Week 15 vs. Denver Broncos
Tyreek Hill was solid last week despite playing in a bad matchup. Against a tough Patriots defense, Hill finished 6-62 while rushing twice for eight yards. Things won't get much easier this week against Denver, but Hill had some success against the Broncos earlier this season, finishing 3-74-1 (while playing with two quarterbacks). Hill always has an incredible ceiling, and that alone makes him worth starting. We like Hill as a strong WR1 in Week 15.
Week 14 at New England Patriots
Tyreek Hill was active last week despite dealing with a hamstring injury, and he finished 5-55 while playing 81% of the offensive snaps. He's been removed from the injury report this week, so he should be good to go in a tough matchup against New England. The Patriots have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers, and have especially been tough on a team's No. 1 threat (Amari Cooper finished with 0 just two weeks ago). Don't be surprised if Hill doesn't play well this game, but his game-breaking ability makes him a must-play threat. He should still be viewed as a WR1.
Week 13 vs. Oakland Raiders
Tyreek Hill finished with a goose egg in Week 11 as he left in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. He got in a full practice session on Wednesday, so he should be good to go this week in a favorable matchup against the Raiders. Hill was absent in Kansas City's first game against Oakland, but Patrick Mahomes put up over 400 passing yards in that game. Since we already know the Chiefs can pass against this defense, we can expect Hill to have a productive game. Trust him as a must-start WR1 in Week 13.
Week 11 at Los Angeles Chargers
Tyreek Hill was dominant in Patrick Mahomes' return, seeing a ridiculous 19 targets last week. He turned those targets in an 11-157-1 stat line. It seems unlikely Hill will reach 19 targets again, but the numbers just prove he's the focal point of this offense. Similarly to Mahomes, Hill should be viewed as matchup proof. Not only can he break away on long touchdowns, but he also just gets a lot of touches. He should be viewed as a must-start WR1 against the Chargers.
Week 10 at Tennessee Titans
Tyreek Hill plays well with any quarterback as he finished 6-140-1 last week with Matt Moore. He's projected to get Patrick Mahomes back at QB this week, which is good news overall. The Titans aren't a great matchup, but they're far from lockdown like the Patriots. Whether Mahomes returns or Moore starts again, Hill should be fine and trusted as a must-start WR1.
Week 9 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Tyreek Hill didn't suffer any major setbacks just because Matt Moore was the quarterback. He played great last week, finishing 6-76 off of nine targets. He's played great in three straight games, topping 70 yards in each while scoring three times. He should continue to play well this week in a favorable matchup against the Vikings, who are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to receivers. Hill should be viewed as a strong WR1 in Week 9.
Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers
Tyreek Hill finished 3-74-1 in the Chiefs' last game as he made a big play with a 57-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Plays like that are why Hill remains a must-start option on any given week. Even though things don't look great in Week 8 as Hill gets a bad matchup against the Packers and is playing with backup Matt Moore, his ceiling is so high that you can't ignore him. He could struggle, but he should be able to produce something this week. He should be viewed as a low-end WR1 option.
Week 7 at Denver Broncos
Tyreek Hill was finally back in the lineup and he shined immediately. The star wideout returned from a shoulder injury and finished 5-80-2 on a team-high 10 targets. He gets a brutal matchup this week against Denver, who is allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this season. But Hill is unlike most receivers as his speed can make him break away at any moment. Hill has also had plenty of success against Denver in the past. We still like him as a WR1, even in a very difficult matchup.
Week 6 vs. Houston Texans
Tyreek Hill may be returning to action this week as he's been a limited participant in practice. Kansas City also needs him as Sammy Watkins is on track to miss Week 6. We've seen just 12 snaps on offense of Hill in 2019, but we all know what he brings to the table. If he's healthy enough to play, he's capable of WR1 numbers, especially in a favorable matchup against the Texans. But monitor his injury status as he could be on limited snaps, or hindered somewhat by his shoulder injury.
Week 1 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Tyreek Hill avoided league punishment in the offseason, so he'll be suiting up in Week 1. He's coming off of a monster 2018 season where he caught 87 passes for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns -- all career highs. His elite speed matches up perfectly with Patrick Mahomes' arm strength and this partnership should continue to produce high-end results in 2019.
Hill doesn't get a great matchup in Week 1 as he faces the Jaguars' tough pass defense. Jacksonville has said Jalen Ramsey will shadow Hill throughout the game. Last season, Hill caught four passes for 61 yards against Jacksonville while rushing for an additional 26 (87 scrimmage yards). He may struggle to get open at times, but you can only contain Hill for so long. He should still be viewed as a strong WR1 despite the poor matchup.
