Fantasy managers and MVP bettors look away: Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill is inactive this Sunday against the New York Jets. 

Hill suffered an ankle injury during the Dolphins’ loss to the Tennessee Titans, and it’s kept him out of practice all week for Miami. 

Hill was able to return to the game against the Titans on Monday night, but it wasn’t until later in the game. He finished four catches for 61 yards.

Now, head coach Mike McDaniel’s offense loses his top weapon for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa going against a tough Jets defense. 

However, the Dolphins were able to run away from the Jets on Black Friday earlier this season, with Hill scoring a touchdown on nine catches for 102 yards. 

While Hill’s absence goes without saying for the Dolphins, his individual goals for the season are now hampered due to the injury. He leads the NFL with 1,542 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, and was well on his way to breaking Calvin Johnson’s single-season receiving yards record.

Now, Hill will have three games – not four – to top 1,964 yards, which Johnson tallied during the 2012 campaign. 

The Dolphins still employ tons of speedy options for Tagovailoa to have fun with each game day, including rookie running back De’Von Achane, who will be active despite dealing with a toe injury all week.
