No. 2: Tyreek Hill, Wide Receiver

For as good as Waddle has been this year Tyreek Hill has been even better. The superstar wideout was acquired in the offseason via trade with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill currently leads the NFL in receptions with 76 and yards with 1,104 to go with just three touchdowns. He is on pace to break Calvin Johnson’s single-season record for receiving yards in a single season.  He is an electric and explosive player whom the Browns must gameplan for accordingly. Hill is seemingly open every time the ball is hiked.

Cleveland will get some reinforcements this weekend, as Denzel Ward will seemingly return to the lineup after missing the past three games with a concussion. While he did not have a great start to the season after signing a massive extension in the summer, he will be needed against this high-octane offense on Sunday.

What Hill does when he’s not catching passes, is he frees up someone like Waddle to get more attention. The defense will surely try and take away Hill, so they must be wary of what he does for his teammates. Make no mistake though, if Hill gets past the defense, it could spell a long day for the Cleveland secondary.

Hill was the No. 1 receiver in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes but has really solidified his spot as a true No. 1 with the Dolphins.
