Tyreek Hill Gets a Downgrade at QB But Could Propel Miami to the Elite Ranks

In what has been an absolutely wild offseason, the Dolphins kept the party going by trading a bevy of picks in return for Tyreek Hill. Shawn Siegele examined how the Chiefs’ offense might operate going forward, and I get to tackle the fun side with Hill.

For real life football, this is a questionable use of draft capital and salary by Miami. Hill is 28 years old, and it’s unlikely that the Dolphins will be serious Super Bowl contenders any time soon. However, optimal roster building in real life and fantasy football are different things, making it important to separate the two.

Hill had huge chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, receiving a 24% target share on a 12.5 aDOT (average depth of target) since 2018. Mahomes became the full-time starter that season and it led to some monster yardage numbers.

Make no bones about it, Hill’s combination of elite air yardage (110.9 per game), the ability to convert those yards to actual yards (74% RACR), and a phenomenal 0.7 touchdowns per game will be supremely difficult to replicate in Miami. On the other hand, targets are earned and Hill has a special ability for making huge plays in any situation.
