Perhaps the most difficult wide receiver in the NFL for an opposing player to guard is Miami Dolphins megastar, Tyreek Hill.
After coming to the Dolphins this past offseason in a trade with the Chiefs, he changed the dynamics of not only his own team but of the entire AFC. Defensive coaches have been forced to find new and creative ways to prevent the most elusive playmaker in football from breaking games wide open. However, Hill hit a speed bump in Week 18 after suffering an ankle injury and his availability moving forward is in question.
This leaves fantasy managers wondering about their elite receiver. Will he play in the Wild Card round with his injury? Let's examine this further.

Tyreek Hill Injury Updates for Fantasy Football
Tyreek Hill Injury News
The Dolphins' wideout had his worst fantasy outing of the season in Week 18, catching only two balls for 23 yards in the team's 11-6 victory over the Jets. His underwhelming stat line though was primarily due to injury.
It appeared the speedy receiver rolled his ankle while running a deep route in the second quarter of Sunday's game. He was in and out of the contest, and his production was heavily compromised.
It was an afternoon to forget for Hill, as he battled an ailing ankle while also struggling to find a rhythm with the team's third-string quarterback, Skylar Thompson.
Is Tyreek Hill Injured Or Playing in the Wild Card Round?
As the Dolphins prepare for their first-round playoff matchup with the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, they are also monitoring the status of their best offensive weapon. It's early in the week so much is still unknown, but it's hard to imagine the man known as "cheetah" won't be active come game time.
The versatile 2016 fifth-round draft pick makes his living with his speed and playmaking abilities, and a severely injured ankle would certainly compromise his skill set. The good news is, Hill has a history of nagging foot and ankle injuries, and each time, he has usually battled through.
The Dolphins have a huge challenge this Sunday as they face the No. 2 seed Buffalo Bills, and will need the speedster if they have any chance to pull off an upset. If you're counting on Hill to help your fantasy team win in the Wild Card round, cross your fingers, monitor the practice reports, and hope Number 10 is at 100% at 1 pm on Sunday.
