Amidst rumblings of where the recently released Tyreek Hill could find his next home, Andy Reid of the Chiefs gave no indications of pursuit
Tyreek Hill, who starred with the Kansas City Chiefs for six seasons from 2016-2021, was released this week by the Miami Dolphins as they embark upon what appears to be a drastic overhaul of their roster. Speculation has run rampant as to where Hill may play in 2026, with the most popular destination among fans and media alike pointing directly to his old stomping grounds in Kansas City.
Hill started out catching passes from Alex Smith in KC before the transition to all-world quarterback Patrick Mahomes in 2018. During his time with the Chiefs, Hill was named to the Pro Bowl every season, earned All-Pro honors three times, and played in two Super Bowls, winning one in 2020. The Georgia native amassed 479 catches for 6,630 yards while carrying a 13.8 average per reception and adding 62 all-purpose touchdowns.
Injuries have been tracking the 31-year-old in the last two seasons. In 2024, he battled painful wrist and knee injuries and did not look like himself. Then, in Week 4 of 2025, a devastating knee dislocation with multiple torn tendons (including the ACL) forced him out for the rest of the season.
That seemed to be the impetus of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid this week when asked on Friday about the possibility of a reunion with the wideout. “I don’t even know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything. I’m sure he’s working hard on that part of it and trying to get all that straightened out… we know what you know.”
Fantasy lowdown: Suffice it to say, if Hill completes his rehab and is ‘ready to go,’ Kansas City could be the first in line for his services. Hollywood Brown is set to turn 29 before the season and is headed to free agency. Xavier Worthy suffered a significant regression in 2025. Travis Kelce is not getting younger, and Rashee Rice is back in the midst of legal troubles. Every indication is that Mahomes will be ready to start the season, but he may have a new-look arsenal.

The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran wide receiver ...
The Miami Dolphins have announced Monday, they are releasing super star wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
The Tyreek Hill era in Miami is officially over. The Miami Dolphins have released the eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver as part of a major roster overhaul this offseason, the team announced Monday. The move clears significant salary cap space, roughly $22.8 million and marks the first time in his career that Hill will hit free agency.
Hill, who missed much of the 2025 season while recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL, has been a cornerstone of the Dolphins offense since arriving in a trade back in 2022. With his future health still uncertain, Miami opted to part ways as it reshapes the roster under new leadership.
Now an unrestricted free agent for the first time, the 32-year-old star’s next destination is sure to be one of the top storylines of the offseason, provided he can return to full strength.

The Dolphins cap issues and inner dissension may force an exit for Tyreek Hill in 2026.
With the Dolphins almost $30 million over the salary cap in 2026, they will need to be creative with their contracts. One candidate that comes to mind is Tyreek Hill.
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that Hill will make a good cut candidate prior to the middle of March which would trigger a drop in his 2026 cap hit from $51.9 million to $28.2 million. This makes sense from both a financial and team chemistry standpoint. Hill voiced plenty of displeasure last offseason and finished no better than the WR18 in the 4 games played prior to a season ending knee injury. Until further clarity on both fronts, it is wise to avoid Tyreek Hill in dynasty formats.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle led all Miami Dolphins pass catchers on Thursday Night Football.
Jaylen Waddle continued to assert himself as the top pass catching threat for the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. Waddle led the team with six catches for eighty-two yards but failed to find the endzone for the third time in four games.
Waddle has become the Dolphins de facto wide receiver one in the absence of Tyreek Hill. Miami has struggled this season but Waddle is averaging 14.4 yards per reception and is on pace to match his career high in touchdown receptions (8).
There is plenty of turmoil surrounding the Dolphins right now and this loss to the Baltimore Ravens won’t help but as long as Waddle remains the undisputed top option in their passing attack he can be counted on as a wide receiver two for fantasy managers.

Dolphins star wideout Tyreek Hill to undergo season ending surgery for a torn ACL and multiple ligaments.
Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill is set to miss the rest of the 2025 season with a torn ACL and several other torn ligaments in his knee. The Dolphins will be without their top target which will require other talent to step up.
The logical expectation is that receiver Jaylen Waddle will take over the reins as the top target in the offense along with De’Von Achane who is a receiving threat out of the backfield. Of note, Darren Waller had a productive night versus the Jets with a 3-28-2 receiving line. Malik Washington figures to gain snap share from the slot as well.
Waddle has scored 13.2 fantasy points per game which ranks 24th. He is in line to become a higher end WR2 in fantasy football. Achane’s 25% target share is No.2 and will most assuredly go up which will help him return top-5 RB value the rest of the season.

Miami’s WR duo score but offense continues to struggle
Miami faced off against Buffalo in an AFC East clash for Thursday night football. In a game where the Bills were heavy favorites, the Dolphins were able to trade blows and keep the game close for much of the night. The Dolphins went into the half tied after an impressive 16-play drive ending with a Waddle TD. They then started the 4th with a Hill TD to tie the game again. Unfortunately, due to a penalty and then a turnover, Miami saw its record fall to 0-3.
Although both Waddle and Hill found the end zone, the offense struggled to move the ball through the air, and neither receiver was able to break 50 yards. The creative, explosive Miami offense from a couple of years ago seems to have disappeared. Hill and Waddle are in the boom or bust territory and becoming heavily touchdown dependent. After two decent fantasy outings, this may be the time to sell high on the Miami receivers.
