Theo Johnson vs Tyreek HillWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

Start Tyreek Hill over Theo Johnson in 2026.

Tyreek Hill averaged 10.8 PPG in 2025 to Theo Johnson's 7.0, a 3.8 point per game edge. Hill posted that edge in only 4 games, so the per-game ceiling is real but watch his availability. Tyreek Hill is Tier 3 among wide receivers, Theo Johnson is Tier 3 among tight ends.

The Bottom Line

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Tyreek Hill (10.8 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Theo Johnson (7.0 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Theo Johnson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #24 at the position). Tyreek Hill: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #20 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR in most league formats.

Theo Johnson vs Tyreek Hill: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Theo Johnson (TE, New York Giants) against Tyreek Hill (WR, Miami Dolphins) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Theo Johnson averaged 7.0 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while Tyreek Hill posted 10.8 PPG across 4 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Theo Johnson has his bye in Week 8, Tyreek Hill in Week 6. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Tyreek Hill at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Theo Johnson is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Theo Johnson (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Tyreek Hill (age 32) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
