"Hill is eyeing a rebound campaign following what was undoubtedly the most disappointing season of his career. Granted, he wasn't fully healthy, but Hill appeared in all 17 games and still managed to see a massive dip in targets, catches, yardage, TDs and fantasy points, compared to his first two seasons in Miami. Hill finished 31st among WRs in fantasy PPG after ranking no lower than 11th the prior seven seasons. It didn't help that Tua Tagovailoa missed six games (Hill averaged 9.0 PPG in those weeks), but he wasn't his usual, elite self even with Tagovailoa (14.9 PPG). Hill was the No. 2 fantasy WR three of four seasons before the 2024 dud, so a potential rebound season is worth factoring in, but it's not a lock as he enters his age-31 campaign. He's safest as a WR2 with upside."


"Hill is slated to undergo surgery Tuesday, and based on the severity of his injury, the wideout is facing a lengthy recovery process that could extend into the start of the 2026 season. In the looming absence of Hill, Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are candidates to see added snaps at receiver alongside new No. 1 wideout Jaylen Waddle, while running back De'Von Achane and tight end Darren Waller could also be in line for expanded pass-game roles. In addition to his surgery Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that Hill could require additional procedures to address the extensive damage to his knee. The 31-year-old is under contract at a non-guaranteed salary of $29.9 million for 2026, though $11 million will become fully guaranteed if he remains on the roster by the third day of the new league year in March."

"To make room for the signing, safety DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Thompkins was elevated twice this season, once for Week 6 against the Bills and last Sunday against the Jets. The wide receiver played just nine offensive snaps between the two outings, catching both of his targets for 23 total yards. Like Hellams, the 25-year-old Thompkins is primarily a special teams player and will likely fill that role for Sunday's game against the Seahawks."

"Westbrook-Ikhine signed with the Dolphins after spending his first five seasons in Tennessee. The 2020 UDFA has settled in as a reliable situational receiver and spot starter, having posted a target share in the 11-12% range four years in a row. Though he was limited to 60 targets last season, Westbrook-Ikhine broke math by scoring nine TDs on 32 catches. Eight of the scores game in an eight game stretch in which he caught just 20 passes and his WR-best 15.0% TD rate is obviously nowhere close to sustainable. The 28-year-old will battle for No. 3 WR duties behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He should only be added to your roster in deep leagues if Hill or Waddle miss time."


"Westbrook-Ikhine joined forces with the Dolphins via a two-year, $6.5 million contract back in March, a deal that will go under the radar as one of the worst signings of the 2025 offseason. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Westbrook-Ikhine secured just 10 of 20 targets for 89 scoreless yards, a notable downturn after he had surpassed 350 receiving yards in four prior seasons with the Titans, including a 32-497-9 receiving line in 2024. The Dolphins have an "out" in Westbrook-Ikhine's contract this offseason for only $1.6 million in dead cap."
