Tyreek Hill's season is over.
A dislocated knee with multiple torn ligaments has reportedly sent the Miami Dolphins' star wide receiver to the sideline for the rest of the 2025 campaign.
The only saving grace for the Dolphins on the field is that they won Monday night anyway to improve to 1-3 and provide a little bit of hope moving forward.
For fantasy football managers, though, this just became quite tricky.
Hill was a weekly starter, but unless you're in a keeper league, he can be dropped now.
The new No. 1 WR, Jaylen Waddle, probably becomes an every-week starter unless the Miami offense proves inept without Hill.

Most fantasy managers wouldn't have been starting Tua Tagovailoa except in a 2-QB league, but this drops him down a notch. The lack of Hill's explosion likely reduces the possibility of big plays.
The two names that will garner intrigue on the waiver wire are Darren Waller and Malik Washington.
Waller, at an overall weak tight end position, is definitely worth a snag. He caught two touchdowns on Monday and could remain a red zone weapon. If things break the right way, he could be a borderline top-10 TE the rest of the season.
Washington is a speculative FLEX add, especially for anyone dropping Hill. He's got the explosiveness, which he showed on a punt return TD a couple weeks ago.
The Dolphins also involve Washington in a variety of ways, like his two run plays on Monday night in addition to his two catches.
Washington is probably a boom-or-bust type player, but he was already starting to break through a bit even with Hill healthy. Now's his chance, and with bye weeks getting started, he's worth considering off the waiver wire, too.
