It can be so easy to panic in fantasy football. After all, we have a very limited amount of time to witness and analyze a player’s performance. But never fear — Dalton Del Don is here to gauge exactly how worried we should be — if at all.
Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins
Hill is the WR41 in fantasy points per game this season, and the return of Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t helped as anticipated. The Dolphins shockingly have the second-lowest WR target share (49.1%) this season. Running back De’Von Achane led Miami in first-read target% on Monday night, when Hill was tied for third with tight end Jonnu Smith.
Hill has four times as many games with fewer than 25 receiving yards as he had over the past two seasons combined. Tagovailoa ranks 36th in deep throw attempt rate (7.7%). He recently passed Patrick Mahomes with the lowest average intended air yards (5.4) among all quarterbacks this season. Hill has taken a backseat to an offense that no longer throws deep (or scores as many points), and a wrist injury could help explain it.
Hill’s wrist has been bothering him reportedly since training camp (and worsened during his arrest), and the initial MRI showed a torn ligament. It could be contributing to his declining route win rate this season. Hill’s fantasy managers are surely panicking given the new offense and injury news.
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
Lamb was able to maintain fantasy production with Cooper Rush in the past, but his first game this season was a disaster. Rush lost as many fumbles (2.0) as he got yards per attempt. It was the fewest passing yards in a game with at least 20 attempts since 2015. Rush finished with a completion percentage over expectation (-13.5) in the eighth percentile despite an average depth of target of just 6.4 yards (18th percentile). Lamb’s 10 targets resulted in 21 scoreless yards, including losing a touchdown in the sun.
Trey Lance wasn’t any better while taking two sacks and getting picked off on six pass attempts, as Dallas…
