News: 5 days agoHill secured three of six targets for 24 yards and rushed once for 12 yards in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Spin: Four days after a tumultuous but ultimately successful first Sunday of the regular season, Hill and the entire Dolphins offense saw a drastic downturn Thursday. Hill was saddled by generally ineffective play on the part of Tua Tagovailoa, who tossed two first-half interceptions and a pick-six early in the third quarter and then exited the game late in the period with a concussion. Hill and Jaylen Waddle both took an early seat in the fourth quarter, and neither saw a target after Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa, but there will be ample time to build chemistry ahead of a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22 that Tagovailoa may not be available for.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hill enters his third season with the Dolphins after another exquisite season, in which he averaged 10.7 targets and 23.5 fantasy points per game. Hill was one of only eight players in the league who had at least 90 receptions and 1,200 receiving yards last season. Targets are among the most predictable year-to-year counting stats for wide receivers, and he remains the top option in a Dolphins offense that ranked second in passing yards in 2023, a trend that's expected to continue. Despite Hill entering his age-30 season, he should still be one of the first receivers selected in fantasy drafts.
