The Dolphins might not know Tyreek Hill’s Week 10 availability until just before kickoff on Monday. We break down fantasy football replacement options if the injury keeps Hill out of the lineup.
The Miami Dolphins face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football to close out Week 10, and it’s unclear if wide receiver Tyreek Hill will play.
Hill is dealing with a wrist injury that he suffered during the preseason and aggravated this week. He did not appear on the team’s first injury report on Thursday, but then was a DNP on Friday and Saturday before getting a questionable designation.
When will I know if Tyreek Hill is playing?
NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport reported on Monday morning that Hill is a “true game-time decision.” The team’s will announce their inactives at 6:45 p.m. ET ahead of the 8:15 p.m. kickoff. If Hill is inactive, you’ll need to find new options. But it’s possible he is active and ends either a decoy who doesn’t get many looks, or he plays and aggravates the injury again.
Who should I consider off waivers in place of Tyreek Hill for Week 10?
If you’re stuck on Monday night, you likely are scrambling for players on waivers. That means you’re looking for players rostered in a limited number of leagues. Looking through ESPN fantasy projections, below are the Dolphins and Rams non-QB skill position players rostered in fewer than 50% of fantasy leagues that have accrued any stats this season.
Jonnu Smith or Demarcus Robinson are the highest floors of this group. Odell Beckham, Jr. has arguably the highest ceiling. He’s in the twilight of his NFL career, but if Hill doesn’t play on Monday, I can guarantee you some folks will jump on OBJ with a hope and a prayer.
