2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hill's time as Miami's No. 1 tight end lasted just a day. About 24 hours after the Dolphins traded Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh, they acquired Darren Waller, pushing Hill back to his rotational role. Hill improved in Year 2 last season, catching 12 of 19 targets for 100 yards in his 16 regular-season appearances. He could see a light uptick in targets this season, as Waller is coming out of retirement and won't fill all of Smith's targets. Perhaps more of those go to Hill, though he's primarily a blocking tight end. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $2.71 million contract with the Dolphins in May of 2023.
Scores first points of NFL career
Hill recorded a two-point conversion reception during Sunday's 33-8 road loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Hill wasn't targeted outside of a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter, which occurred after Miami's first and only touchdown of the day. With Darren Waller (hip) inactive due to an injury setback, Hill got a chance to start at tight end Week 1 and played 58 percent of offensive snaps, while Tanner Conner saw an identical workload. Neither tight end was targeted aside from the untimed two-point conversion attempt, though Conner saw more playing time on third downs while Hill handled the majority of early downs. If Waller is unable to return Week 2 versus the Patriots, Hill and Conner will continue to split time, with neither option carrying notable fantasy value.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hill is coming off an impressive rookie season, even if his 6-48-9 receiving line across 15 games was modest. Despite going undrafted out of Campbell and missing the first two games of 2023 due to an ankle injury, Hill managed to carve out a consistent weekly depth role, mostly contributing as a blocker. The addition of Jonnu Smith to join Durham Smythe atop the depth chart could mean a significant amount of those opportunities dry up for Hill, but he still profiles to handle a key reserve spot, likely as the No. 3 man in the tight end room.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to start Week 1
Hill is expected to be Miami's top available tight end in Week 1 against the Colts, as head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that he doesn't expect Darren Waller to play, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Waller came out of retirement to claim the top spot on the depth chart, but the veteran hurt his hip and couldn't practice at all in the week leading up to the season opener, leading McDaniel to term Waller doubtful for Week 1. The likely absence of Waller, coupled with the offseason trade that sent Jonnu Smith from Miami to Pittsburgh, clears the path for Hill to play most of the snaps at tight end, as Tanner Conner is the only other healthy alternative at the position on Miami's active roster.
