News: 1 day agoHill (oblique) is not practicing Wednesday, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

Spin: Hill has been on and off the practice field due to a lingering oblique injury since early August, though he's been sidelined the majority of the time. Kelly now speculates that the veteran wideout could sit out practice until the start of the regular season in order to prioritize getting back to full health in time for Week 1 against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7. Overall, Miami's pass-catching corps has been trending in the right direction, with Jaylen Waddle back at practice and TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) having come off the active/PUP list Wednesday, though RB De'Von Achane (calf) seems to be facing a similar recovery timetable to Hill. Expect Hill to sit out Saturday's preseason finale against the Jaguars.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hill is eyeing a rebound campaign following what was undoubtedly the most disappointing season of his career. Granted, he wasn't fully healthy, but Hill appeared in all 17 games and still managed to see a massive dip in targets, catches, yardage, TDs and fantasy points, compared to his first two seasons in Miami. Hill finished 31st among WRs in fantasy PPG after ranking no lower than 11th the prior seven seasons. It didn't help that Tua Tagovailoa missed six games (Hill averaged 9.0 PPG in those weeks), but he wasn't his usual, elite self even with Tagovailoa (14.9 PPG). Hill was the No. 2 fantasy WR three of four seasons before the 2024 dud, so a potential rebound season is worth factoring in, but it's not a lock as he enters his age-31 campaign. He's safest as a WR2 with upside.
