Tyreek Hill enters the 2025 NFL season with plenty of uncertainty. After a tumultuous offseason marked by public frustration with the organization and trade speculation, Hill now faces additional concerns with an oblique strain.
What’s the latest on Hill’s injury, and is the Miami Dolphins wide receiver at risk of missing Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts?
What Is Tyreek Hill’s Injury?
It’s been a rough offseason for Hill as he tries to repair his relationship with the Dolphins after saying he was done with the team out of frustration.
Recently, he’s been dealing with an oblique strain that caused him to sit out practices. Fortunately, he returned to practice this week, and head coach Mike McDaniel has that he will likely suit up against the Colts.
The bigger concern for Dolphins fans and fantasy managers is Hill’s strained relationship with Tua Tagovailoa, a potential drop-off in production at 31 years old, and the fact that Jaylen Waddle could take over the WR1 role.
Hill’s Fantasy Football Outlook in Week 1
This has been a noisy offseason for Hill. He’s been the topic of trade speculation, has volunteered play-calling advice, and missed some reps with a nagging injury.
It hasn’t been clean, but when they put the ball in play, with a healthy Tagovailoa on a fast track against a shaky defense, you really don’t have a decision to make.
Here are the career instances in which Hill has been on the field for most of his team’s offensive snaps in the season opener.
- 2024: 7 catches for 130 yards and a TD (26 PPR points)
- 2023: 11 catches for 215 yards and 2 TD (44.5)
- 2022: 8 catches for 94 yards (18.0)
- 2021: 11 catches for 197 yards (37.1)
- 2020: 5 catches for 46 yards and a TD (15.6)
- 2018: 7 catches for 169 yards and 2 TD (42.3)
- 2017: 7 catches for 133 yards and a TD (26.8)
If you drafted Hill this summer, you’re taking the optimistic approach. We could be dealing with some serious confirmation bias, given a vintage performance in this spot.
