Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill dealing with "minor" thumb injury

Aug 21, 2024

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is apparently dealing with a minor thumb injury that will keep him out of most, if not all, of Wednesday’s joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact:

Hill has been spotted wearing a brace on his injured hand, but head coach Mike McDaniel said he is not concerned about his availability for Week 1. Keep drafting him as a top-end fantasy asset.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) in street clothes today as #Bengals come out for practice.

Ja’Marr Chase out here all normal.

Burrow wearing a sweatband in his right wrist today (not making this a thing, merely documenting). Browning has a sweatband on his left wrist.

Related Players: Andrei Iosivas, Charlie Jones, Trenton Irwin

Fantasy Impact:

Iosivas was pegged for more work last week, but his team-leading 35 routes led to a 3-26-0 stat line. That should look better against the Chiefs, but is probably still not worth serious fantasy consideration. Higgins, on the other hand, would be a fringe WR3/4 if he ends up suiting up.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

Bad look for the Browns offense, that can't use anymore distractions right now. Akins shouldn't be in streaming consideration unless you're in a very deep league.

The Steelers are planning to start QB Justin Fields vs the Broncos

Related Players: Russell Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Denver isn't the best matchup for quarterbacks, but we know what Fields can do with his legs when given the opportunity, so he is a fringe QB1 on the week for those in need.
