Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered an ankle injury in his team's 28-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans. After leaving the game in the first quarter, Hill managed to return in the third quarter.
He made an immediate impact for his team, but unfortunately, Will Levis and the Titans scored 14 points in the last three minutes to seal the win. Hill finished the game with four receptions for 61 yards, and his absence during the majority of the game proved that he should be an MVP candidate this season.
How serious is Hill's ankle injury? Will he play in Week 15 against the New York Jets? Let's take a look.

Tyreek Hill Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Tyreek Hill has dealt with an ankle injury throughout this season. He is currently designated as questionable for the Week 15 game against the Jets, but it's likely that he will play. The fact that he was able to return against the Titans was a big positive, and he should be ready to make an impact for his team next week.
The Dolphins are 9-4 on the season and are two games ahead of the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. However, they cannot risk losing more games as the Bills are capable of winning the rest of their remaining fixtures.
Hill's quest for 2000 receiving yards continues, but the time he missed in the Titans game due to an ankle injury has made the task much more difficult.
Tyreek Hill Fantasy Football Outlook
In 13 games this season, Tyreek Hill has 97 receptions for 1,542 yards and 12 touchdowns. He is averaging 15.9 yards per reception and 118.6 yards per game this season. He still needs 458 receiving yards in the last four games of the season to become the first player in NFL history to have 2000 receiving yards in a single season.
Although the Jets have a pretty good defense that can limit Hill's production, the Dolphins wideout had a great game against them in Week 12. In the 34-13 win, Hill finished with nine receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.
Since the upcoming game is in Miami, we can expect a similar game from the 29-year-old wide receiver. Heading into the fantasy football playoffs, he has recorded a total of 274.2 points in half-PPR scoring leagues and is ranked #4 among WRs by the RotoBaller staff.
