Tyreek Hill DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) was limited during Thursday's practice, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Hill was not on Wednesday's injury report, so this situation is worth monitoring. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the 30-year-old's participation during Friday's practice, as he may carry an injury designation into the weekend. Since scoring 26 PPR points in the opening week, Hill has been in a slump while quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been sidelined. During this stretch, Hill has averaged just 32.8 yards per game. However, with Tagovailoa expected to return this weekend, Hill should be viewed as a high-end WR1 if he is able to suit up.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught 1-of-2 targets for eight yards in the team's 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He added five rushing yards on his only attempt. Ouch. It's an enormous letdown in a promising matchup for Hill, with Miami coming off a bye in Week 6. The 30-year-old had quarterback troubles again on Sunday when Tyler Huntley (shoulder) left the game and was ruled out in the second half. Tim Boyle entered in relief, but the Dolphins went with a run-heavy game script, attempting just 26 passes to 40 rushes. The ground game was working in their defense, but Hill and wideout Jaylen Waddle combined for just four targets, two catches, and 19 yards. With QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) set to practice ahead of Week 8, the team could see its arrow pointing up in anticipation of a home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is set to line up against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 7 matchup. Hill and the other Dolphins' skill players have largely been a disappointment since losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in their Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, in his last time out before Miami's bye, he put together his best performance since Week 1, hauling in 6-of-10 targets for 69 yards. It's modest output -; and not very Cheetah-esque -; but he'll have another opportunity to put up strong numbers against a sieve-like Colts defense. Indianapolis is averaging 234.3 yards through the air per game to opposing passing attacks and the fifth-most yards per attempt (6.9). While fantasy managers must keep expectations in check, this is as good a matchup as any to fire up the 30-year-old. Hill is RotoBaller's WR22 in Week 7's rankings.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill hauled in 6-of-9 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over their division-rival New England Patriots. It was a decent bounce-back effort for the 30-year-old, who posted his first double-digit fantasy outing since Week 1. It wasn't a world-beating performance, but fantasy managers who stuck with him must be encouraged at least a little. Quarterback Tyler Huntley appeared to be much more competent in his second start, and Hill's targets, receptions, and yards all led the team. His big play of the day was a 21-yard catch on 1st-and-18 with Miami pinned back deep in their own territory after a holding call. That drive would eventually culminate in the Dolphins' second touchdown since Week 2 -- a 3-yard rush by fullback Alec Ingold. With the team heading into their Week 6 bye, Huntley will have an extended time frame to build more rapport and chemistry with Hill and the other Miami skill players. The long-time Chief will now have a week of rest before an enticing Week 7 matchup against a Swiss cheese-like Indianapolis Colts defense that just got torched for 37 points by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has a juicy matchup lined up this Sunday when his team hits the road to square off against their division-rival New England Patriots. The veteran speedster has seen his production dip over the last few outings since a massive seven-catch, 130-yard performance in the team's season opener. Not only has Hill had his offensive woes with quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Skylar Thompson (ribs) shelved due to injury. Also, Miami has faced three top-six defenses regarding net passing yards per play since then. Everything is working against the 30-year-old wideout, but he'll have an opportunity to get right against a New England defense that has been beaten by the pass all season. Touchdowns might be tough to come by, with the Pats allowing 21.8 points per outing, but the 1,016 passing yards they've let up are the sixth-most in the NFL. Hill is the WR28 this week in RotoBaller's Week 5 PPR rankings, with as good a chance as any to bounce back before Miami's Week 6 bye.
