Recovering from wrist surgery
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Hill is recovering from left wrist surgery he underwent to address a ligament issue, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill was listed on the injury report for much of the 2024 campaign with a 'wrist' designation, which helps on some level to explain his decline in production. He delivered an 81-959-6 receiving line across 17 regular-season games, a notable decrease after he'd exceeded 1,700 receiving yards in each of the prior two years. The veteran wideout pulled himself from Miami's finale against the Jets in Week 18, saying "I'm out," but he recently reframed those comments as mere frustration, saying "I…read more

Still committed to Miami?
Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday that the wideout is still "committed to this Dolphin football team" despite his saying "I'm out" after Miami's loss to the Jets in Week 18, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Rosenhaus said Hill "had an excellent meeting with [general manager] Chris Grier and [head coach] Mike McDaniel," after he appeared to remove himself from the Dolphins' regular-season finale early, playing just 40 percent of offensive snaps. Across 17 regular-season games in 2024, Hill compiled just a 81-959-6 receiving line on 123 targets, his first time failing to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark since 2019. He remains under contract with Miami through the 2026 campaign, but after saying "it was…read more

Just two catches in season finale
Hill (wrist/illness) caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Hill finished a disappointing season on a sour note, with the star receiver falling just short of 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since an injury-shortened 2019 season. The 30-year-old was listed as questionable heading into the finale while nursing both an elbow injury and an illness and missing all of the team's practices leading up to Sunday's loss. According to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Hill sat out the entire fourth quarter and was non-committal regarding his future in…read more

Active for Sunday's game
Hill (wrist/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: Hill, who has been managing a wrist issue, was sidelined for Friday's practice due to an illness, before being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed for Miami's must-win regular-season finale, Hill will have a chance to maintain the chemistry that he built with QB Tyler Huntley (who is starting once again in place of Tua Tagovailoa/hip) during the team's Week 17 win over the Browns, when he caught all nine of his targets for 105 yards.

Questionable after Friday's DNP
Hill (wrist/illness) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill has been no stranger to the injury report in the second half of the season, though it's a bit worrisome that he was unable to practice at all just one day after being a full participant Thursday. The star wide receiver likely will do all he can to play Sunday because the Dolphins can make the playoffs with a win and a Denver loss to Kansas City. Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is listed as doubtful, but Hill showed good chemistry with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in the Week 17 win over the…read more

Logs full practice Thursday
Hill (wrist/rest) was a full practice participant Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday while he continues to manage a wrist issue, but his full participation Thursday paves the way for him to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. The star wideout is likely to be on the receiving end of passes from Tyler Huntley, who appears to be trending toward a second straight start in place of Tua Tagovailoa (hip).

Limited in practice Wednesday
Hill (wrist/rest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill's limitations were presumably maintenance-related, as he's dealt with the wrist issue for much of the season without missing a game. In the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Browns, Hill played 88 percent of the snaps on offensive and finished with a 9-105-0 receiving line on nine targets. He was working with Tyler Huntley as his quarterback in that game, and head coach Mike McDaniel suggested that Huntley is trending toward a second straight start in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the…read more

Efficient route to century mark
Hill (wrist) corralled all nine of his targets for 105 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Hill showed no ill effects from his lingering wrist injury en route to his third game of the campaign recording 100 or more receiving yards in Sunday's casual victory. The speed demon used his sure hands to nick and cut the opposition to a strong fantasy line on his most efficient showing to date in 2024. Hill will be geared up for a crucial regular-season finale against the Jets next Sunday as Miami fights for its playoff life.

Active versus Browns
Hill (wrist) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Hill was listed as limited on all three of Miami's practice reports this week, before heading into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation. He'll be available Sunday, unlike fellow starting wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee), but with Tyler Huntley on track to start at QB for Miami in place of Tua Tagovailoa (hip), expectations should be tempered for Hill and the team's other available key pass catchers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday versus the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hill is dealing with a lingering wrist injury that kept him sidelined during practice Wednesday. He logged a full session Thursday before downgrading to limited activity Friday, resulting in him taking a designation into the weekend. Though all signs point to Hill suiting up Sunday as Miami looks to keep its playoff hopes alive, the wideout won't be formally cleared until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sits out Wednesday's practice
Hill was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to rest and a wrist issue.
Analysis: Hill has been playing through the wrist injury for several weeks, so his absence from Wednesday's practice is most likely maintenance-related.

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

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

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

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

Analysis: Hill was a limited participant Wednesday, but his ability to take every rep a day later indicates that his lingering wrist issue won't prevent him from playing this Sunday against the Patriots. In the Dolphins' first matchup of the season with the Patriots back in Week 5, Hill produced a 6-69-0 receiving line on 10 targets, though he was working with Tyler Huntley (shoulder) as his quarterback in that contest rather than Tua Tagovailoa.

Hill secured seven of eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill set the pace for the Dolphins in receptions and tied with Jonnu Smith for the team lead in targets, scoring a touchdown on an eight-yard grab with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter as well. Hill has eclipsed 60 receiving yards in three of Tua Tagovailoa's first four games back from an IR stint due to a concussion, but the veteran speedster is still in search of his first 100-yard game since Week 1 as the Dolphins prepare to face off with the Patriots at home in Week 12.

Analysis: After being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Hill was limited Thursday before being able to cap his practice week with a full session. The Dolphins' starting wideout thus is slated to continue to play through his wrist issue, just as he did in Monday night's 23-15 win over the Rams, when he logged an 87 percent snap share en route to catching three of his four targets for 16 yards and a touchdown and rushing twice for 11 yards.

Slated to play Monday
Hill (wrist) is in line to be active Monday night against the Rams, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hill was listed as questionable for the contest after not practicing Friday or Saturday, but Pelissero notes that the wideout's pregame workout went well, and he's now slated to face the Rams. Official confirmation of Hill's Week 10 status is set to arrive when Miami's inactives are posted ahead of Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Looks like game-time call for Week 10
Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable and appears to be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with the Rams, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Hill received a designation for the Week 10 contest after he was listed as a non-participant in practices Friday and Saturday. Though Hill first injured the wrist in training camp and has been playing through the issue over the Dolphins' first eight games of the season, he reportedly tweaked the wrist again this week.

Questionable for Monday
Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hill's availability for Monday's contest appears to be up in the air after his wrist injury prevented him from practicing Friday and Saturday. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, head coach Mike McDaniel declined to offer a firm word on Hill's Week 10 status earlier Saturday, merely noting that the receiver "will do everything possible to play, but we'll see." Fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on reports pertaining to Hill leading up to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Added to injury report
Hill didn't practice Friday due to a wrist injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill practiced fully Thursday, so his addition to the Dolphins' Week 10 injury report is noteworthy. Look for added context regarding his status for Monday night's game against the Rams to arrive no later than Saturday afternoon once Miami's final injury report of the week is posted. In the team's Week 9 loss to the Bills, Hill caught four of his five targets for 80 yards, while recording a 97 percent snap share.

Team-high 80 receiving yards
Hill caught four of five targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Hill had just one catch for six yards in the first half but wound up leading the Dolphins with 80 receiving yards. He got 55 of those yards in the third quarter, when Hill made a nice 28-yard catch along the sideline to set up a go-ahead field goal and added a 27-yard catch over the middle. Hill had at least 82 receiving yards in 11 of 16 appearances during his outstanding 2023 regular season, but he hasn't reached that threshold since a 130-yard receiving performance in Week 1.

Ready for Week 9
Hill (rest/foot) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Buffalo, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session for rest purposes, Hill was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report with his lingering foot issue. Logging a full practice to end Week 9 prep has paved the way for him to be available. In Tua Tagovailoa's return to action this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Hill burst back onto the scene with six catches (on nine targets) for 72 yards.

Limited in Thursday's practice
Hill was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a foot injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: On the Dolphins' first Week 9 injury report issued Wednesday, Hill's absence from practice was attributed to rest, but a day later, the team is citing a lingering foot injury as the reason behind the wideout's reps being capped. Assuming Hill's limitations Thursday were maintenance-related and not the result of him aggravating the lingering foot issue during practice, he should be fine to handle a full snap load in this Sunday's game in Buffalo. However, whether or not Hill carries a…read more

Hill (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins added Hill to their injury report last Thursday and listed him as questionable for Sunday's eventual loss to the Cardinals. He ended up suiting up and played 88 percent of snaps in the contest while leading the team in targets (nine) and receiving yards (72). A return to practice Thursday and/or Friday would put Hill on track to play again this Sunday at Buffalo.

Six catches in Tua's return
Hill (foot) caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Hill's 69 first-half receiving yards matched his highest full-game total during the four games Tua Tagovailoa missed due to a concussion. After starting hot with Tagovailoa back in tow, Hill added only three yards in the second half, likely due in part to the effects of a foot injury that had the speedster listed as questionable heading into Sunday's loss. Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards last season, but Tua's return seems unlikely to precipitate that level of production from Hill…read more

In line to suit up Sunday
Hill (foot) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against Arizona, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hill has dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and did not practice Friday after logging a limited session Thursday. Despite the end-of-week reduction in participation, the wideout looks like he'll be ready to take on the Cardinals on Sunday. Hill sunk to a season-low one catch for eight yards last week against the Colts, but his outlook is much improved with Sunday's return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who missed Weeks 3 through 7 while recovering from a concussion.

Analysis: Hill was added to the Dolphins' Week 8 injury report after being limited at practice Thursday and then was held out of Friday's session prior to being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. That said, head coach Mike McDaniel noted earlier in the day that he's optimistic Hill will play this weekend, and if he does, the wideout's fantasy prospects should be boosted by the looming return of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).

Nearly invisible in Week 7 loss
Hill caught one of two targets for eight yards and gained five rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Neither Tyler Huntley (shoulder) nor Tim Boyle has any success looking for their wide receivers on the afternoon, giving Hill few opportunities to make an impact. The speedster has topped 1,700 receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, the first player in NFL history to do so, but the Dolphins' QB woes have eliminated any chance of a repeat for Hill.

Analysis: Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, demonstrating improved chemistry with Tyler Huntley in his second game playing with the quarterback. The three components of the speedster's receiving line all qualified as his second-highest totals of the season, and Hill also narrowly missed recording his second touchdown of the campaign on a near catch in the left corner of the end zone on which he just missed coming down with two feet inbounds.

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

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

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

Kevin Dotson of CNN.com reports that the Miami-Dade Police Department placed an officer on administrative leave and has begun an internal investigation related to Sunday's incident.

As such, even if Hill is listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, fantasy managers can still consider him to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's road matchup at Baltimore.

Held out of practice to rest
Hill (ankle/rest) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The addition of 'veteran rest' next to Hill's name on the injury report essentially confirms he didn't suffer any setbacks with his sprained ankle during a 22-20 win over the Cowboys on Sunday. He missed the Week 15 win over the Jets but then caught nine of 14 targets for 99 yards in his return to the lineup against Dallas. Hill should be all set for his usual role Sunday against Baltimore, whereas running mate Jaylen Waddle (ankle) looks to be more in danger of missing the pivotal Week 17 game.

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

Suiting up Sunday
Hill (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Hill, who was inactive for Miami's 30-0 Week 15 win over the Jets, was deemed questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday. With the star wideout's active status confirmed, Hill is in line to step back into his high-volume role in the Dolphins' passing attack Sunday, in the absence of any in-game setbacks or limitations. In the 13 games he's played in this season, Hill has racked up 97 catches (on 132 targets) for a league-high 1,542 yards and 12…read more

Trending in positive direction
Hill (ankle) who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, is trending toward playing, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter notes the Dolphins want to see how Hill feels when he reports to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday as opposed to specifying how he'll feel following a pre-game workout, which lends some credence to the notion the superstar wideout will be available for the Week 16 matchup. The fact that Hill also participated in practices Thursday and Friday certainly reinforces the notion that he'll suit up, but fantasy managers should still check back in for confirmation on his status when Miami releases…read more

Questionable for Week 16
Hill (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys after he was a limited participant in practices Thursday and Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill, who was inactive for Miami's Week 15 win over the Jets, didn't practice Wednesday, but he's trending in the right direction after getting back on the field in some capacity for the last two days of Week 16 prep. Per Wingfield, head coach Mike McDaniel noted earlier Friday that Hill hasn't had any setbacks, while adding that he feels good about the star wideout's chances of being available for Sunday's game.

Limited in return to practice
Hill (ankle) was a limited participant Thursday in his return to practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins listed Hill as questionable last week even though he didn't practice, and he ultimately missed a 30-0 win over the Jets. His return Thursday suggests he's got a much better shot to play this Sunday against the Cowboys, though it still seems more likely than not that Hill will be listed as questionable on the final injury report Friday.

Hill (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Hill, who was inactive for the Dolphins' Week 15 win over the Jets, didn't practice Wednesday, but the star wideout's return to the field one day later has him trending toward a potential return to action Sunday against the Cowboys. Even after missing last week's game, Hill still holds a 228-yard lead over the Eagles' A.J. Brown for the NFL's receiving crown.

Not practicing, but team optimistic
Hill (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, but head coach Mike McDaniel downplayed the receiver's absence, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. "It's more us trying to make sure that we have all cylinders go," McDaniel said of Hill's status as Sunday's game against the Cowboys approaches.
Analysis: Hill missed last week's 30-0 win over the Jets after aggravating his ankle injury in the preceding game, but he tested the ankle out in warmups, which suggests he was close to playing. McDaniel noted that Hill could return to practice in the coming days, and if the star wideout is able to take full reps by Friday, he might even head into Sunday's game without an injury designation.

Game-time decision incoming
The Dolphins intend to allow Hill (ankle) to make his own decision on his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Such a call won't be made until Hill goes through a pregame workout Sunday, after which Miami will post its list of inactives approximately 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With 1,542 receiving yards on his 2023 ledger so far and four games remaining in the regular season, he's in sight of the first 2,000-yard campaign in NFL history, but he's also tending to an ankle injury that he sustained in Monday's loss to the Titans.

Questionable for Sunday
Hill (ankle) won't practice Friday and is slated to be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald and Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site report.
Analysis: Hill thus will finish the week with three consecutive listed DNPs, which clouds the star wideout's Week 15 status. Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday with regard to Hill's potential availability that "if he's confident he can be himself and I have the support of the trainers, he will play.

Analysis: Following Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans, the Dolphins have yet to hold an actual practice session this week, but the team's injury reports indicate that Hill would have been a spectator for both Wednesday and Thursday.

Hill (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Hill sat out the Dolphins' opening practice in both of the past two weeks due the same injury, but those absences looked to be mainly for maintenance-related reasons. Though he's once again opening the week of practice as a non-participant, Hill's health appears to be more of a question mark heading into Sunday's game against the Jets after he struggled to move past the ankle issue during Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.

Day-to-day, iffy for Week 15
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Hill (ankle) is considered day-to-day, and the receiver's availability for Sunday's game against the Jets has yet to be determined, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. "A little early to be that confident either way [for Week 15]," McDaniel said of Hill's status. "It was a painful ankle. Until he flat out tells me there's no doubt he's going to play, you always have to plan for everything."
Analysis: Though mid-game visits to the locker room or the injury tent on the sideline haven't been out of the ordinary for Hill this season, the wideout struggled to bounce back from the ankle injury he suffered in the first quarter of Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans. After sustaining the injury while being tackled as he was making his way out of bounds, Hill missed the entire second quarter before checking back into the game for the second drive of the third quarter. Hill ended the night having…read more

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

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

He subsequently tested out his ankle before the Dolphins announced that the star wideout was questionable to return to the contest.

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

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

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

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

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

Analysis: Hill's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Dolphins on the day, while his catch tally was his lowest through four games. The speedster was also the intended target on an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt early in the third quarter that would have brought Miami within nine, adding to the disappointment of the blowout loss. Hill naturally has the ability to quickly put the lackluster numbers behind him, and he should have a good chance of doing so in a favorable Week 5 matchup…read more

Stellar performance in blowout
Hill secured nine of 11 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 70-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Hill paced the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets with Jaylen Waddle (concussion) sidelined for the contest, and his personal game-long 54-yard grab went for a first-quarter touchdown. Like the rest of Miami's front-line skill-position players, Hill's day ended early in the record-setting blowout victory, but he's scored at least once in each of the first three games of the campaign and heads into a Week 4 road showdown against the Bills with a spectacular 25-412-4 line on 35…read more

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Based on his observation of the session, Sweeney suggested that Hill looks good to go for the postseason opener.

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

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

Analysis: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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