The Miami Dolphins will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 13. 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 13?
Tyreek Hill is still battling a wrist injury and was limited for the Miami Dolphins’ Monday walkthrough. Hill was downgraded to DNP on Tuesday, but that was due to personal reasons.
Hill is in no danger of missing Thursday’s game. He fully practiced on Wednesday, and the Dolphins formally removed him from their injury report. Hill will not carry a designation into Week 13.
The Dolphins don’t appear to have any long-term concerns about Hill’s wrist issue. He was considered a game-time decision for Week 10 but ultimately suited up. Hill has been limited for certain practice sessions since but hasn’t missed any game action.
Despite Tua Tagovailoa returning under center in Week 8, Hill still hasn’t managed an explosive fantasy performance. He’s been a top-25 receiver just once (Week 11) since Tua re-entered the lineup.

Should You Start or Sit Tyreek Hill in Week 13?
That 80-yard touchdown that Tyreek Hill scored in Week 1 feels like a lifetime ago. That was the last time Miami’s WR1 had a catch that gained more than 30 yards, a drought that I would have told you was close to impossible if you prompted me in August.
But here we are. Now what?
I think we are OK and let me tell you why. During Miami’s three-game win streak, they’ve brought Hill closer to the line of scrimmage. His aDOT in those games is down 44.7% from the first nine weeks. While some people would sweat that and read it as a ceiling suppressant, I don’t mind it given the rest-of-season schedule.
- Thursday at Green Bay Packers: 23rd in YAC prevention
- Week 14 vs. New York Jets: fifth
- Week 15 at Houston Texans: 27th
- Week 16 vs. San Francisco 49ers: 18th
- Week 17 at Cleveland Browns: 30th
If the ‘Fins are going to make a point of getting the ball in Hill’s hands on shallow routes as opposed to running him vertically, these teams (with the exception of the Jets) are going to have to tackle well above their current metrics to stop him from putting up some big numbers.
I’m hanging in there. At the minimum, I think we see Hill post his third top-25 finish of the season. We saw last week that Miami is more than happy to pick at a weakness if it’s working (Jonnu Smith and Jaylen Waddle combined for a 50% target share last week against the Patriots).
