Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is just the WR39 in full-PPR scoring after nine weeks of NFL action. He's shaping into one of the biggest busts of this year's fantasy drafts. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, he was essentially a ghost in the stat sheets when his starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, wasn't playing.
But even when his QB1 has played, he's been shockingly quiet, aside from an 80-yard touchdown on a busted coverage against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's played through a few injuries, which could be part of the issue. But he just hasn't looked like the uber-explosive burner he was even a year ago.
He's also now listed on the injury report. So, will he play on Sunday Night Football tonight?

Tyreek Hill Fantasy Football Injury Update
UPDATE: Hill is officially ACTIVE
Unfortunately, Hill is truly a game-time decision for tonight's game against the Los Angeles Rams. While many on social media like to say that any players designated as "Questionable" are "absolutely playing," that's not always the case. An example is Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins.
Despite the Tyreek Hill Injury talk…
He’s on the plane with the Miami Dolphins team and on his way to Los Angeles to face the Rams.
“It’s about to go down” according to his Snapchat story.

When the team announces that a player is a game-time decision, you should trust them. Hill suffered this injury before the season -- during training camp in a joint practice with the Washington Commanders.

He traveled with the team to Los Angeles, but apparently, Miami may not know until warmups if he will play.
Tyreek Hill Fantasy Football Injury Impact
It's a pretty significant blow to the offense if he doesn't play. The targets he would normally receive will probably mainly be diverted to second-string wideout Jaylen Waddle, which would boost his fantasy stock significantly. He's been another big bust of a fantasy football draft pick this season.

He still has elite speed, he just hasn't had the opportunities he saw in 2022 to be an elite fantasy option. He thrived off making huge plays by burning everyone with his speed to pick up big yards after the catch. He's still a good player -- he just needs more opportunities and the right kind of opportunities.
As if he needs any more work, running back De'Von Achane, who's essentially served as the team's WR2 and produced like its WR1, will probably get more targets if Hill can't go. He's already getting seven to eight catches per game when Tagovailoa plays, which is absolutely absurd. His fantasy value is astronomical and could get even higher.
