Tyreek Hill was a distressed asset in Miami the second their season ended. He shredded his knee on September 29, and with the Dolphins clearly in the midst of organizational change, his spot on this roster was going to be tenuous at best.
With him now available for any team to scoop, should dynasty fantasy football managers be more interested in his stock in the short term than they were?
Tyreek Hill Dynasty Fantasy Football Value After Dolphins Release
On the surface, the Tyreek Hill profile is an easy sell. He’s entering his age-32 season, coming off of a crippling lower-body injury, and now at the mercy of whatever team wants to roll the dice on him.
After consecutive seasons as the top overall receiver in our PFSN NFL WR Impact grading metric, Hill checked in as WR35 in 2024 before not playing enough to qualify this past season.
Hill’s Past Five PFSN NFL WR Impact Grades
- 2019: 86.3 (sixth best)
- 2020: 87.4 (sixth best)
- 2021: 83.6 (10th best)
- 2022: 91.4 (best)
- 2023: 99.6 (best for that season and in our database)
- 2024: 78.9 (35th)
Was the rapid decline a product of the situation he found himself in or the age curve for a 5-foot-10 receiver that has always relied on rare physical gifts?
Naturally, the answer is likely somewhere in the middle.
Why Hill’s 2024 Production Fell Off
Tua Tagovailoa had the Dolphins ranking 20th in yards per pass and 23rd in touchdown rate back in 2024, limitations that made fantasy production tough to come by.
They were bottom-10 in deep YPA and deep pass TD%, flaws that directly hindered the upside of Hill, giving him less of a chance to salvage an otherwise poor day with one of his patented splash receptions that would be run on highlight loops for the week.

But again, there is a chicken-and-egg component to this. Hill’s ability to earn red zone targets fell off of a cliff after the big 2023, and the version of him we saw in 2025 was pacing for the worst season of his career in terms of YAC, nearly a full yard lower than his 2024 rate, his previous career low.
Because he was released from his contract, Tyreek Hill becomes a free agent and is immediately eligible to sign with another team.
While it’s unclear when Hill intends to find a new home, he does not have to wait until March 13th like free agents to be on expiring deals.

Just how much juice there is to squeeze out of this profile remains to be seen. We don’t yet have a definitive timeline on his recovery process, and landing spot always plays a big part in fickle evaluations like this.
Potential Landing Spots for Hill
As part of the Jauan Jennings discussion, I listed the teams that got the least from the WR position a season ago, and that feels applicable here as well.
Fewest Receiving Yards From WR in 2025
- Cleveland Browns: 1,467 yards (46.5% of their receiving yards)
- New York Jets: 1,586 yards (57% of their receiving yards)
- Las Vegas Raiders: 1,696 yards (51.2% of their receiving yards)
- Pittsburgh Steelers: 1,716 yards (47.2% of their receiving yards)
- Atlanta Falcons: 1,811 yards (48.9% of their receiving yards)
- Tennessee Titans: 1,823 yards (56.2% of their receiving yards)
- Miami Dolphins: 1,870 yards (56.3% of their receiving yards)
Are any of those teams in play for a band-aid option like Hill that won’t be a part of the rebuilding process? Could all of them have some level of interest to drum up some short-term excitement while they try to build something more sustainable?
We will see.
Where Hill Ranks in Dynasty Fantasy Football
As things stand right now, you’d almost have to give Hill to me for me to be interested in a dynasty sense. Jalen Coker and Chimere Dike lack proof of concept when it comes to being viable sources of consistent production, but both have some buy-in from their organizations and, in theory, a quarterback that could be in town for a while.
Calvin Ridley is in a similar boat as Hill, a veteran receiver who has seen signs of decline and is coming off of an injury-shortened season. The Titans do have him under contract for two more years if they want to use him as a growth mechanism for Cam Ward.
For me, Hill slots behind a piece like Travis Hunter, a player we know very little about. He’s rumored to be a primarily defensive option for this upcoming season, but the unknown of the future is enough to elevate him ahead of Hill in these leagues that reward you for playing the long game.

If we get reports this summer that Hill is “in the best shape of his life,” maybe I reconsider my position and bump him inside my top 50 at the position, using the “if you’re in a position to win a title this year” clause as something to reach for.
That said, this is a deep position that is getting deeper. Where the preps land will impact this, but barring a surprise, it looks like four of the top five dynasty assets coming out of the 2026 NFL Draft will be receivers, further knocking Hill down the ranks.
This is a big name with bigger issues. Rolling the dice can be justified in a very specific situation and price tag, but you need to tread carefully and understand that he is to be viewed as a bonus add, not someone that you should be putting real expectations on.
