Hill reached the two fastest speeds of any ball carrier in 2023 | 57 touches reaching 20+ mph since 2018

Hill has gained a league-high 1,062 yards on vertical routes since 2022, 240 more than any other WR

Churns out full practice

Hill (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: An ankle injury capped Hill's reps during Wednesday's session, but his full participation in practice a day later clears up any lingering concern regarding his status for Sunday's game agains the Broncos. Hill already enters Week 3 action ranked first in the NFL in receiving touchdowns (three), third in receiving yards (255) and tied for fourth in receptions (16), but he could have more target volume headed his way Sunday if fellow starting wideout Jaylen Waddle (concussion) isn't able to play.…read more

Limited at practice Wednesday

Hill was limited at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Meanwhile, Jaylen Waddle (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, so the status of Miami's top two wideouts is worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Broncos approaches. In the Dolphins' Week 2 win over the Patriots, Hill logged 54 of a possible 63 snaps on offense and brought in five of his nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Scores to offset low yardage

Hill had five receptions on nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is known for taking away the opponent's best weapon, and it was clear from the jump that the defense was not going to let the speedy wideout beat them deep. Hill still provided value for his fantasy managers with an early touchdown catch, his third through three games. Fellow starter Jaylen Waddle was knocked out of the game after a rough hit to the head, so the Dolphins may need to rely on Hill more than usual if the former isn't able to go against the…read more

Torches Chargers' secondary

Hill recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-34 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Hill teamed up with Tua Tagovailoa to singlehandedly dismantle the Chargers. He had five receptions of more than 20 yards, one of which went for a 35-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Hill also tallied the game-winning score on a four-yard catch with just under two minutes remaining in the game. It was an incredible performance to begin the 2023 season and marked Hill's third career contest, and his first with the Dolphins, with more than 200 receiving yards.

Won't face league discipline

The NFL has decided there will be no disciplinary action taken against Hill in relation to an incident at Haulover Marina in June, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Per NFL.com, Hill was investigated by police after a dispute with a South Florida marine worker who accused the wide receiver of assault. However, the issue was subsequently resolved in July, according to attorneys representing Hill and the worker. As the coming season approaches, Hill, who recorded 119 catches (on 170 targets) for 1,710 yards in 2022, is slated to reprise his role as a focal point in a Miami passing attack that also features fellow WR Jaylen Waddle, who caught 75 passes last…read more

Splash play on one catch

Hill brought in his only target for a 32-yard gain in the Dolphins' 31-18 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.

Analysis: Hill's reception came on the Dolphins' first play from scrimmage, with the speedster catching a pass over the middle and turning upfield for some extra yardage. Hill wasn't targeted again, but the cameo was all that was needed to corroborate his readiness for the regular season. The prolific wideout will now turn his attention to a Week 1 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Brief preseason debut

Hill caught his lone target for 13 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Texans.

Analysis: Hill made a brief two-drive preseason debut -- the first of which lasted just one play after Tua Tagovailoa threw an interception on his first attempt -- which explains the fantasy star's lack of usage sans Jaylen Waddle (hip). Tagovailoa settled down and found his favorite target for a 13-yard pitch and catch on Miami's next drive. Hill doesn't need to prove anything before the regular season, so it was a welcome sight to see the fantasy star and his quarterback get on the field as Week 1…read more

Expected to play Saturday

Hill is among the Dolphins' healthy starters expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The same applies to top QB Tua Tagovailoa, while fellow starting wideout Jaylen Waddle is dealing with an abdomen injury and is not in line to play Saturday. Though it appears as though Hill will see some reps against Houston, we wouldn't expect his appearance to be a lengthy one, with the team's depth options likely to see plenty of action after the key skill players get their work in.

Sitting out Friday

Hill isn't slated to play in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: The Dolphins offense also won't include QB Tua Tagovailoa, RBs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson and WR Jaylen Waddle, leaving Cedrick Wilson, River Cracraft, Braxton Berrios and Robbie Chosen, among others, as the team's available wide receivers. Hill's next chance for exhibition action will arrive Saturday, Aug. 19 at Houston.

NFL still investigating incident

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the NFL is "still looking into" Hill's involvement in an incident at a Miami Beach marina last month, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Hill reached a settlement Monday with the other party involved in the incident, with a joint-attorney statement noting that the two sides have "resolved their differences," per Adam Schefter of ESPN. No charges were filed against Hill, though the Miami-Dade Police Department investigated the incident. While Hill's legal situation has been resolved, potential disciplinary action from the NFL can't be ruled out until the league's own investigation into the matter is completed. The seven-time Pro…read more

Dealing with minor injury

Coach Mike McDaniel said Hill (undisclosed) has been limited in OTAs due to "some minor injury," New England Sports Network reports.

Analysis: Hill's injury doesn't appear to be of any serious concern for the Dolphins, but it will be worth monitoring as offseason activities progress. McDaniel also said Hill is "night and day ahead of where he was last year with regard to the offense, and has his mind set on improving and being even better from last year," though it's hard to ask for better production than a 2022 campaign which saw the 29-year-old notch career-highs in terms of both catches (119) and receiving yards (1,710). Of course,…read more

Wants to play only three more years

Hill told former teammates Anthony Sherman and Gehrig Dieter that he wants to retire after 2025, per Grant Gordon of NFL.com.

Analysis: Hill made the comment five weeks after his 29th birthday March 1, suggesting he wants to retire at the conclusion of his age-31 season. Given how well he's aged so far, it seems only injuries would prevent him from still being one of the fastest players in the league at that time. This is something to at least make note of for dynasty leagues, though Hill could easily change his mind three years from now and would be missing out on only post-prime years anyway if he does end up retiring a bit…read more

Agrees to contract adjustment

Hill restructured his contract with the Dolphins on Friday to convert his $10 million roster bonus into a $24.84 million bonus and his $16 million salary into a $1.17 million salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hill's restructured opens up about $18 million in cap space for Miami as the team prepares to tackle free agency. The star wideout remains under contract for the Dolphins for the next three seasons after having put together a career 119-1,710-8 receiving line last year. 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.

Returns to game

Hill (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: The wideout was previously forced out of the contest with an ankle issue, but he's back in and should resume his key role in Miami's passing offense versus New York.

Hurts ankle Sunday

Hill was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury.

Analysis: Before leaving the contest, Hill caught two of his four targets for 23 yards. In his absence, River Cracraft and Erik Ezukanma are candidates to see added Week 18 wideout snaps for the Dolphins.

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.

Logs full practice

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

Analysis: Though Miami didn't hold a traditional full-contact practice session Wednesday, Hill looks as though he did enough to avoid being listed as a limited participant, thus clearing up any lingering concern about his status for Saturday's game at Buffalo. The stakes couldn't be much higher for the Dolphins and the matchup couldn't be more imposing, so they will no doubt give Hill all the work he can handle. In the Dolphins' previous meeting with the Bills in Week 3, Hill was held to two receptions…read more

Limited to begin Week 15 prep

Hill (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald 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. The 28-year-old was on the field for the Dolphins' final offensive drive, ending an eventful night on a…read more

Back after halftime injury scare

Hill (ankle) is on the field for Miami's first offensive snap of the second half, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Hill was deemed questionable to return at halftime but returned on the first snap of the second half. Despite a horrific first half from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Hill still got into the end zone after scampering 57 yards on a fumble recovery in the second quarter.

Good to go this week

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.

No longer ill

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Hill is no longer ill and will return to practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Hill sat out Thursday's session with the ailment, but his return to practice Friday should put him in good position to play Sunday. Hill has yet to miss a game this season and leads the NFL in receiving yards (1,379).

Misses Thursday's practice

Hill missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Hill practiced fully Wednesday, so the wideout's status now is worth monitoring closely as this weekend's game against the Chargers approaches. Friday's practice/injury report will provide further context regarding Hill's Week 14 status ahead of Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

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. Arguably the league's most explosive wideout, Hill next…read more

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

Solid showing before early exit

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.

Exits Sunday's game

Hill exited Sunday's game against the Texans due to cramping, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Prior to his departure from the contest, Hill caught six of his nine targets for 85 yards and carried once for five yards. In his absence, River Cracraft, Trent Sherfield and Cedrick Wilson are available to handle added WR snaps alongside Jaylen Waddle.

Records fourth TD of season

Hill secured five of six targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 39-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Analysis: Hill led the Dolphins in receptions on the afternoon, but his yardage total was his second lowest of the season. However, the speedster salvaged his day from a fantasy perspective with a touchdown reception for the second straight week, securing a two-yard scoring grab on the left side of the end zone late in the third quarter. Hill heads into the Week 11 bye already boasting an 81-1148-4 line through 10 games.

Eye-popping numbers yet again

Hill secured seven of eight targets for 143 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 35-32 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Analysis: Hill put together what is fast becoming a normal game for him during his young but prolific Dolphins tenure, with his catch, yardage and target tallies all serving as team highs on the afternoon. Hill also recorded his third trip to the end zone this season on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter, and he's now eclipsed the 140-yard mark on a jaw-dropping five occasions over his first nine games. Hill next gets a crack at a vulnerable Browns secondary on his home field in a…read more

Massive output in Week 8 win

Hill secured 12 of 14 targets for 188 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Dolphins' 31-27 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: Hill comfortably paced the Dolphins' pass catchers across the stat sheet, leading to the speedster tying his season high in receptions and posting his second-highest yardage total of the campaign as well. Hill has arguably been even better than expected thus far in Miami, having recorded a whopping four performances with double-digit receptions and at least 160 receiving yards. Now boasting a 69-961-2 line through eight games, Hill will head into a Week 9 road matchup against the Bears with…read more

Gains 72 yards on 13 targets

Hill had seven receptions (13 targets) for 72 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Analysis: The Dolphins had starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) back under center, and he immediately resumed peppering his favorite wideout with targets. Hill has now seen double-digit targets in four of the five games Tua has started this year. The speedster was held in check on the field -- considering the volume of targets he received -- resulting in his second lowest YPC of the season. Still, it was another productive outing for one of fantasy's top wideouts heading into a…read more

Monster numbers in loss

Hill secured 12 of 15 targets for 177 yards and netted minus-2 yards on one punt return in the Dolphins' 24-16 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Analysis: Hill led the Dolphins' air attack across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, displaying excellent chemistry with Teddy Bridgewater after the veteran came into the game for Skylar Thompson (thumb). Game script certainly worked in Hill's favor, as Miami trailed from the second quarter onward. The speedster, who now has a pair of 100-yard tallies in his last three games, is slated to get starting signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa back for a Week 7 Sunday night home matchup against the…read more

Logs full practice

Hill (foot) was a full practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Hill apparently isn't having any issues with the foot injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Jets. He should be out there this weekend against the Vikings, albeit with either Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) or Skylar Thompson playing quarterback while Tua Tagovailoa (knees) misses another game.

Could play Week 6

The Dolphins are optimistic that Hill (foot) will be able to suit up Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hill had to wear a walking boot after suffering a left foot injury during Miami's Week 5 loss to the Jets, but the team is hopeful he won't need to miss any time. Even if Hill is ready to go Sunday, the Dolphins are expected to be without top quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) for a second straight game, and No. 2 option Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) isn't a sure bet to be available either. Having Hill on the field would certainly be beneficial for third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson…read more

Dealing with left foot injury

Hill was spotted with a walking boot on his left foot following Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: The report indicates that the wideout said he's feeling fine at this stage, but Hill's status will nonetheless be worth monitoring in advance of next Sunday's game against the Vikings. At a minimum, look for his practice participation level to be limited to start the coming week.

Hurts foot Sunday

Hill exited Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury.

Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Hill caught all seven of his targets for 47 yards and ran twice for 13 yards. In his absence, Cedrick Wilson, Trent Sherfield and River Cracraft are candidates to log added snaps alongside fellow WR Jaylen Waddle.

Suits up Sunday

Hill (quad) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Analysis: As is Jaylen Waddle (groin), which sets the stage for Miami's top two wideouts to catch passes Sunday from Teddy Bridgewater, with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/back/ankle) sidelined. Barring any in-game setbacks, Hill -- who was limited at practice Thursday and Friday -- should continue to see enough Week 5 volume to maintain fantasy utility. Though his first four games with Miami, Hill has logged a 31/477/2 stat line on 43 targets.

Likely available for Week 5

Hill (quadriceps), who's listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hill popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a quadriceps injury and was listed as questionable for Week 5. However, the speedster, along with fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle, are both expected to be available for Teddy Bridgewater, who'll make his first start of the season in place of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Despite the optimism, fantasy mangers should still confirm Hill's status ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable for Week 5

Hill (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after logging a limited practice Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The same applies to Jaylen Waddle (groin), while Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald previously relayed via coach Mike McDaniel that the Dolphins are "hopeful" Hill will play this weekend. Fortunately for those relying on either of Miami's top wideouts in Week 5 fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Added to Week 5 injury report

Hill (quad) was listed as limited at practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: Hill's addition to Miami's injury report after practicing fully Wednesday makes his status worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Jets. Also limited Thursday was Jaylen Waddle (groin), which sets the stage for Friday's final injury report to provide added clarity with regard the health of the team's Week 5 wideout corps, which will be catching passes from Teddy Bridgewater with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/back/ankle) out this weekend.

Back over century mark in loss

Hill secured 10 of 14 targets for 160 yards and rushed once for minus-1 yard in the Dolphins' 27-15 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

Analysis: Hill generated game-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals in a resurgent performance after producing just a 2-33 line on four targets in Week 3 against the Bills. However, the head and neck injuries that knocked Tua Tagovailoa out of Thursday's game naturally could have an impact on the overall outlook for the air attack, although Hill and backup Teddy Bridgewater displayed good chemistry during their time together on the field, most prominently on a 64-yard pass in the latter…read more

Quiet in Week 3 win

Hill brought in two of four targets for 33 yards in the Dolphins' 21-19 win over the Bills on Sunday.

Analysis: Hill checked in second in receiving yards for the Dolphins on the afternoon, notable given his total was modest by any standard. The reception, yardage and target tallies were Hill's lowest in his brief Dolphins career, but he'll have a chance to quickly bounce back when Miami faces the Bengals in a Week 4 road matchup Thursday night.

Elite, gutsy performance in win

Hill secured 11 of 13 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 42-38 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He left the game temporarily in the second half due to cramping, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, but he returned soon thereafter and finished the game.

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. Hill showed off great chemistry with the 2020 first-round pick in a wild comeback win that featured 35 second-half points for Miami, 14 which came courtesy of Hill's 48- and 60-yard touchdown grabs in the fourth quarter that helped forge a 35-35 tie. Hill…read more

Big game in Miami debut

Hill caught eight of 12 targets for 94 yards and rushed once for six yards in Sunday's 20-7 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Hill racked up 100 scrimmage yards on the dot in his Dolphins debut. The offseason acquisition was Tua Tagovailoa's featured target, as Jaylen Waddle finished a distant second with five targets. Hill has the skills to remain in the WR1 conversation week in and week out, including in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Showcases big-play ability

Hill recorded two receptions on two targets for 64 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Eagles.

Analysis: Hill and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wasted no time showing off their connection, as Hill beat the secondary deep down the middle for a 51-yard gain on the first play of the game. One play later, he recorded a 13-yard catch. Though the production was meaningless Saturday, Hill should be in line for plenty of targets come the Dolphins' Week 1 matchup against New England.

Available to play Saturday

Hill is available to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Eagles, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: As is starting QB Tua Tagovailoa, but it remains to be seen how much work the duo will see Saturday. Once Week 1 rolls around, Hill is slated to see plenty of snaps and targets in Miami's offense alongside fellow WR Jaylen Waddle .

Held out as precaution

Hill was held out of Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas as a precaution, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis: Hill's went through pregame workouts and wasn't listed among the players not expected to play, but when he came back out to the field at game time he didn't have pads on under his uniform. With Jaylen Waddle (leg) also out, Miami started Cedrick Wilson and Trent Sherfield at wide receiver, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald.

Set to play with Tua on Saturday

Hill is expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against Las Vegas, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is unavailable, but the Dolphins seem to be playing most of their healthy starters, including Hill and QB Tua Tagovailoa.

Not in line to play Saturday

Hill isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game at Tampa Bay.

Analysis: The Dolphins are sitting the vast majority of their starters in the exhibition opener, with fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and running backs Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert taking a seat. With Hill and Waddle out, the team is rolling with Cedrick Wilson, Preston Williams and Trent Sherfield at wideout Saturday.

Thriving early in camp

Hill has found regular success during early training camp practices while operating alongside teammate Jaylen Waddle, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: Hill logged the highlight of training camp Day 2 by securing a 40-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa, but both he and Waddle have been regularly featured in offensive and team drills. Both wideouts are coming off seasons of over 100 catches and 1,000 yards and are now primed to form one of the most explosive receiver tandems in NFL history. As Wingfield notes, the impact of deploying both Hill and Waddle in coach Mike McDaniel's scheme should not only regularly produce big plays, but also open up…read more

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 28-year-old is coming off a 2021 season in which he racked up a career-high 111 catches (on 159 targets) for 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games. In Miami, Hill finds himself atop a depth chart that also…read more

Could be moved

The Chiefs granted Hill's agent permission to seek a trade Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Movement toward a contract extension reportedly has stalled, with both Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network suggesting Hill could now be traded to a team that's willing to pay him what he wants. The 28-year-old is under contract with the Chiefs for just one more season, and any new deal he might be able to land with another team will likely place him among the two or three highest-paid wide receivers in the league. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports the Dolphins and Jets are in talks with the…read more

Could land extension

The Chiefs and Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, have reportedly exchanged contract proposals this week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis: With Hill -- who is slated to count $20.685 million against the salary cap in 2022 -- approaching the final season of a three-year extension he signed in 2019, the two sides seem amenable to crafting a deal to keep the wideout in Kansas City for the long term. Moreover, the report notes that an extension for Hill would likely feature a structure aimed at lowering his cap hit this year, which would help the team's ability to bolster an offensive nucleus that currently also includes franchise QB…read more

Hill caught seven of 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime AFC Championship Game loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Hill was instrumental in Kansas City's hot start, as he scored the game's first points with a 10-yard touchdown, and the Chiefs went on to take a 21-3 lead. The speedy wideout came close to scoring a second touchdown on one of the game's pivotal plays, but he was stopped at Cincinnati's one-yard line as the first half expired. Shockingly, that ended up being Hill's final touch of the afternoon, as he was blanked in the second half and overtime. Patrick Mahomes' final pass of the season was a…read more

Scores 64-yard TD late in wild win

Hill caught 11 of 13 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-36 overtime win over the Bills. He added one rushing attempt for minus-2 yards and a 45-yard punt return.

Analysis: Hill was tackled by the opposing punter on his lone return of the game, saving a touchdown as the Chiefs ended up settling for a field goal. 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.

Logs full practice Wednesday

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.

Expected to be fine

Coach Andy Reid said Monday that the team expects Hill (heel) to be ready for Sunday's wild-card matchup against Pittsburgh, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hill dealt with heel soreness during Saturday's 28-24 win over the Broncos, but his limited role may have been precautionary. The Chiefs will monitor his status during practice ahead of the playoffs, but it appears as though the 27-year-old is on track to play Sunday.

Struggles through heel issue

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

Analysis: Hill played an extremely limited role in the game while dealing with a heel injury. However, his lone catch was impactful, as it resulted in a converted fourth down attempt on a drive that resulted in a field goal. After the contest, coach Andy Reid only stated that Hill has a sore heel, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. Meanwhile, teammate Mecole Hardman had a more optimistic view, stating that Hill was held out of the game primarily for precautionary reasons, as reported by James Palmer of…read more

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.

Comes off COVID-19 list

The Chiefs activated Hill (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Analysis: Hill was placed on the COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, but he's cleared league protocols and will be available to Kansas City's offense Sunday against the Steelers. As for tight end Travis Kelce (illness), he also was activated from the COVID-19 list but is listed as questionable ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Reportedly set to be cleared

Hill (illness) has reportedly been cleared to play Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: We'll await confirmation from the team, which would come in the form of Hill being officially activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list in advance of Saturday afternoon's transaction deadline. Meanwhile, Schefter adds that tight end Travis Kelce has not been cleared at this stage, but "still has a shot" for that to happen prior to Sunday's contest.

Tests positive for virus

Hill was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

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. Star tight end Travis Kelce also tested positive Monday, so quarterback Patrick Mahomes could be without his top two pass catchers in Week 16.

Headed for COVID-19 list

Kansas City plans to place Hill on the reserve/COVID-19 list later Tuesday, Adam Schefter and Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cornerback Rashad Fenton and tight end Blake Bell are also expected to go on the list Tuesday, joining six other players on the 53-man roster. At this stage, it's unknown whether Hill tested positive for the virus or if he was deemed a close contact of an infected person, but either way, he won't be a lock to be activated prior to Sunday's game against the Steelers. If neither Hill nor star tight end Travis Kelce -- who tested positive for the virus Monday -- is cleared to come off the list…read more

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's explosive outing included his first 100-yard effort since Week 4 and only…read more

Makes use of limited targets

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. Even given those factors, Hill beat the Raiders' defense for receptions of 38, 19 and 10 yards to account for the majority of his production. With the Chargers on tap in Week 15, Kansas City figures to be in a closer…read more

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.

Ineffective on 11 targets

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 Chiefs have seen relatively friendly pass defenses the last three weeks (Green Bay, the Giants and Tennessee), yet Mahomes has just two touchdowns in that span and in each game averaged less than 6.0 yards per pass. Clearly there are foundational issues facing the…read more

Fuels narrow victory

Hill caught 12 of 18 targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-17 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Hill was incorporated early and often, hauling in six passes during the first quarter, including a six-yard touchdown to cap Kansas City's second offensive drive. The speedster's long gain on the night was only 15 yards, but Hill still did ample damage through his bevy of looks underneath. In fact, he set new season highs in both receptions and targets, helping the Chiefs bounce back with a primetime victory. Next up for Hill is a matchup against a Packers defense without top cornerback Jaire…read more

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.

Active for Week 7

Hill (quadriceps) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hill didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he was able to work in a limited fashion Friday, setting the stage for Kansas City's top wideout to suit up versus Tennessee. In doing so, Hill has followed the same pattern he did leading up to Week 6 action, which resulted in him logging 47 of a possible 82 snaps on offense while catching nine of his 12 targets for 76 yards and a TD in his team's 31-13 win over Washington. In the absence of any in-game setbacks, Hill and TE Travis Kelce are…read more

Listed as questionable for Week 7

Hill (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Analysis: Though Hill didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, head coach Andy Reid said prior to Friday's session that the wideout is likely to suit up Week 7, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. With that in mind, fantasy managers should prepare to keep Hill in lineups this week, but his availability should still need to be confirmed when the Chiefs release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Back at practice Friday

Hill (quadriceps) returned to practice Friday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hill's return to the field after logging back-to-back absences Wednesday and Thursday bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game against the Titans. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether or not Kansas City's top wideout heads into the weekend carrying an injury designation.

Not practicing again

Hill (quadriceps) won't participate in Thursday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Analysis: Though he'll go down as a non-participant on the injury report for the second day in a row, Hill was at least present for Thursday's session, with Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star noting that the receiver jogged off to the side without a helmet during the portion that was available to the media. While the lack of activity in back-to-back practices is less than ideal, Hill followed the same pattern last week before ultimately suiting up in the Chiefs' 31-13 win over Washington and finishing…read more

Not practicing Wednesday

Hill (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: Hill headed into Week 6 action nursing the same injury, but was able to suit up this past Sunday against Washington. In the Chiefs' 31-13 victory, Hill logged 47 of a possible 82 snaps on offense while catching nine of his 12 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. Hill left the contest for a spell when his quad flared up, but he was able to return, which suggests that his absence from Wednesday's practice could be maintenance-related rather than indicative of a setback.

Scores fifth touchdown

Hill recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over Washington.

Analysis: Hill entered Sunday questionable with a quad injury, and it appeared that he had aggravated the issue when he exited the game in the first half. That limited him to only two receptions for 25 yards through two quarters, but he returned to the game and came alive to put up 51 yards on seven catches to close the game. He also chipped in his fifth touchdown of the season when he reached the end zone on a two-yard reception late in the third quarter. Hill has now commanded double-digit targets in…read more

Back in action Sunday

Hill (quad) has returned to Sunday's game against Washington, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Analysis: Hill was deemed questionable to return with the quad injury early in the second half, but he quickly rejoined the team on the sideline and is now back on the field. The 27-year-old struggled to find space during the first half with two receptions for 25 yards.

Exits with quad issue

Hill was removed from Sunday's game against Washington with a quad injury.

Analysis: Hill was questionable for Sunday's contest due to a quad injury and appears to have aggravated the issue during the first half, during which he caught two of four targets for 25 yards. However, the 27-year-old jogged out of the locker room shortly after halftime, per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, so he may be able to retake the field for the Chiefs.

Active for Week 6

Hill (quad) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Washington, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: After logging back-to-back DNPs Wednesday and Thursday, Hill returned to a limited practice Friday, setting the stage for him to be active Sunday. Barring any in-game setbacks, the playmaking wideout should continue to be a focal point of Kansas City's offense in Week 6. Five games into the 2021 season, Hill has recorded a team-high 37 catches (on 51 targets) for 516 yards and four TDs, as well as four carries for 45 yards.

Expected to play Sunday

Hill (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hill managed only one limited practice this season while tending to a bruised quad, but the injury doesn't look as though it'll prevent him from playing Sunday. Even so, fantasy managers will want to confirm he's suiting up when Kansas City releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Practices Friday, listed as questionable

Hill (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Analysis: In the wake of missing sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Hill was back on the field Friday, with coach Andy Reid noting that the Chiefs' top wideout was "bouncing around pretty good" in his return to practice, per Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star. Moreover, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports that Reid seemed optimistic about Hill's Week 6 status. Fortunately for those planning to use Hill in fantasy lineups this week, Kansas City kicks off against Washington at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Returns to practice Friday

Hill (quadriceps) was back on the practice field Friday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Initially, Hill was believed to be dealing with a knee injury in the wake of the Chiefs' Week 5 loss to the Bills, but Wednesday's practice report instead revealed a quad issue. Coach Andy Reid clarified that Hill had a contusion, which sidelined him for the first two sessions of Week 6 prep. Returning to practice is a good sign that Hill has a chance to play Sunday at Washington, and his status ultimately may receive some clarity later Friday.

Will miss another practice

Hill (quadriceps) won't practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Following back-to-back practice absences, what Hill is able to do during Friday's session will be telling with regard to his availability for Sunday's game against Washington. If Kansas City's top wideout is out this weekend, the Chiefs would have to get by with Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson, Byron Pringle and Josh Gordon as its primary options at receiver.

Doesn't practice Wednesday

Hill won't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps contusion, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hill was previously believed to be nursing a minor knee injury, but a different issue will keep the wideout off the field Wednesday. Either way, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Hill wasn't expected to miss time. Hill's return to practice Thursday in any capacity would no doubt support the notion that he'll be available for Sunday's game at Washington.

Not expected to miss time

Hill isn't expected to miss time after he sustained a minor knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Hill didn't appear to be limited while playing most of Sunday's game, but coach Andy Reid revealed after the loss that the receiver is nursing a knee issue. However, the 27-year-old will likely be available for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against Washington.

Hurts knee in loss

Hill suffered an unspecified knee injury in Sunday's loss to Buffalo, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. Hill had seven receptions on 13 targets for 63 yards and one carry for 15 yards in the loss.

Analysis: Hill was able to play well into the fourth quarter and didn't appear to be hurt, but head coach Andy Reid said after the game that Hill hurt his knee. The severity of the injury isn't clear, so check his status in practice ahead of next week's game against Washington.

Burns Eagles for trio of TDs

Hill caught 11 of 12 targets for 186 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 42-30 win over the Eagles.

Analysis: Hill came just short of the end zone on a 36-yard catch in the first quarter, as he hit the pylon with his arm before going out of bounds but the ball was in his other hand. He had no trouble crossing the plane as the game went on, scoring a six-yard touchdown on the very next possession before adding touchdowns of 12 and 44 yards in the fourth quarter. Hill has two 11-catch games north of 180 yards and two quiet performances through four weeks, and his immense ceiling will keep Kansas City's…read more

Another lackluster performance

Hill secured five of seven targets for 56 yards and rushed once for 11 yards in the Chiefs' 30-24 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Analysis: It was mostly a rough go of it for the superstar speedster for the second consecutive week, but Hill's final line at least was an improvement over the 29 total yards he garnered Week 2 against the Ravens. His fumble was costly as well, even though it came late in the first quarter, as it occurred at the Chargers' 14-yard line following an eight-yard catch and led to Los Angeles' first touchdown of the day. Hill will look to bounce back from his pair of duds when he and the Chiefs travel to…read more

Held in check by opponent

Hill had just three receptions (four targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Ravens. He added 15 yards on one carry.

Analysis: The Ravens came into this contest with a clear gameplan to stop Hill from beating them deep by constantly doubling the wideout, and they succeeded in that endeavor. They weren't able to stop Patrick Mahomes or the rest of Kansas City's receivers for the majority of the contest, but their plan ended up thwarting Hill's fantasy managers' plans of a repeat monster performance. The speedster will not be held in check like this every week so long as Mahomes is under center, so chalk this up to a…read more

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.

Scores on deep ball

Hill caught his only target for a 35-yard touchdown in Friday night's 28-25 preseason win over the Vikings.

Analysis: Hill sped past his man at the line and hauled in a deep shot from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to put the Chiefs ahead less than three minutes into the game. In doing so, the game-breaking wideout showed he's fully ready for the regular season, as he'll now turn his attention toward Week 1's matchup against the Browns.

Practicing Monday

Hill (hamstring) is slated to practice Monday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Analysis: Hill didn't play in Friday's preseason game versus the Cardinals, but at the time the wideout's absence was portrayed as precautionary. Hill's return to practice Monday underscores that notion, and while he's a candidate to sit out Kansas City's preseason finale along with other key skill players the speedster's Week 1 availability currently isn't in question.

Tending to hamstring issue

Hill didn't play in Friday's preseason win at Arizona due to a hamstring injury, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

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.

Looks good in return to practice

Hill (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Hill reportedly came back with a bang, catching a TD from Patrick Mahomes on his first target of practice. The speedy wideout initially was held out of Tuesday's practice with knee tendinitis, but it doesn't sound like any threat to his Week 1 availability.

Dealing with knee tendinitis

Hill missed Tuesday's practice with knee tendinitis, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hill put on pads for part of Tuesday's practice and lifted weights in a tent on the sideline. He's missed just six games through five NFL seasons, including two absences from meaningless Week 17 contests. It doesn't sound like the knee tendinitis is any major threat to his track record of durability.

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.

Takes field Wednesday

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. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether he was a limited or full practice participant.

Ruled out this week

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. Hill is expected to be good to go for Kansas City's playoff opener Jan. 16 or 17.

Absent from Thursday's practice

Hill (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

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

Sidelined at practice

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.

On track for Sunday

Hill (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The 26-year-old never appeared to be in serious danger of missing Sunday's contest, as coach Andy Reid previously indicated the wideout was expected to play despite being listed as questionable. Hill's availability will be officially known when Kansas City releases its list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable for Week 16

Hill (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Analysis: That said, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com believes that Hill's 'questionable' designation seems "more precautionary than anything," with coach Andy Reid having said that he expects the wideout -- who was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday -- to play in Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest.

Practices in limited capacity

Hill (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: The Chiefs didn't turn Hill loose completely for their second practice of the week, but his ability to participate on a limited basis was a welcome sign after he was held out of Wednesday's session entirely. So long as Hill can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons. The play-making wideout has failed to reach the end zone only once in his last eight games, racking up 896 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns over that…read more

Returns to practice

Hill (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Analysis: Kansas City's Thursday injury report will reveal Hill's level of participation, but the wideout's return -- in any capacity -- bodes well for his chances of being available for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Tending to hamstring injury

Hill didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

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 heads into the matchup with an NFL-best 17 touchdowns on the season.

Makes usual trip to end zone Sunday

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.

Pushes scrimmage TD total to 16

Hill caught three of seven targets for 79 yards and a touchdown while adding a 32-yard touchdown on his lone rushing attempt in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.

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. Overall, Hill has now caught 14 touchdowns and run in two more heading into the Chiefs' high-profile Week 15 trip to New…read more

Returns to full practice

Hill (illness) practiced fully Thursday.

Analysis: Hill missed practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19 illness, and his return to a full session Thursday clears the playmaking wideout to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins. As long as he's available on any given week, Hill -- who's scored 14 total TDs in 12 games this season -- remains a plug-and-play fantasy option.

Back on field Thursday

Hill (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Hill is setting himself up for no missed time with an appearance one day later. His activity level will become known when the Chiefs release their second Week 14 injury report later Thursday.

Dealing with illness

Hill didn't practice Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The star wideout's absence from practice is certainly noteworthy, but there hasn't yet been any indication that his availability for Week 14 is in serious jeopardy. Hill will have two more chances to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's road game against the Dolphins.

Posts 88 total yards in win

Hill caught six of 10 targets for 58 yards and rushed once for 30 more yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over Denver.

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. Despite their struggles, the Broncos actually boast one of the better secondaries in 2020, so Hill's containment may not have been a fluke. The Dolphins and their elite…read more

Flirts with franchise record in win

Hill secured 13 of 15 targets for 269 yards and three touchdowns in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

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. Hill's target haul was actually just his second highest of the season, and it marked the third…read more

Explodes for 11 catches

Hill had 11 receptions (14 targets) for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 win over Las Vegas.

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. Look for Kansas City's dynamic duo to potentially return to the…read more

Stars in high-scoring win

Hill secured nine of 18 targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 33-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also rushed once for eight yards.

Analysis: Hill drew a career-high number of targets in the wild win, and although he was only able to bring in half of them, his knack for the big play helped ensure a rewarding fantasy day. He was integral to Kansas City's comeback from a surprising 14-3 first-half deficit, notching his pair of scoring grabs (28 and two yards) in the fourth quarter. Hill's reception and receiving yardage tallies were both season highs, and he'll look to improve on them in a favorable Week 11 divisional matchup versus…read more

Two long TDs in blowout win

Hill caught four of six targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-9 win over the Jets.

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. Hill has seven receiving touchdowns and a rushing score through eight games heading into a Week 9 clash with the Panthers.

Nabs KC's lone receiving TD

Hill hauled in six of his 10 targets for 55 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 43-16 win against the Broncos.

Analysis: This outing was not one of Hill's 20-yards-per-catch performances, though he was the Chiefs' most impactful pass-catcher during Week 7. Not only did Hill corral Patrick Mahomes' only TD pass of the contest, but he also dominated the pass-catching workload with six more targets than any other player on the team. Hill had double the catches of the Chiefs' second-leading option, an encouraging development after he managed six combined receptions over his preceding two appearances against the…read more

Quiet in rainy game

Hill caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Monday's 26-17 win over the Bills. He also rushed once for five yards.

Analysis: Hill had comfortably his worst performance of this season amid a downpour in Buffalo. Those conditions slowed Kansas City's usual high-flying passing game, instead leading the Chiefs to rush for a season high on the ground. Without getting involved much, Hill failed to extend his five-game touchdown streak to start this season, but the speedster will look to bounce back in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Broncos, who surrendered 141 receiving yards and three touchdowns to Hill in two…read more

Long TD called back

Hill brought in three of six targets for 78 yards and rushed three times for 15 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 40-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Analysis: Hill still provided a solid stat line for fantasy managers thanks to his early second-quarter 10-yard touchdown run, but he could have had a much bigger day had his 58-yard touchdown grab on the third play of the game not been nullified by an offensive holding penalty. Hill has one score in each game thus far, however, and he'll look to keep that streak alive at the expense of the Bills in a Week 6 Monday evening road battle.

Continues TD streak

Hill caught four of six targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 26-10 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Hill scored Kansas City's first touchdown of the game by taking a misdirection shovel pass six yards into the end zone to close the third quarter. That play not only gave the Chiefs a needed lift following an uncharacteristically slow start, but also prolonged Hill's four-game touchdown streak to start this season. The speedster will aim to keep his strong stretch going Week 5 versus the Raiders.

Chiefs-Patriots game set for Monday

Hill and the Chiefs are currently slated to play the Patriots on Monday at 7:05 p.m. ET, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The game was initially scheduled for Sunday before being postponed after the Patriots' Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta'amu both tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday. Subsequent COVID-19 tests conducted for both teams have revealed no further positive test results, allowing the NFL to hold the game in Week 4 as planned, albeit a day later. Hill has been a model of consistency through the Chiefs' first three contests of 2020, recording exactly five receptions and…read more

Postponed contest at the moment

Hill and the Chiefs will not play their scheduled matchup Sunday against the Patriots after players from both teams tested positive for COVID-29. The NFL hopes to reschedule the game for Monday or Tuesday.

Analysis: It remains to be seen if the game will actually take place Monday or Tuesday, but should the game commence one of those two days it would constitute as a Week 4 result. Both teams have begun a rigorous set of testing to see if further players or staff were infected after it was reported Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad QB Jordan Ta'amu both tested positive for COVID-19.

Keeps scoring streak going

Hill caught five of six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens. He also rushed twice for 25 yards.

Analysis: Hill started the game by taking an end-around 22 yards on Kansas City's first offensive snap. The speedster subsequently made a catch of 33 yards, setting up his team's opening score, then got in the end zone himself with a 20-yard, over-the-shoulder reception in the second quarter. In doing so, Hill continued his touchdown streak, having scored in each of the first three weeks this season, and also topped 100 total yards for the second straight game. On the back of form like that, Hill should…read more

Catches crucial long touchdown

Hill caught five of 11 targets for 99 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Hill was held in check for most of the game but came through with a crucial 54-yard touchdown catch to help his team rally in the fourth quarter. Overall he finished second on the team in targets and scored for the second straight week while vastly improving his yardage output. Hill will face a tough matchup next Monday night against the Ravens, but his big-play ability and status as Patrick Mahomes' top wideout allow him a chance at big production every time he takes the field.

Finds end zone in win

Hill brought in five of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 34-20 win over the Texans on Thursday.

Analysis: Hill had a quiet night by his lofty standards, but the Chiefs passing game as a whole ceded some production to the spectacular exploits of rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Hill still rewarded fantasy managers by making a three-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter to essentially put the game out of reach, as his touchdown pushed Kansas City's lead to 30-7 at the time. Hill should naturally continue to enjoy a robust role in the game plan each week despite the presence of an…read more

Good to go for Week 1

Hill (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Chiefs' first injury report of Week 1.

Analysis: Hill picked up a minor hamstring strain Aug. 20 but returned to the practice field four days later. Now two weeks since that session, he took on every practice rep as the Chiefs begin preparation for Thursday's season opener versus the Texans, who conceded the 11th-most yards (166.5 per game) and eighth-most touchdowns (18) to wide receivers during the 2019 season.

Back on the field

Hill (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The report notes that Hill didn't participate in team drills, but the speedy wideout's participation, in any capacity, confirms that his hamstring issue wasn't a major one. Also on the field Monday was Sammy Watkins, marking the first time since early in camp that the duo has practiced together.

Should be back soon

Coach Andy Reid is downplaying Hill's hamstring injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. "It's not a big tear or anything like that," Reid noted after Hill missed practice Friday.

Analysis: In any case, Reid expects Hill back at practice within a few days and if that holds true, then the speedy pass-catcher will have plenty of time to ready himself for Kansas City's' Sept. 10 season-opener against the Texans.

Nursing minor strain

Hill is dealing with a minor hamstring strain, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Hill was forced to exit Thursday's practice early due to the issue, but it doesn't look as though his availability for Week 1 is in any sort of danger. If the Chiefs opt to take a cautious approach to Hill's recovery and hold him out of practices for an extended period, however, Sammy Watkins -- when healthy -- and Mecole Hardman would stand to benefit from increased first-team reps.

Suffers hamstring injury

Hill was forced out of Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Analysis: We'll consider the speedy wideout day-to-day for now and with Sammy Watkins tending to a groin strain, Mecole Hardman figures to see added practice reps/looks in the short-term

Still speeding along

Hill could be set for a career year as he heads into his 2020 contract season, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Hill proved he hasn't lost a step by taking down speedy teammate Mecole Hardman in a 40-yard dash race earlier in camp. A new contract on the horizon this offseason could serve as motivation for Hill, who finished out 2019 with 58 grabs for 860 yards and seven touchdowns over 12 games, to churn out one of the best of his career. He still has star quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the helm, so there's little reason to anticipate any drop-off from Cheetah, who checks in as one of the top fantasy…read more

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. Four plays later, Mahomes hit Travis Kelce with a one-yard touchdown toss that began the comeback in earnest. The big play aside, Hill…read more

Scores twice in win over Titans

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.

Just three catches, muffs punt

Hill caught three of four targets for 41 receiving yards and lost one fumble during Sunday's 51-31 divisional-round win against the Texans.

Analysis: The four-time Pro Bowler put his defense into a precarious situation late in the first quarter, muffing a Bryan Anger punt inside his own 10-yard line and setting up Houston for a touchdown two plays later to extend its lead to 21-0. Hill would later have to briefly exit the game after absorbing a hard hit from Texans safety Justin Reid, but he would return a drive later and finish out the contest. In addition to his 20-yard catch that helped the Chiefs tally a go-ahead TD shortly before the…read more

Goes deep against Chargers

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.

Moderate output in win

Hill reeled in all five of his targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over Chicago.

Analysis: The Chiefs led this contest comfortably wire-to-wire, so the offense didn't need to take too many downfield shots. This resulted in Hill tying his season low (in a full game) of five targets. 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. The Chiefs are still able to earn a first-round bye if the Patriots lose next week, so the team figures to play its starters despite having the…read more

Strikes twice in snow game

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
