Tyreek Hill

Tyreek Hill is being released by the Miami Dolphins. The move saves the team $22 million in cap space, and Hill will become an unrestricted free agent.

Hill is still recovering from a brutal knee injury, and even at age 32, he should find some suitors if he still desires to play. He could be a sneaky value in fantasy drafts in 2026 because of all this. As for Miami, they will move forward with Jaylen Waddle as their clear No.1 option, and will likely add some depth via free agency and the draft with the rest of their receiving room not showing much promise.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald believes the Dolphins “almost assuredly” will release Tyreek Hill before mid-March.

Hill is set to make $29.9 million next season, but none of that money is guaranteed until mid-March. If he is released prior to that deadline, his 2026 cap hit would drop from $51.9 million to $28.2 million. Coming off a major knee injury in Week 4 this past season, he should still draw some interest as a free agent.

Tyreek Hill underwent successful surgery on Tuesday and is aiming to be ready for the start of next season.

Hill only had to go through one procedure which was a positive sign given what happened in Monday's game against the Jets. Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said "the goal is for Tyreek to be ready for the start of next season.”

Tyreek Hill (knee) suffered multiple ligament tears, including an ACL tear, when he dislocated his knee in the Dolphins win over the Jets on Monday. He will have surgery today and is out for the season.

Hill was just starting to get things going like his old self the past several weeks and now he is gone. Fantasy managers will look to make things work in their lineups with Hill out. As for Miami, Darren Waller could emerge as a primary target behind Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane, and Malik Washington is another sleeper name fantasy players should be aware of.

Tyreek Hill was carted off the field from Monday's game against the Jets.

It was a gruesome injury that required the cart to immediately come out. There will be updates provided on the status of Hill when available.
