Tyreek Hill: Start or Sit?
After a disappointing Week 1 performance against the Colts, fantasy football managers are wondering about Tyreek Hill's prospects against the Patriots. Hill caught 4 passes for 40 yards in Week 1. The Patriots defense allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in Week 1.
Fantasy Football Outlook
The absence of Christian Gonzalez could significantly improve Hill's matchup. While Hill relies on speed, he remains the No. 1 receiver on a team with high offensive potential. The expectation is that the Dolphins will rally in their home opener after a Week 1 embarrassment. In PPR and standard leagues, Hill remains a start.

WBZ-TV will provide comprehensive coverage of the Patriots-Dolphins game, starting with Patriots GameDay at 11:30 a.m. ET, followed by the game at 1:00 p.m. ET, and Patriots 5th Quarter after the game.
