NFL players seem to have a love-hate relationship with fantasy football.
Some of them, such as Austin Ekeler, have embraced the community and have gotten involved in some of the industry’s activities.
Ekeler is a well-known advocate for the game, but not every player shares the same sentiment.
In the past, players have received online hate for making someone lose their fantasy football matchup that week.
This is why players like Tyreek Hill tend to have some fun with the fantasy football community, which can receive mixed reviews.
FinsXtra recently shared a press conference on X, where Hill gave a special shoutout to fantasy football players.
“I’m healthy. All my fantasy draftees, draft people, I’m fine. 100 percent. I just wanted to troll y’all a little bit,” Hill said.

A collective sigh of relief was heard after this statement, both by fantasy managers of Hill, and general Dolphins.
There was a slight concern that Hill wasn’t fully healthy ahead of the season, but his latest comments indicate that he’s doing just fine.
This is great news for the Dolphins, as Hill is their top receiver, and he is in line for another massive season.
Hill believed that he would achieve 2,000 yards last season, but injuries derailed that dream from becoming a reality.
Is 2,000 yards achievable for Hill this season, knowing there might be some underlying injuries beneath the surface?
We’ll soon find out, as the Dolphins take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in their season opener on Sunday.
