Tyreek Hill Avoids Suspension; Is Eligible To Play Full Season
The NFL will not suspend Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, the league announced Friday.

Hill can attend Chiefs training camp, which opens Friday, July 26.

The league issued the following statement:

"Over the past four months, we have conducted a comprehensive investigation of allegations regarding Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Throughout this investigation, the NFL's primary concern has been the well-being of the child. Our understanding is that the child is safe and that the child's ongoing care is being directed and monitored by the Johnson County District Court and the Johnson County Department for Children and Families.

"In conducting our investigation, we have taken great care to ensure that we do not interfere with the county's proceedings or compromise the privacy or welfare of the child in any way. The information developed in the court proceeding is confidential and has not been shared with us, and the court has sealed all law enforcement records. Local law enforcement authorities have publicly advised that the available evidence does not permit them to determine who caused the child's injuries.

"Similarly, based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy. Accordingly, he may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities. He has been and will continue to be subject to conditions set forth by the District Court, Commissioner Goodell, and the Chiefs, which include clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention.

"If further information becomes available through law enforcement, the pending court proceeding, or other sources, we will promptly consider it and take all appropriate steps at that time."

Hill has been barred from all team-related activities after audio surfaced on the first day of the 2019 NFL Draft in which he discusses injuries suffered by his son.

Beyond that, the fantasy implications are obvious.

Hill is a two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver with a history of domestic violence issues, including a case in which he was accused of punching Espinal while he was at Oklahoma State. Hill was kicked off the football team there and landed at a small school in Alabama, where he became a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2016.

Hill was a key part of a Chiefs offense that carried Kansas City to the AFC Championship Game last season. He earned first-team All-Pro honors as a receiver after recording career highs of 87 receptions, 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Hill finished last season as fantasy’s No. 3 wide receiver in PPR formats and No. 1 in standard scoring leagues.

He will move right back in as a top-10 fantasy prospect based on this news. Draft accordingly and consider this good news for Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the offense as well.
