The Miami Dolphins will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Tyreek Hill.
Is Tyreek Hill Playing in Week 17?
Hill continues to play through torn ligaments in his wrist. He was limited on Wednesday’s estimated practice report but is not in any jeopardy of missing this week’s game.
We’ll continue to monitor the Dolphins’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tyreek Hill in Week 17?
Hill hasn’t had a catch gaining more than 30 yards since Week 1 and has caught just five of 14 targets over the past two weeks after pulling in 10 of his 14 looks against the Jets in Week 14. We spent a first-round pick on him this summer, hoping for groundbreaking games — we aren’t even getting flashes of it these days.
The short touchdown last week was nice, a little sprint out that seems close to uncoverable if the defense isn’t 100% willing to sell out, and gives him five in his past seven games, but that’s allowing him to stay afloat for fantasy managers instead of dominate.
I doubt you have three receivers I’d rather play, but I suppose it’s not impossible. In theory, this is as good a spot as any to break out – the Browns have intercepted deep passes at the second-lowest rate this season, so why not try?
You’re playing Hill, even if it’s not as comfortable as we had hoped. There aren’t expected to be any weather issues, so I’ll refrain from spamming you with “Tua in the cold” numbers. I’ve already bet this game to go over the total; if I cash that ticket, I feel good about the position of all fantasy teams with Hill exposure.
