Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's Week 9 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Hill had been trending in the wrong direction after missing three consecutive practices this week. His absence leaves Miami extra short-staffed at tight end, as they're also without Darren Waller (pectoral). Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich should step up as the Dolphins' top two tight ends, but neither of them possesses significant fantasy intrigue for Week 9.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) remained out of practice again on Tuesday and looks unlikely to suit up for Thursday night's game in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Hill also missed all of last week's practices and was inactive for the Week 8 upset win on Sunday over the Atlanta Falcons. The 25-year-old is missing out on a chance at an expanded role with Darren Waller (pectoral) on Injured Reserve, but perhaps he'll be ready to go in Week 10 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Hill will most likely be officially ruled out for Thursday night's game on Wednesday. With Waller and Hill out this past weekend, Tanner Conner caught both of his targets for six yards, while Greg Dulcich didn't have a target. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Miami's TE situation.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) was a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Hill did not play in the team's Week 8 upset win over the Atlanta Falcons and appears to be on track to miss a second straight game during a short week for a Thursday night contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Darren Waller (pectoral) is on Injured Reserve, so the Dolphins were down to Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich at TE on Sunday. Conner caught both of his targets against Atlanta for only six yards, while Dulcich wasn't targeted at all. Until further notice, fantasy managers should continue to ignore the Dolphins' TE situation with Waller on IR. In seven games in his third year in the NFL, Hill has only 10 catches on 13 targets for 77 yards and no touchdowns.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) was not seen practicing on Thursday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Hill also missed practice on Wednesday with his ankle injury and appears headed towards missing the team's Week 8 contest on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. He isn't really on the fantasy radar, but it's worth noting for a flailing Dolphins team that just placed tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) on Injured Reserve this week. If Hill is also unavailable this weekend, the Dolphins will be down to Tanner Conner and Greg Dulcich at the position. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggling mightily through seven weeks, don't be surprised to see Miami lean more on its backfield going forward. Fantasy managers should avoid Miami's TE situation entirely.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill started the first three games of the season but had just one catch. Since the return of Darren Waller from a hip injury, Hill has actually been more involved in the last few weeks, while serving as the team's second tight end. He had four catches for 22 yards against the Panthers and three catches for 31 yards against the Chargers in the two games since the Dolphins lost Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season. This week, Hill and the Dolphins visit the Browns, who rank 18th in the NFL against tight ends this season. He's only the TE41, so he's not nearly in a starting spot in all but the deepest formats, but it is interesting that he's been able to find a little bit of a rhythm and role the last few weeks in Miami's passing game.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill started the first three games of the season while Darren Waller (hip) was out, but he only had one catch for one target in those three games, despite a large snap share. Even with Waller back and Hill's playing time shrinking, he posted his best offensive game of the season in Week 5 against the Panthers, and he'll look to build on that success in Week 6 against the Chargers. Hill caught four of his five targets in Week 5 for 22 yards, setting a season-high in targets, catches, and yards. He only played 53% of snaps, and that number could drop even more if Waller is healthy and ready for more snaps. Hill could struggle to keep contributing, which is why he's the TE51 in RotoBaller's rankings and well off the radar as a starting option this week. However, it is worth noting that he started to get some attention from Tua Tagovailoa last week, which could make him fantasy-relevant if Waller gets banged up again.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill has started each of the first two games for his team this season, while Darren Waller (hip) has been out. With Waller out again in Week 3 when the Dolphins face the Bills on Thursday, Hill will likely get plenty of time on the field once again. He played 51% of snaps in Week 1 and 58% in Week 2. However, all that time on the field hasn't led to any targets. His only contribution has been a successful two-point conversion catch in Week 1. Since he's not getting any looks from Tua Tagovailoa, he's a longshot play in Week 3, coming into the week as the TE45, well off the fantasy radar in all formats, except potentially as a DFS Thursday night contest dart throw.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill will be atop the depth chart for a second straight week with Daren Waller (hip) ruled out against the Patriots. In Week 1, the third-year tight end split snaps right down the middle with Tanner Conner, each playing 28 snaps in Waller's absence. While he did not get a single target in Week 1, he did catch a two-point conversion. It doesn't count as an official reception, but the conversion did give his fantasy managers something to show for Week 1. Hill will probably play plenty of snaps again in Week 2, but he is not involved enough in the offense to be a fantasy factor. He can be left on the waiver wire in all formats at this point and is the TE43 in RotoBaller's Week 2 rankings.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill is in line to get the start against the Colts after offseason acquisition Darren Waller (hip) was ruled out. Waller's return after a year off has not gone according to plan since he hasn't been able to stay healthy enough to get used to the offense or connect with Tua Tagovailoa. In his place, Hill will step into the lineup, but the third-year tight end from Campbell has shown limited fantasy potential in his first two years. He has caught a total of 18 passes in two years for 148 yards and no scores. He's off the fantasy radar as the TE46 coming into the week, but since he'll start, he does have a glimmer of touchdown-dependent upside.
