Should You Start or Sit Tyreek Hill in Week 4?
We got a vintage Tyreek Hill route on the short touchdown against the Dolphins on Thursday night where his speed in those tight windows can put the corner in a blender.
For a minute there, everything looked how it was supposed to. Hill ran the shifty pattern, and Tua Tagovailoa put the ball right where it needed to be, perfectly on schedule. There was a toe-tap third-down play that followed the same pattern in the game as well, so it’s not as if all hope is lost, but I’m not exactly encouraged.
Hill caught just one pass in the second half on Thursday, and that is where the problem lies. The quality of target is a real concern these days, and the deeper down the field those looks come, the less confident I get.
The speed is still there, and we see glimpses of it, but he’s come down with just three deep passes (20+ air yards) this season, and the highlight of that collection was a play in Week 2 where Tagovailoa appeared to be trying to throw a 21-pound football and came up well short of the desired placement.
He missed by enough that Hill was able to work his way back and make the play for a 47-yard gain, but it was far from a clean effort and nowhere near what we’ve seen from this offense in the past. The tandem took a shot against the Bills, but the timing was off, and the pass sailed high without much real threat.
Hill is the downfield threat in this offense, that much is clear with an aDOT that is nearly double that of Jaylen Waddle. That’s valuable, but it comes with more risk, especially when the opponent is familiar with this system and has an ace corner.
I prefer the high catch rate that we get access to with Waddle in this specific spot, but both are going to be in that WR3 range for me on a weekly basis moving forward, and I don’t see that changing.
If past trends are of interest to you, in Hill’s last four games against the Jets, he’s failed to reach five PPR points twice and cleared 25 PPR points in the other two instances. This is an all-or-nothing spot, something we are going to have to get used to.
