Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill just made another nice contested over-the-shoulder catch on pass from Alex Smith. That connection has been great all camp.
Hill averaged 71 total yards and 0.64 TD in his final 10 regular season games (15.3 PPG). We know he’s going to start at Jeremy Maclin’s old “Z” position, the featured receiving position in Reid’s offense. Per 4for4's Player Snap App, among players who played at least 40% of their team's snaps, Hill ranked first in fantasy points per snap in both standard and PPR formats. He was the #11 fantasy receiver (PPR) after his team's Week 5 bye. The Chiefs’ decision to cut Maclin certainly raises Hill’s floor. In the four games that Maclin missed last season, Hill averaged 7.0 receptions (on 8.5 targets) for 63 yards and 0.25 TD. Throw in his role in the rushing game and he’s suddenly looking like a strong fantasy WR2.
