Tyreek Hill is having an extremely disappointing 2024 fantasy football season so far. He currently ranks as the overall WR43 this year after entering the season as one of the top-ranked wide receivers. He has also finished outside of the top 50 players in his position in four of his six games this season.
Some of this can be explained by playing with back-up quarterbacks for most of the season, but the Miami Dolphins are expected to get Tua Tagovailoa back for their Week 8 game. This makes Hill an interesting player to target in the trade market for fantasy football as his value is likely to only go up from here.
Should you trade for Tyreek Hill in Week 8 fantasy football?
The return of Tua Tagovailoa is a massive boost to the entire Miami Dolphins offensive players in 2024 fantasy football. Tyreek Hill is likely to be one of the biggest beneficiaries as he has already proven to be one of the best weapons in the entire NFL when he has his starting quarterback. This includes finishing as the overall WR2 and WR3 in the past two seasons.
This creates an intriguing opportunity to buy low on Hill in fantasy trades ahead of the Week 8 slate of games. He is currently having the worst fantasy season of his entire career, so his price tag will be much lower than what it usually would be. Managers would be wise to target him now before his fantasy value likely goes back up with Tagovailoa making his return this week.
Tyreek Hill fantasy outlook for rest of 2024 season
Tyreek Hill has finished six of his eight NFL seasons ranked as the WR8 or better in fantasy football. This makes it shocking that he currently ranks as the WR43 this year so far, but he has been unable to overcome disastrous quarterback play. That should change starting in Week 8 when he gets to link back up with Tua Tagovailoa.
The duo got their 2024 season off to an expected start with Hill finishing Week 1 as the WR4 in fantasy football. This represents their only completed game together this season, with Tagovailoa being knocked out with a head injury in Week 2. If he can stay healthy for the remainder of the year, it will likely result in a major bounce back for Hill. The superstar wide receiver has a bright fantasy outlook going forward.
