Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is being investigated on assault and battery allegations for an incident at a Miami Beach marina over the weekend. According to insider Andy Slater, Hill allegedly slapped an employee of the marina on the back of the head during an argument. That employee has declined to press charges at this time. We'll keep you updated on the situation. For now, we're not moving Hill in the 2023 WR Rankings -- but it's not crazy to pass on him in the first five or six picks of fantasy drafts if you want to avoid any suspension risk.
UPDATE: The employee has decided to press charges. We'll continue to monitor this story for developments.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill said in a recent radio appearance that he plans on retiring after the 2025 season. Hill will be 31 at that point. "I'm going for 10 [seasons], man," Hill said. "I'm gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then I'm gonna call it quits. I want to go into the business side." Plans can change, of course -- especially if Hill is still healthy and playing at a high level a few years down the road. But this is certainly worth filing away for dynasty players.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill injured an ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Hill returned for the start of the 2nd half.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle used an 84-yard TD to power a 5-143-1 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Packers. He and WR Tyreek Hill tied for the team lead with 6 targets apiece. Hill caught 4 balls for 103, including a 52-yard reception. It's Waddle's 2nd straight game over 100 yards, but there's some luck involved in delivering plays of 67+ in each contest. Waddle posted a nice catch rate against Green Bay but had caught just 42.3% of targets over the previous 4 games. His QB has struggled over the past 4 weeks relative to previous performance. Both wideouts will be in fantasy football lineups in most cases for a Week 17 trip to New England, in spite of QB Tua Tagovailoa's recent performance.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill drew 13 targets and caught 9 balls in Saturday night's loss to the Bills. That constituted 43.3% of Miami pass attempts and 53% of the receptions. He tallied 69 yards and a TD.
The forecast for tonight's Dolphins-Bills game calls for temperatures in the mid-20s and potentially heavy snow. If there's good news, it's that winds are expected to be manageable: 5-10 mph sustained with gusts of 10-15 mph. These are still less-than-ideal conditions for the passing and kicking games, though. We've made some adjustments to our projections for this game. Check out the updated rankings.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) isn’t listed on the final injury report. He was full-go in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and will be ready for his usual role vs. the Bills on Saturday night.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) was upgraded to full participation in Wednesday's practice. He'll be ready to rock for Saturday night's game vs. the Bills.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) was limited in Tuesday's practice. He got a bit banged up in Sunday night's loss to the Chargers but was able to play through it. Hill should be fine for Saturday night's game vs. the Bills.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill finished Week 14 with 4 catches (10 targets), 81 yards and 1 TD. Hill added a fumble return score on one of the wildest plays you’ll see this season. Credit Hill for playing through an ankle issue, one we'll need to keep an eye on this week at practice. On the receiving score, Hill beat his man downfield for a 57-yarder. That proved huge, as Tua Tagovailoa played his worst game of the season, at one point completing only 3 of 17 attempts. That type of output seriously limited the upside of Jaylen Waddle, who totaled only 2-31 on 4 targets. He’s now totaled 3-40 over the past 2 weeks. This unit will look to rebound Saturday night against a tough Bills defense. A major turnaround in that one is unlikely.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill hurt his left ankle at the end of the 1st half in tonight's game against the Chargers. He is questionable to return.
Update: Hill did return for the 1st possession of the 2nd half.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill finished Week 12 with 6 grabs for 85 yards. Jaylen Waddle led the team in targets, but the margin was slim (10 vs. 9 for Hill). Both guys took advantage of a Texans secondary minus top CB Derek Stingley. Hill did miss some time with cramping, but fantasy owners should be pleased with the result nevertheless. He’s now up to 87-1,233-4 in 11 games. Next up is a road matchup at San Francisco.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill led the team with a 26.6% target share in Week 9. As a result, he posted another monster fantasy line: 7 catches, 143 yards and 1 score. Hill continues to create separation with ease. And it’s hard to see a dud creeping up here, as a hyper-accurate Tua Tagovailoa continuously feeds his playmakers. Jaylen Waddle contributed 5-85-1, giving him 85+ yards in 4 straight. Both guys are top-5 PPR WRs entering a Week 10 date with Cleveland.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill put up another monster line in Week 8 against Detroit, this time slashing 12/188/0. Hill saw 14 targets — a 38.8% target share. Tua Tagovailoa again delivered some underthrown deep balls, but Hill continued to make the necessary adjustments. The former Chief is now on pace for over 2,000 receiving yards over a full season. He'll face the Bears in Week 9.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa returned Sunday night for his 1st game action since the scary concussion at Cincinnati in Week 4. He completed 21 of 35 passes in the win over the Steelers for 261 yards and 1 TD. Tagovailoa took nary a sack, avoided turnovers and even ran for 15 yards on 4 rushes. WR Tyreek Hill led the offense with 13 targets and 7 catches (for 72 yards), while WR Jaylen Waddle paced the group with 88 yards (on 5 targets, 4 receptions). TE Mike Gesicki drew 7 targets for the 2nd straight game but managed just 3 catches for 27 yards. The whole group gets a high-ceiling matchup at Detroit in Week 8, with solid-to-good spots the next 2 weeks as well vs. Chicago and Cleveland.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill went off for 12 catches and 177 yards in Week 6. Starting QB Skylar Thompson left the game in the 1st half due to injury, putting Teddy Bridgewater back on the field. But it simply didn’t matter for Hill, whose speed overwhelmed the Minnesota secondary. He’s now posted 3 games of 10+ catches as a Dolphin. Week 7 (vs. Pittsburgh) should bring the return of Tua Tagovailoa.
Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill (quad, foot) and Jaylen Waddle (groin) were full participants in practice all week and are not listed on the final injury report. Both guys should be ready for full-time roles vs. the Vikings on Sunday, although QB Skylar Thompson adds volatility to the situation.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (quad, foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It means he'll be good to go for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. The concern, of course, is that it'll be 7th-round rookie Skylar Thompson under center.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he plans to start QB Skylar Thompson vs. the Vikings this weekend. McDaniel said QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be inactive for that one. QB Teddy Bridgewater has a chance to clear concussion protocol by Sunday but would back up Thompson in that case. Thompson is a 7th-round rookie out of Kansas State, where he posted a 62% completion rate and 8.0 yards per attempt across 5 seasons. Thompson had an impressive preseason, ranking 15th among 77 QBs in Pro Football Focus' passing grades. He went 19-of-33 (58%) for 166 yards (5.0 YPA), 0 TDs and 1 INT in relief of Bridgewater vs. the Jets last week. Thompson is just a low-end QB2 for Week 6 and should be considered a downgrade for Miami's skill-position guys.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Dolphins are "optimistic" WR Tyreek Hill (foot) will play vs. the Vikings on Sunday. Hill left last week's loss to the Jets in a walking boot, but it sounds like that was mostly precautionary. We'll get Miami's 1st practice report of the week this afternoon.
