Tyreek Hill has flashed moments of his brilliance in his first season with Miami. His production took a hit with the Tua Tagovailoa injury, but then Hill went down with a foot injury during Week 5. The initial reports stated he might miss two to three weeks; however, he participated in practices leading up to Week 6’s matchup against the Vikings. Will fantasy managers have one of their top performers available to them this week? Here is the latest we have.

Tyreek Hill (quad/foot) good to go Sunday
Tyreek Hill has been officially cleared to play on Sunday against the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Hill was wearing a walking boot following last week’s loss to the Jets, but neither him nor the team seemed truly concerned about his Week 6 prospects. The “cheetah” has been able to log full practices all week and should be a fringe WR1 on Sunday, even with rookie Skylar Thompson under center.

What the Experts are Saying
Hill doesn’t carry an injury designation this week despite popping up with a quad and foot injury. He’s practiced in full all week. Hill is the WR4 in fantasy points per game with a 30.7% target share (sixth-best) and 35.0% target per route run rate (fifth). He’s fifth among wide receivers with nine deep targets. He’s second among wideouts in PFF receiving grade and yards per route run (minimum ten targets). He’ll run about 58% of his routes against Patrick Peterson (50% catch rate, 71.0 passer rating) and Cameron Dantzler (74.2% catch rate, 110.7 passer rating). Hill remains a low-end WR1 despite Thompson playing this week.
