Julian Hill Fantasy Stats

The New England Patriots agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with free-agent tight end Julian Hill on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Hill will stay in the AFC East and will join the division-rival Patriots after spending the first three years of his career with the Miami Dolphins, where he caught a total of 33 passes for 288 yards and no touchdowns on 48 targets over 45 games (26 starts). The former undrafted free agent out of Campbell University had career-highs in catches (15), targets (20), and receiving yards (140) in 14 games for the Dolphins in 2025. The 25-year-old won't have any real fantasy appeal going into next season in Boston, but he'll help fill a blocking role behind starter Hunter Henry to help make up for the loss of Austin Hooper, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich finished third on the team with four targets against the Commanders. He hauled in just two catches for 18 yards in a quiet day for the offense, but he remained the team's primary pass-catcher at the position. Dulcich played 54% of the team's offensive snaps, while Julian Hill played 46% of snaps in his return from an ankle injury. Hill caught his lone target for 14 yards. Dulcich seems to be set up for more responsibilities as a receiver for as long as Darren Waller (pectoral) is on IR, but the Dolphins' passing game hasn't been dynamic enough to make him more than a deep league flier when the team returns from its Week 12 bye with a matchup against the Saints in Week 13.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report, meaning he'll make his return on Sunday against the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain. Hill will put an end to a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, but fantasy managers can continue to look elsewhere. Darren Waller (pectoral) remains on Injured Reserve, but the 25-year-old Hill will be battling for limited targets with Greg Dulcich against Washington. Before his ankle injury, Hill had only 10 catches on 13 targets for 77 yards and no touchdowns. He is still looking for his first NFL touchdown after debuting for the Dolphins in 2023. Fantasy managers desperate at the TE position should be able to find better options on the waiver wire.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) was limited for the second straight day this week in practice on Thursday, according to Travis Wingfield of MiamiDolphins.com. Hill has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 7 and has put in five straight limited practices. The 25-year-old's status remains up in the air for this weekend's game in Madrid, Spain, versus the Washington Commanders. If he misses another game, Greg Dulcich should operate as Miami's top pass-catching tight end for another week with Darren Waller (pectoral) still on Injured Reserve. In general, fantasy managers should avoid Miami's TE situation. Hill, who is in his third year with Miami, had only 10 receptions on 13 targets for 77 yards and no touchdowns in seven games before his ankle injury.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's divisional clash against the visiting Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 10. Despite logging three limited practices this week, Hill will miss his third straight game. The 25-year-old has not been able to take advantage of Darren Waller (pectoral) being on Injured Reserve. With Hill out again this weekend, Greg Dulcich figures to be the team's top pass-catching TE after he caught all five of his targets for 49 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Still, Dulcich won't be much more than a low-end TE2 streaming option for fantasy managers against Buffalo. Hill is still searching for his first touchdown of the year and has only 10 receptions for 77 yards on 13 carries for Miami in 2025.

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) missed the last two weeks with an ankle injury and is questionable for Week 10. He put in limited practices this week, though, and he seems to be on track to return since the team parted ways with Tanner Conner, who was filling in while Hill was out. If he's ready to return, Hill would likely share time at tight end with Greg Dulcich, with Dulcich handling pass-catching and Hill most of the blocking responsibilities. Hill only had 10 catches for 77 scoreless yards in his seven games this year, and he's not usually involved as a receiver. Hill will likely get playing time if healthy, but he's not much of a fantasy option this week. If he's out, Dulcich would have an even higher ceiling as the more full-time tight end.

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.
