The Miami Dolphins have acquired WR Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs for five draft picks.

Related Players: Tua Tagovailoa, Patrick Mahomes, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Teddy Bridgewater, DeVante Parker, Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson

Hill wanted out and got his wish. He strengthens the Dolphins wideout corps but takes a notable drop in quarterback with either Tua or Teddy under center. There is also the question of how good Miami's offensive line is even after adding Terron Armstead.

The Chiefs are almost a lock to add to their wide receiver room with either top 50 pick from the Dolphins or their own first rounder. Kansas City is also meeting with Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He is nowhere near Hill in terms of talent, but MVS has excellent speed.

Chiefs WR Josh Gordon tested positive, per the wire.

Gordon caught two passes for 9 yards and a TD this past week but his status will be up in the air for a Thursday night game against the Chargers in Week 15. Reports say Gordon is vaccinated so he'll need two negative tests in 24 hours to get back on the field.

Former All-Pro WR Josh Gordon, who is being reinstated, is planning to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs, sources tell ESPN. His agents, Eric Dounn and Matt Leist, confirmed Gordon is headed to Kansas City.

This is a nice landing spot for Gordon who could easily climb to the team's WR2 role, however behind Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. Still, the team certainly has a need for a WR2 as Hardman has 11 catches for 107 yards and a TD over the first three weeks and Pringle has a 5-81-1 line over the same span. Gordon is worth grabbing on the waiver wire this week just for being a Chief and having Patrick Mahomes as his QB. Back in 2019 Gordon appeared in 11 games, playing for both the Patriots and Seahawks. Gordon only caught seven passes from Russell Wilson while playing limited snaps, but averaged a robust 19.9 yards per reception. Of course, Gordon's history makes him a risk.

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman was limited in practice Wednesday according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.

The last thing Hardman needs is an injury to allow Pringle and Robinson the opportunity to get more practice reps and potential game reps. Friday's injury report will be important.

The Chiefs used a lot of multiple tight end formations during Reid's early seasons. From 2014 through 2017, they were in the NFL's top 10 every season in number of plays out with three tight end personnel groupings. They led the league in that category in 2016.

But the Chiefs since moved away from those formations as they improved at wide receiver, adding first Tyreek Hill and later Sammy Watkins and Mecole Hardman. They used no three tight end formations in either 2018 or 2019 and though they did use two tight ends on occasion, Travis Kelce was on his own a lot in terms of his position.

That will change this season.

The story said the Chiefs may not always use all four TEs at one time, but they have tinkered with it in practice and the preseason, especially close to the goal line. And, they've had success with it, scoring a TD against the Vikings in the preseason. Four TEs on the field would obviously be bad news for Hill owners because it would mean he's not on the field in those situations. Gray could be a player to keep an eye on as he's the team's fifth round pick from this year's NFL Draft.

The team announced that wide receiver Byron Pringle has been placed on injured reserve. Pringle injured his ankle in last Sunday’s win over the Raiders.

Pringle had nine catches for 108 yards while appearing in all 10 games. He also returned seven kickoffs for 247 yards, including a 102-yard return for a touchdown in Week 7. It looked like he passed Hardman on the depth chart against the Raiders Sunday night. With Watkins still hurt, Robinson looks to run as the WR2 and Hardman could move up to the WR3 role.

Chiefs WR snaps with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) inactive and Mecole Hardman (COVID list) activated:

Tyreek Hill 72
Demarcus Robinson 63
Byron Pringle 46
Mecole Hardman 17
Gehrig Dieter 3

With Watkins out, it was Pringle who took over as the team's WR3. But Pringle had just four targets, catching three for 17 yards. Pringle was also returning kicks but suffered and ankle injury and didn't return. Robinson had a line of 6-44-0 as the Chiefs rallied to win and were forced to throw 46 times. But outside of Hill and Travis Kelce who combined for 19 catches, 229 yards and two TDs, there's not a lot of chances, especially when Watkins is able to return.

The Chiefs activated WR Mecole Hardman from the reserve/COVID list Saturday.

Some good news for the Chiefs at the wide receiver position after they ruled out Sammy Watkins. With Watkins out, Hardman should mix back in ahead of Demarcus Robinson and could be at least a flex option against the Raiders. He’s currently just outside our top 40 half-PPR receivers.
