Tyreek Hill, Nico Collins, NFL Injury Statuses and Fantasy Impact for Week 11

Fantasy football players will have a close eye on Tyreek Hill for the rest of the NFL season.

The Miami Dolphins playmaker is dealing with a wrist injury that could hamper his performance in certain games.

Hill stated that he will play through the injury, but there is pain associated with the issue. For now, he is fine, but Hill's wrist may turn into a weekly issue depending on how he looks on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders and beyond.

There's much better news involving Nico Collins, who will be back on the field for the Houston Texans on Monday night.

Collins produced some of the highest fantasy football scores in the first five weeks of the season and will be expected to reach those heights once again.

Tyreek Hill Dealing With Wrist Injury

Tyreek Hill will play the rest of the 2024 regular season with some pain in his wrist.

Hill detailed his situation and why he opted against getting wrist surgery this week, per ESPN.com's Marcel Louis-Jacques.

"At the end of the day, I just got to suck it up and just deal with the pain," Hill said. "It's going to get worse the more I play, but I got to [gut] it out for my team. I'm here, I'm locked in no matter what, no matter how I feel. So even if I've got to cut my wrist off, I'm still out there because I love the game of football.

"Surgery was brought up and it was talked about whenever I talked to a few of the doctors, but it's my call at the end of the day, and my call is to stay out on the field."

The Dolphins need Hill out on the field to make one final push toward the AFC playoff spots in the next two weeks.

Miami hosts the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in a matchup that the entire offense should take advantage of.

The Raiders gave up over 240 passing yards in each of the last two weeks against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. They have allowed at least 20 points in each of their five road games.

Hill's wrist situation has to concern any fantasy football player with him on their roster, but he has to be worth the risk in Week 11 with the matchup against the Raiders.

There may be times later in the season, especially if Miami is out of playoff contention, where the smart move may be to bench Hill in fantasy, but Sunday seems like the ideal spot to keep him in the lineup.

Nico Collins Set To Return

Nico Collins has said he's "100 percent" for the Houston Texans' Week 11 Monday night showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.

That has to excite the Texans offense and fantasy football players who have been waiting to activate Collins off the injured reserve.

Collins was one of the best wide receivers in the NFL before he went on the injured reserve ahead of Week 6.

He recorded at least 78 receiving yards in each of his five appearances and earned at least 10 targets in three of those games.

Collins has the potential to tear apart the Dallas defense that conceded over 300 total yards in each of its last four games. Dallas allowed at least 27 points to every opponent during that stretch.

Collins' return will cut into Tank Dell's weekly production, but Dell is still the No. 2 pass-catcher in the Houston offense with Stefon Diggs out.

Both wide receivers and running back Joe Mixon could put up some of Week 11's top scores because of how poor the Dallas defense looked in recent weeks.
