Tyreek Hill case currently 'inactive,' could return to team

CBS Sports

Jun 07, 2019 · 6:54 PM EDT

Tyreek Hill's indefinite suspension with the Chiefs could soon be coming to an end.

According to NFL.com, Hill is likely going to return to the team in time for training camp, but that's only if there are no further developments in his case.

Johnson County district attorney Steve Howe, the DA in charge of the Hill case, told the Kansas City Star on Friday that the investigation into Hill isn't currently active and that it won't be reopened unless some new evidence comes to light.

Although Hill's currently off the hook from a legal standpoint, this doesn't necessarily mean that he's in the clear just yet. If the Chiefs do reinstate their star receiver and allow him to attend training camp, he'll still have at least two issues hanging over his head.

For one, Child Protection Services (the Kansas Department for Children and Families) is still investigating the case to make sure that Hill's 3-year-old son is safe. Not helping Hill's case is the fact that the DA believes that a crime occurred. According to Howe, the reason there weren't any charges filed is because authorities simply don't know who committed the crime: Hill or his fiancee, Crystal Espinal.

Also, Hill could still face punishment from the NFL. The league has been investigating the case for nearly two months and that investigation is ongoing. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was actually asked about the situation at the NFL spring meeting in May, and according to him, the league is going to move forward with its investigation as soon as they get the OK from Child Protection Services.

Fantasy Impact:

We have put Hill back into the projections, though a suspension is still possible and/or he could miss games after being put on the Commissioner's Exempt list pending the completion of the CPS investigation. We currently project him to miss six games, but that's admittedly an educated guess. From a fantasy perspective, his availability boosts the efficiency outlook of Patrick Mahomes, while receivers Sammy Watkins and Mecole Hardman moved down in the rankings. Mahomes averaged 10.80 yards per attempt when targeting HIll, and 8.54 yards per attempt to all other receivers.

Chiefs' WR Mecole Hardman is building chemistry with Patrick Mahomes

Since his arrival with the Chiefs, Mecole Hardman has learned his role could be just about anything in Reid’s expansive and complex playbook. Hardman, who showed elite speed in running his 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in an impressive 4.33 seconds, could be asked to replace star receiver Tyreek Hill.

Whether Hill returns to the team or not, Hardman could be the Chiefs’ primary slot receiver. Hardman could also be the team’s primary punt returner. He could also be the central character on any trick play Reid favors.

Fantasy Impact:

Rookie WRs tend to be hit or miss for fantasy purposes, but if Tyreek Hill misses significant time, Hardman could find himself an integral player in one of the most potent offenses in the NFL along with teammate Sammy Watkins. Seeing his HC push him this hard during OTAs shows faith in the former UGA product, which bodes well for his potential work in 2019.

Hardman's ADP is currently WR34 in redraft leagues and WR53 in best-balls, leaving boards in the eighth and 10th rounds respectively. John Paulson projects 143PPR points for the rookie this season as WR51.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill under investigation for alleged battery

Kansas City Star

Mar 15, 2019 · 5:34 PM EDT

The Kansas City Chiefs have confirmed to The Star that they are aware of a law enforcement investigation involving wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

The Star has obtained a police report from the Overland Park Police Department about a battery incident that lists a juvenile as the victim. Hill’s fiancee, Crystal Espinal, is listed under “others involved.”

A source familiar with the situation said Hill’s fiancee has been in contact with Overland Park police. The source said that the incident was against the couple’s 3-year-old son, resulting in a broken arm.

As of Friday afternoon, Hill had not been charged with a crime.

Hill has a history of domestic violence. He reportedly punched and choked Espinal, who was then eight weeks pregnant with their son, on Dec. 11, 2014. He was arrested and dismissed from the Oklahoma State football team. Hill pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in August 2015. He received three years probation.
