3 years agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday after testing positive for the virus and is in danger of missing Week 16 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. It comes at a bad time for fantasy managers with the fantasy playoffs underway, but Hill still has a chance to suit up. If Hill is able to dress on Sunday, he will face a Steelers defense that has allowed 157 yards and a touchdown per game to the wide receiver position. More should be known on the status of Hill prior to Sunday's contest, but fantasy managers should still make sure they have backup plan. If Hill were to miss Week 16, wide receivers Mecole Hardman, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson and Josh Gordon could all see an increase in snaps, with Hardman likely to play Hill's role in the offense. As long as he suits up, Hill should be considered a WR1.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
