Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about this latest injury to Tyreek Hill (wrist).
The Dolphins have had a rocky season. While their starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has returned to action, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill ($7,400) has been dealing with a wrist injury that has limited him in practice. Hill played through this injury in Week 10 vs. the Rams, but wasn’t a dominating factor on offense, or really a factor at all. Hill was limited in practice on Thursday, but practiced in full on Friday and currently does not carry an injury designation for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders.
Should we consider putting Hill in our lineups knowing he is dealing with a wrist injury? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke it down on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- To Steve, it sounds like Hill needs surgery to fix a ligament in his wrist; however, Hill wants to play through it as of now. Last week, Hill only ran 27 routes and was targeted just four times. Meghan and Steve both believe Hill could be used as decoy.
- The Raiders defense has been solid against perimeter receivers, despite their own offensive struggles—top that with the fact that Hill is the fourth-most expensive receiver on this slate and has a blatant injury, and Steve is easily staying away from the Cheetah.

- If we’re fading Hill, who else is a good play for the Dolphins offense? Jonnu Smith ($3,800)!
- The tight end’s stock has gone up without his DraftKings Daily Fantasy salary going up. The Raiders are allowing an average of 15.6 DKFP to opposing tight ends, which is the fourth-most in the league.
- Meghan thinks Smith could be a good option to stream due to Tua Tagovailoa’s efficiency when throwing in the short (0-9 air yards), which is where Smith could thrive.
