Latest dynasty outlook on Tyreek Hill

By: Jake Rajala

The Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel filtered the wide receivers by speed on Madden in the fantasy draft and then decided to make his idea come to fruition. McDaniel aggressively sought out the fastest wide receiver in the NFL in Tyreek Hill and then brought him to Miami.

Hill is ecstatic to join Jaylen Waddle, Tua Tagovailoa, and DeVante Parker in Florida. With that said, what is the true “dynasty” outlook of Hill? Well, I believe he has a bright outlook, to say the least.

Hill was a rockstar in Kansas City in each season and he was really involved in 2021. He registered a career-high 159 targets last season. Travis Kelce managed to receive 134 targets, but it didn’t stop Hill from being the top magnet for Patrick Mahomes.

Jaylen Waddle had 140 targets in his direction with Tua last season, so he was clearly a big weapon for the Dolphins offense last season. Hill managed to receive an insane amount of targets with Kelce being fed because Mahomes had the third-most passing attempts last season. Meanwhile, Tua (388) had fewer passing attempts than David Mills (394) in 2021.

I expect McDaniel to put more steam on the Dolphins passing engine moving forward. I also expect DeVante Parker to be slightly phased out (or traded) in 2022. With that said, the biggest positive for Hill is that he should really be top WR1 by a noticeable margin next season. McDaniel knew Hill was worth the compensation and salary from the WR spot because he knew that he could brew a lot of special plays for his new toy.

Deebo Samuel was fifth in receiving yards last season, but he also averaged 18.2 YPC. I know Andy Reid is an old sage, but I really expect McDaniel to have a very good idea of how to make Hill special for his second straight season.

The NFL world witnessed Zac Taylor and Brandon Staley surprise the NFL with their creative offenses last season. I expect the ambitious McDaniel to give Hill a lot of screens, quick slants, and deep shots down the field. Hill made the All-Pro team as a special teamer, so it’s clear he’s utterly gifted with the football in his hands. I believe there’s a slightly overrated idea that he needs Patrick Mahomes to be an elite WR.

According to FTN Daily, Hill had an ADOT of 10.36 last season and it may drop a bit, but he should really still have a plethora of targets in the middle of the field. Tua is one of the most accurate QBs in the league and that will certainly help Hill.

I believe Hill will be a monster for the Dolphins. I think the Hill trade will have more magnitude than the Amari Cooper exchange and Hill is truly a Top 7 dynasty WR headed into the 2022 season. I also expect the ballsy McDaniel to find a way to improve the QB spot in 2023 if the Dolphins whole offense isn’t firing off all cylinders next season. With that enunciated, I still expect Hill to be fed the pigskin well with a quality Tua or an average Tua. Hill should be worth multiple early, first-round picks right now.
