JJ Zachariason cautions that adding Tyreek Hill off waivers this week may result in a delayed timeline before he becomes usable in fantasy lineups, despite acknowledging Hill's historical outlier status in the NFL and the Chiefs' potential need for his services if healthy.PositiveRoleSep 26, 2026
Hill is the only Miami wide receiver you can confidently play right now; the rest of the receiver room is unreliable.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Tyreek Hill's presence through week four limited Jalen Waddle's opportunity; from week five on without Hill, Waddle led the league in air yards, was targeted on 28% of his routes, and was fifth in yards per route run.NegativeRoleJul 3, 2026
Tyreek Hill's 2019 off-field legal matter—specifically a recorded conversation involving his child's mother and a broken arm allegation—was the catalyst that drew Drew Davenport, a practicing defense attorney, into fantasy football analysis. Davenport began analyzing the legal narratives around Hill's situation on Twitter with 90 followers, which led to his discovery by industry figures and eventual role at Football Guys. Additionally, the Miami offense was designed around getting the ball to Hill, which limited target allocation to other receivers like Jalen Waddle and contributed to Waddle's decline in Miami.NegativeBustNo date
JJ Zachariason has taken Tyreek Hill zero times in 92 Millie drafts. He views Hill as a poor investment post-injury because explosion is the core of his game and he's at the tail end of his career; the Tank Dell comparison suggests major injury recovery risk. Hill has fallen two rounds in ADP (26 picks since end of June) following reports that his leg isn't functioning properly. Zachariason advises against drafting Hill, noting there's a real chance of taking a zero with him, whereas round 15 offers more reliable alternatives.
