The NFL has gone mad, folks.
In yet another blockbuster trade, the Kansas City Chiefs have traded superstar wideout Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2022 first-round pick (No. 29), a second-round pick (No. 50) and a fourth-round pick, as well as fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2023 NFL draft according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move has a ripple effect of sorts across several positions as we look ahead to the 2022 fantasy campaign.
Hill leaving the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes is bad for the value of both players. Hill will now be catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa, who hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire as a pro. He's not much of a downfield passer either, as we see in his T-28th rank among quarterbacks in terms of big pass plays (20-plus yards) last season. Tua’s stock will rise with Hill in the mix regardless, but he’s still not what I would call a major breakout candidate. I consider him a mid-to-low No. 2 fantasy quarterback.
