Should You Start or Sit Tyreek Hill in Week 2?
What in the world are we supposed to do here?
The scary part is that I’m not sure Tyreek Hill would feel confident in starting Tyreek Hill these days, and that’s a position that almost requires blind confidence.
In addition to just the vibes being sideways in South Beach, Hill wasn’t really put in a position to succeed last week, and that was against an occasionally vulnerable Colts defense. He averaged a near unfathomable 1.3 yards after the catch per reception in Week 1 (career rate: 4.8), something that calls into question a ton of things.
Is he washed?
Is this offense using him properly?
Has the shine of this system completely worn off?
I wish I had an answer for you.
I have him hovering around WR30 for the week, and I’m not inclined to move off of that. Jakobi Meyers has averaged 9.4 targets and 15.9 PPR points per game since Davante Adams was traded and offers an elevated floor: how can I reasonably rank Hill ahead of a profile like that?
If you paid up for him and feel obligated to start him, I get it. I’m a man of the people and can share with you that he’s played four games against the Patriots where Tua Tagovailoa was under center:
- 16.9 PPR PPG
- 6 end zone targets
- 29% target rate
Repeat those rates, and we are looking at a WR2 with ease. But are those past numbers viable any more? I need a few more data points to dismiss all previous production completely, but my patience is wearing thin, and I imagine you’re in the same boat.
