Safety deep over the top. Just realize that leaves the middle of the field open but pick your poison.

Oh you definitely need someone behind the DB that's on the LOS. Remember most of these guys coaching are not even close to geniuses. I mean look at Pittsburgh's D vs New England. year after year, they play zone and Brady chews them up. The way you beat Brady is man up on the receivers but Pittsburgh, even after seeing a team successfully do it to NE, they fail to recognize that and make the same mistake year after year.

I just have to say a HUGE thank you to Milkman and EBF and all the others who made such a convincing case for Tyreek this season. Picking at #3 in my 21-year league I knew I was going RB-WR-WR and I had targeted Diggs most of the off-season, along with probably Evans.
But after that deep throw in the preseason game I came here and read up on Hill, and eventually took him at 2.10 based on all this reasoning. BOY has it been fun watching him every game!! Week 1 and then Sunday night were insane. (btw I got Diggs anyway on the way back at 3.3).
I really appreciate the critical reasoning on display on these boards.

Another redzone TD, even in a total blowout with horrible game script. He can do it all

Not complaining but technically it shoulda been a 35 yard TD, don’t think he quite looked it all the way on tho so had the bad drop

Got up slow after an incomplete pass. Didn't look bad at all but hopefully it doesn't linger.

Maybe it's a slight tweek and he will be back this week or miss a week ..depends how bad.. maybe was removed for precaution
Not freaking out but I'm also not going to read anything into a Halloween costume, especially when he was still coming down off his game time adrenaline rush

Groin strain sounds no bueno. Hoping for best expecting him to miss some time though.

It's a big loss to the Chiefs offense if Hill is out. He demands so much attention and opens the middle of the field for Kelce and intermediate routes for Watkins.
Hopefully it's a minor (if there is such a thing for a groin) injury.

Any word on the severity of his injury? Hoping he's only out a game or two at most but fearing longer.
I read on rotoexperts that if it is considered mild, the optimal recovery time is 2 weeks. If it is more than mild, it could be 5 or so weeks. Hopefully it is a slight tweak and they don't throw him out there for a re-aggravation, especially considering the burner he is.
That's a good point. I wouldn't like it if he was out of my lineup for a week or two (especially since I also have Mahomes) but I'd still prefer that to him rushing back and reinjuring it.

You don’t dance around in a blow up sumo suit if you just pulled your groin

All blown out of proportion news.. He prob felt a slight tweak and they took him out of a game that was on hand

I saw lots of reports that just assumed groin injury = multi-week absence.
To be fair, I don't take this news as confirmation of anything either. As far as I'm concerned, we still don't really know anything. I will feel confident when I see the final injury report and he's not on it.

Maybe not blowing out of proportion but there was concern. The cbs guys didn’t even list Hill in their early weekly rankings. Eisenherg and Richard just added him 20 min ago. Heath still doesn’t rank him. Glad to hear he’s practicing.
A ton of star players take Wednesday practice completely off for the smallest of injuries, just to rest, so I’d say even showing up on a day he doesn’t need to is a pretty good indication that he’s fine and the Chicken Littles talking about him being out through his bye were blowing it out of proportion.
Not disagreeing with you, and if I had to make a decision on, say, whether to start someone tomorrow night out of concern that Hill would sit, I suppose this is helpful news. But for most of us, it doesn't really matter when we know that Hill is OK, just that he is OK. And tea leaves aside, we don't officially know that yet.

keeping an eye open because if there was a week for them to be really safe....this is probably it....

Super happy to hear this - I’m keeping TyWilliams on call, just in case news changes, but I’d rather roll with my studs.
Actually, after I posted that I realized I kind of am too, at least indirectly. Thinking of sitting Kittle if Beathard is out, but that would mean that OJ Howard would be unavailable as my flex if Hill sits. So him being healthy would at least give me more flexibility (though I'll probably start Kittle regardless).
Anyway, I was speaking more generally about our need to read tea leaves on guys when it doesn't really matter how early we know their status. It's totally understandable, but not worth the agita.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. I was just whining
Due to byes and injuries I'm flexing Tyreek or J Richard
Oh man, do you have any alternative? I'd have to be really sure Tyreek was going to sit before I'd take a chance on subbing in Richard for him.

Tyreek Hill - WR - Chiefs
Tyreek Hill (groin) is practicing in full for Week 9.
It's great news after Hill went down late in Week 8. Hill will play in Sunday's game with the Browns, but any soft-tissue injury comes with going-forward setback risks.
