The Miami Dolphins entered this season thinking they had either the best or second-best wide receiver in the league.
Tyreek Hill was coming off a historic season, and it seemed like he was on the verge of becoming the first-ever wide receiver with at least 2,000 receiving yards in a year.
That hasn’t been the case at all this season.
He’s struggled to be at his best even when Tua Tagovailoa has been healthy, and now, he’s even dropping passes.
Hill dropped three crucial passes on third down in the win over the San Francisco 49ers.
When asked about that, he blamed missing practice for the lack of ‘valuable reps’ with his quarterback (via FinsXtra).
? Tyreek Hill on his drops today: "Missing those valuable reps with the QB… you just can't show up on Sunday. You got to be able to prepare yourself." (@MiamiDolphins) #GoFins pic.twitter.com/J4a7tqNqU9

Hill entered the game with a ‘questionable’ tag because of a wrist injury that has been nagging him all year.
He was a limited participant on Friday, a full participant on Thursday, and wasn’t there on Wednesday.
Of course, that makes sense, but we’re still talking about a professional player and potential Hall of Famer here.
Hill’s struggles might stem from elsewhere, and some believe we’re already starting to see his downfall.
The Dolphins will most definitely hope that’s not the case.
They still have an opportunity to make the playoffs, and while it won’t be easy, they will most definitely need their star wideout to be at his best to get the job done.
