The Miami Dolphins will face the Houston Texans in Week 15. 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 15?
Tyreek Hill has been dealing with a torn ligament in his wrist for most of the season. He’s committed to playing through it and will continue to do so.
However, his practice reps will be managed. He was limited on Wednesday but upgraded to full on Thursday. He will be good to go this Sunday.
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 15?
Hill has touched the ball in the red zone in five straight games, has cleared fantasy expectations by at least 10% in four of those contests, and has seen 23 targets in his past two games.
The Cheetah has scored in four of five games and seems to be operating at full strength, something the Dolphins need in the worst way as they cling to their postseason hopes. The Texans are coming off of their bye, but I’m not sure that if you gave this defense a month of time to prepare for a positive-trending Miami offense it would matter.
Slot usage with Tua Tagovailoa (2024)
- Tyreek Hill: 89 routes, 26 targets, and two TDs
- Jaylen Waddle: 92 routes, 15 targets, and zero TDs
Houston allows the fifth-most yards per slot pass attempt this season (8.6) and the fifth-lowest opponent average depth of target when viewing their pass defense as a whole. In four of five games during this 4-1 run for the Dolphins, Hill has posted a single-digit average depth of target — could this be the week-winning, DFS-slate-shifting Hill performance on the fast track?
I’m not going to give away all of the goods, but I have him and Nico Collins as a chalky DFS stack this week — I’ll round the edges of this lineup with value plays elsewhere.
