wideout is able to to practice fully to close the week, he'd be in line to approach Sunday's playoff game against the Steelers minus an injury designation.

Hill (heel) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com previously noted that Hill looked good during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, a notion echoed by head coach Andy Reid, per Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. With a full session under his belt, Hill is slated to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers. He should be in line for a full workload after the heel injury contributed to his snaps being limited in the Chiefs' Week 18 win over the Broncos.

Practicing Wednesday
Hill (heel) was present for Wednesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs will reveal the extent of Hill's participation later Wednesday, when the team issues its first injury report ahead of the team's wild-card matchup Sunday versus the Steelers. Based on his observation of the session, Sweeney suggested that Hill looks good to go for the postseason opener. In the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Broncos this past weekend, Hill's heel issue limited him to just 14 snaps on offense.

Hill recorded one reception on three targets for two yards in Saturday's 28-24 win over the Broncos.

Quiet game despite 10 targets
Hill caught six of 10 targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals. He added two yards on his lone rushing attempt.
Analysis: After totaling only 19 yards in his return from the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, Hill led the Chiefs in targets but didn't make much of his opportunities. He almost hauled in a deep pass just before halftime, but Bengals safety Vonn Bell knocked the ball out of Hill's hands. The speedster will look to get back on track before the playoffs with a bounce-back performance in the season finale against Denver.

Quiet day in win
Hill caught two passes for 19 yards on two targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Analysis: It's possible that Hill's inability to practice this week (illness) left him with a decreased presence in the game plan, though the ease with which the Chiefs won (36-10) might have also played a role. The Chiefs put the Steelers away easily even without using Hill, but to beat the Bengals in Week 17 the Chiefs will likely need to reappoint Hill as their workhorse receiver. With that, a return to high-level fantasy production for Hill becomes more likely than not.

Analysis: He was one of seven Kansas City players to test positive Tuesday, bringing the number of players on the organization's reserve/COVID-19 list up to 14. If vaccinated, Hill will still have a chance at being cleared for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but his availability will hinge on him being asymptomatic.

Season-best catch total in win
Hill secured 12 of 13 targets for 148 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 34-28 overtime win over the Chargers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Hill's catch total paced the Chiefs on the night and also served as a season-best figure for the explosive speedster. The reception that broke his previous high of 11 catches this season was a 14-yard grab on the game-winning drive in overtime that he made after spending some time on the sideline late in the fourth quarter and early in the extra period getting stretched out for what appeared to be lower-leg cramps.

Hill recorded four receptions on four targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: The Chiefs' offense didn't need to do much in the game, as they were up 21-0 by early in the second quarter. Between game script and the fact that Hill briefly left the game, as reported by Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, he was limited to his lowest target total since Week 2.

Low usage in win
Hill had two receptions (five targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Hill posted a rare dud in a matchup that the Chiefs dominated with their defense. Travis Kelce (three receptions for 27 yards) was also held in check, providing a rare instance in which both of Kansas City's superstar pass-catchers were non-factors. Perhaps the Chiefs' receiving duo will get back on track next Sunday against the Raiders, whose defensive personnel are far less likely to hold both players down.

Solid showing against Dallas
Hill caught seven of 11 targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The meeting between two of the most dangerous passing games in the league was mostly a bust for a variety of reasons, but Hill at least did his part, leading both teams in catches, targets and yards on the afternoon. The speedster has a 30-291-3 line on 50 targets over his last four games despite the sluggish performance of the Kansas City offense as a whole, and he doesn't figure to lose any momentum over the team's Week 12 bye.

Bounces back with two scores
Hill had seven receptions (10 targets) for 83 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-14 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Hill bounced back from a rough Week 9 performance against Green Bay by taking advantage of a prime matchup against the Raiders' secondary. Travis Kelce also produced a monster stat line (eight receptions for 119 yards), which is a positive sign for a Kansas City offense that has failed to fire on all cylinders this season. Hill will take on the Cowboys' defense in Week 11. Dallas currently surrenders the 21st-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts.

Hill caught four passes for 36 yards on 11 targets against Green Bay on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill's targets weren't especially useful for the Chiefs in the 13-7 win, but there was only so much he could do with Patrick Mahomes struggling badly yet again, completing just 20 of 37 attempts for 166 yards and one touchdown.

The speedster's long gain on the night was only 15 yards, but Hill still did ample damage through his bevy of looks underneath.

Produces little with nine targets
Hill recorded six receptions on nine targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Hill saw plenty of volume, though his three-game stretch of double-digit targets came to an end. He was limited to only two gains of more than 10 yards, one of which came from Chad Henne late in the game after Patrick Mahomes was forced to exit with a head injury. Hill continues to play through a quadriceps issue that may be limiting his explosiveness, as over his last three games he has failed to record a catch of more than 20 yards.

Massive numbers in Week 1 win
Hill caught 11 of 15 targets for 197 yards and a touchdown and gained four yards on his only carry in Sunday's 33-29 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Kansas City's offense managed only 10 points in the first half, but the unit erupted after intermission, with Hill's 75-yard TD early in the fourth quarter being the biggest play of the comeback. Patrick Mahomes leaned heavily on his two favorite options -- Hill and Travis Kelce -- all afternoon, with no other K.C. player getting more than three targets. That narrow tree bodes very well for Hill's production in Week 2, even on the road against the Ravens.

Analysis: Hill was on the field during pregame warmups but didn't join the first-team offense on the first snap of the contest. Afterward, the reason for his absence was revealed, but the Chiefs considered the decision a precautionary measure. With Patrick Mahomes getting a fair amount of run in the team's first two exhibitions, he and the rest of the key skill-position players likely will take a seat next Friday against the Vikings, meaning Hill may not play in an actual game until Week 1.

Leading inexperienced WR group
The Chiefs have open competition for roles behind Hill at wide receiver, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: It's possible Sammy Watkins' departure leads to Hill and Travis Kelce handling even larger target shares, but the Chiefs likely prefer that another receiver -- namely Mecole Hardman -- steps up to the challenge. In any case, Watkins was far from a target hog in his three years with Kansas City, averaging 5.9 in 34 regular-season games (he missed 14). The biggest thing for Hill is simply that he and QB Patrick Mahomes stay healthy, as the 27-year-old speedster has been a top-five receiver (both…read more

Held in check in Super Bowl loss
Hill caught seven of 10 targets for 73 yards during Kansas City's 31-9 loss to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. He also had one carry for five yards.
Analysis: Hill dropped 269 receiving yards and three scores when he last met the Buccaneers in Week 12 of the regular season, and he went over 100 yards in each of the Chiefs' last two postseason games, so holding him to just 73 yards on 10 targets should be considered a huge victory for Bucs' defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. The constant pressure that Patrick Mahomes faced while trying to survive without both starting tackles heavily impeded Hill's ability to operate as a deep threat, but the…read more

Big yardage in championship
Hill reeled in nine of 11 targets for 172 yards during Sunday's 38-24 win against the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.
Analysis: During Kansas City's divisional-round win against the Browns, Hill and Travis Kelce became the second set of teammates in Chiefs franchise history to each eclipse 100 receiving yards in a playoff game, joining Ed Podolak and Elmo Wright (1971). Both Hill and Kelce surpassed the century mark again Sunday, with Hill's 71-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter very nearly providing his first score of the postseason. The three-time All-Pro has totaled 17 playoff receptions for 282 yards heading…read more

Leading receiver in playoff win
Hill caught eight of 10 targets for 110 yards and added nine yards on three rushing attempts in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Browns in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: Hill had 78 receiving yards before Patrick Mahomes' (concussion) third-quarter departure, then made a circus 23-yard catch on a Chad Henne pass in the fourth, pressing the ball against his thigh to secure possession as he went to the ground. Hill saved his most important play for last, coming open for a five-yard catch to pick up 4th-and-inches and allow Kansas City to run out the clock. While Hill's stock would take a hit if Mahomes is unable to play in next week's AFC Championship Game…read more

Not on injury report
Hill (hamstring) doesn't appear on Kansas City's injury report in advance of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Browns.
Analysis: Hill didn't play Week 17 with Kansas City having already secured the top seed in the AFC. The team's ensuing bye week gave the playmaking wideout some added healing time for his hamstring, so he'll be ready to go for the team's postseason opener. Hill concluded the regular season with a career-high 17 touchdowns (15 receiving, two rushing) while accounting for 1,399 yards from scrimmage in 15 games.

Hill (hamstring) was present for Wednesday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Hill sat out Kansas City's regular-season finale against the Chargers, but he was inactive mainly for rest purposes with the Chiefs having already secured the AFC's No. 1 overall seed. With the added healing time afforded by a first-round playoff bye, Hill looks poised to return to action Sunday against the Browns.

Hill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: In addition to Hill, the Chiefs also ruled out Sammy Watkins (calf), which sets the stage for the Chiefs -- who have clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye -- to roll out a wideout corps headed by Demarcus Robinson, Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle in Week 17.

Analysis: Hill's absences from consecutive practices to begin Week 17 only adds further fuel to the notion that the wideout won't suit up Sunday against the Chargers. If Hill is inactive for the contest, it shouldn't be taken as an indication that the star wideout suffered a setback with his right hamstring coming out of his appearance Week 16 versus the Falcons. Instead, the Chiefs are expected to exercise caution with most of their key starters and any banged-up players in the regular-season finale as…read more

Hill (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill also had his practice reps limited last week, but he nonetheless managed to suit up for the Chiefs' win over the Falcons and secured four of six targets for 65 yards. Coach Andy Reid has already announced that Patrick Mahomes will sit out Week 17, and the Chiefs will almost certainly give Hill the extra week of rest as well, especially if there are any lingering concerns about his health. Kansas City has already secured the AFC's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Contained in Week 16 win
Hill caught four of his six targets for 65 yards during Sunday's 17-14 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: Hill was limited by a hamstring issue Thursday and Friday in practice after being listed as a non-participant Wednesday. However, coach Andy Reid portrayed confidence late in the week regarding his star receiver's status. The five-time Pro Bowler was, indeed, able to avoid his first game absence of 2020, but the Falcons kept him without a touchdown for just the second time since Week 6. Hill has been held under 80 receiving yards in four consecutive games, though a combined three TDs boosted…read more

Suits up Sunday
Hill (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: This was the expected outcome, though ESPN's Adam Schefter previously noted that Kansas City plans to "monitor Hill" during Sunday's game and "be smart with him as well." Assuming no in-game setbacks, however, Hill should remain a key playmaker in his team's Week 16 offense, which will take aim at an Atlanta defense that has allowed an average of 287.7 passing yards per game to date. Only Seattle (293.0) has allowed more.

So long as Hill can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Analysis: According to Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, head coach Andy Reid said Hill's hamstring "tightened up" during last weekend's win over the Saints. As a result, Hill will get a recovery day Wednesday as the Chiefs kick off Week 16 prep, but at this point, the team hasn't expressed concern about the wideout missing Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Hill caught six of 10 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Saints. He also gained one yard on his only carry.
Analysis: His five-yard grab midway through the first quarter gave Hill his 15th receiving TD and 17th total touchdown on the season in only 14 games. The speedster also has 83 catches on the year, leaving him five shy of a new career high heading into Week 16's meeting with a Falcons secondary that just got torched by the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Hill breathed life into Kansas City's offense with a 32-yard score on an end-around to cut Miami's lead to 10-7 in the second quarter, then put the Chiefs up 21-10 with a 44-yard touchdown catch early in the third. The star receiver's volume has bounced around, but Hill doesn't require many looks to take over a game, needing just four touches to post this gaudy stat line.

Analysis: Hill finally cooled off following an unconscious four weeks of fantasy gold in which he averaged 145.5 receiving yards and 2.0 touchdowns per game. Posting 88 total yards from scrimmage is nothing to scoff at, but the star wideout's fantasy managers can't help but feel let down after being spoiled over the previous month-plus.

Analysis: As his final line indicates, the incomparable speedster was in top form, particularly during a first quarter when he hauled in touchdown throws of 75 and 44 yards. Hill's 159 receiving yards in the first quarter was the most in any one period in an NFL game since 2006, and he came just 40 yards short overall of equaling Stephone Paige's single-game franchise record of 309 yards, set back in 1985.

Analysis: Hill got the scoring going early for the Chiefs on a short pitch and catch from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter. The 11 receptions set a new high watermark for the speedy wideout. Hill is known more for his explosive plays as opposed to volume, but the Raiders were sitting in cover-4 shells for most of the night, so head coach Andy Reid and Mahomes took what the defense gave them and connected with Hill on shorter routes.

Analysis: Hill burned the vulnerable Jets secondary for touchdowns of 36 and 41 yards, accounting for two of Patrick Mahomes' five passing scores. While Hill doesn't match the monstrous target totals commanded by most elite wide receivers, his speed and Mahomes' downfield accuracy help the Chiefs' top wideout make a major impact week in and week out.

Makes pivotal grab in SB LIV win
Hill secured nine of 16 targets for 105 yards during the Chiefs' 31-20 win over the 49ers in Super LIV on Sunday.
Analysis: The Chiefs unsurprisingly found it challenging to hit on many downfield routes versus the 49ers' elite secondary, but the one time Hill got loose, it essentially changed the dynamic of the contest. Down 20-10 and facing a 3rd-and-15 at their own 35-yard line, Patrick Mahomes and Hill connected on a 44-yard pass that placed the ball at the 49ers' 21-yard line.

Hill caught five of seven targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns while adding a seven-yard carry in Sunday's 35-24 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Hill didn't make many explosive plays and finished averaging a middling 13.5 yards per catch. He made up for his lack of yardage by doing damage in the red zone, including touchdown grabs of eight and 20 yards in the first half. Hill fared much better in this one than he did in his previous outing, and he'll look to make a similar impact in the Super Bowl against either the 49ers or the Packers.

Hill caught four of five targets for 61 yards during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Hill was quiet for the bulk of Sunday's game, when, with the Chiefs nursing a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter, he got behind the Chargers' secondary for a 47-yard completion to set up the game-sealing touchdown. The win, coupled with a Patriots loss, means the Chiefs will be the AFC's No. 2 seed and play either New England, the Texans or the Bills in two weeks. In two games against New England and Houston this season, Hill has 11 total receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns.

Both he and Travis Kelce paced all Kansas City receiving options in production as per usual, and we should expect more of the same against the Chargers in Week 17.

Hill caught five of seven targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 23-3 win over Denver. He added a one-yard run during the game.
Analysis: The snowy conditions were much more conducive to the short passing game, but that's not what the Chiefs and Hill were thinking early during Sunday's contest. Hill and Patrick Mahomes capped Kansas City's opening drive off with a 41-yard strike on a deep out-breaking route, as Hill continued his streak of big plays against Denver. Hill came back around later for a lunging five-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter for his second multi-touchdown game of the season. Hill has recorded at…read more

Held in check by Pats
Hill caught six of eight targets for 62 yards while adding eight rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: The speedy receiver saw plenty of Stephon Gilmore on the afternoon, but Hill's production may also have been affected by the knock Patrick Mahomes took to his throwing hand early in the game, as the quarterback seemed reluctant to attack downfield afterwards. Assuming Mahomes' injury isn't serious, Hill will try to rebound in Week 15 at home against the Broncos, whom he posted a 3-74-1 line against in Week 7.

Can't break out Sunday
Hill caught five of eight targets for 55 yards and lost four yards on his only carry in Sunday's 40-9 rout of the Raiders.
Analysis: The Chiefs' passing game was surprisingly muted despite the final score, as windy conditions at Arrowhead Stadium prevented Patrick Mahomes from stretching the field as usual. Hill's longest grab went for only 17 yards, a somewhat disappointing showing for the speedster considering he had eight catches of 20-plus yards in the five games prior to straining his hamstring in Week 11. Hill could struggle to get open deep again next week in a road matchup against the Patriots' league-leading defense.

Good to go Week 13
Coach Andy Reid confirmed Friday that Hill (hamstring) would be able to play Sunday against the Raiders, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill was forced out early in the Chiefs' previous game Nov. 18 versus the Chargers with a strained hamstring, but he seemingly put to rest any concern about his health by practicing fully Wednesday in Kansas City's first official session following a Week 12 bye. The wideout went on to practice fully again Thursday and Friday, so he shouldn't face any restrictions with his snap count as he checks back into the lineup this weekend. Despite playing less than 20 percent of the offensive snaps due…read more

In line to practice fully
Coach Andy Reid relayed that Hill (hamstring) will be a full practice participant Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site previously relayed Reid's optimism about Hill's Week 13 availability. The fact that the wideout is slated to take every practice rep in the Chiefs' first session of the week puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Raiders, in the absence of any setbacks.

Optimism regarding Week 13 status
Coach Andy Reid indicated Monday that he's optimistic about Hill's (hamstring) availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill was forced out of the Chiefs' Week 11 game early with a hamstring injury, but the team's bye came at a good time for the wideout. Added clarity on his Week 13 status should arrive once the team starts practicing this week and can see how Hill's hamstring responds in the process.

Could be back after bye
Hill's hamstring injury is considered minor, with the Chiefs hoping he'll be ready to play after a Week 12 bye, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hill reportedly wanted to re-enter Monday's 24-17 win over the Chargers, but the Chiefs held him out for the rest of the game after he limped off the field in the first quarter. Based on Rapoport's report, Hill's MRI seemingly returned good news, confirming that the hamstring strain isn't too severe. The Chiefs will come out of their Week 12 bye to host the Raiders on Dec. 1, with the matchup potentially determining which team sits atop the AFC West heading into the final quarter of the season.

Headed for MRI
Hill will undergo an MRI on his hamstring in the next day or two, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hill's night Monday was cut short when the receiver lasted just seven offensive snaps before pulling up lame on a route downfield. The test should reveal the extent of Hill's strain and provide a better idea of his timeline for a return. On a positive note, the Chiefs are on bye this week, so there is a chance Hill could avoid missing additional action if the damage turns out to be minor.

Dealing with strained hamstring
Hill is dealing with a strained hamstring, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill picked up a limp after failing to bring in a long pass in the first quarter, never returning to the game thereafter. There's no telling how long he could be sidelined until he undergoes further testing this week, but the Chiefs might catch a break in that regard with their bye on tap in Week 12.

Heads to locker room
Hill (hamstring) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Hill came up limping after attempting to haul in a long pass and immediately caught the eye of team trainers. After stretching and trying to stay in the game, he headed to the locker room to get extra medical attention. On offense, Hill's absence should lead to more opportunity for Sammy Watkins and Mecole Hardman, with Hardman taking over return duties.

Speeds past Titans in loss
Hill caught 11 of 19 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-32 loss to the Titans. He added a three-yard run during the contest.
Analysis: Hill snapped the tie midway through the third quarter, outrunning his defender in order to get under Patrick Mahomes' 11-yard touchdown loft. Hill no doubt benefited from Mahomes' return from a knee injury -- his 19 targets setting a career high -- but he also did pretty well with Matt Moore in Week 9 and, with Sunday's effort, was able to top 120 yards in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. Hill has reached at least 70 yards in every game that he has completed this season and…read more

Eclipses century mark in win
Hill brought in six of eight targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 26-23 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed once for five yards.
Analysis: Hill demonstrated he didn't necessarily need Patrick Mahomes under center to thrive, exploding for his first 100-yard effort of the season and notching a 41-yard catch in the process. The versatile speedster also opened the scoring with a 40-yard touchdown grab and now has four receiving scores since returning from his early-season collarbone injury. Hill should have Mahomes back under center Week 10 against the Titans, affording him a good opportunity to put together a second consecutive…read more
