Hill's start to the season did not begin as he would have hoped, leaving with a shoulder injury just 12 snaps into the season. The emphasis for the Chiefs has been the shoulder's stability in a return, hoping the speedster would not be susceptible to further injury when he did return.

The return of the speedy Chiefs' receiver is huge for fantasy owners, with Hill being the top overall receiver in standard scoring leagues just a season ago. Last season, he accounted for a team-high 23 percent of KC's targets and his 37 percent share of the team's air yards was the sixth highest mark in the NFL.

#Chiefs head trainer @proatc is the best in professional sports. All sports. Have know him since I was 19 years old. If he signs off on Tyreek Hill playing, then take it to the bank.

Now officially active for Week 6, Hill should be considered a must-start on your fantasy team, especially in PPR formats, where we have him at WR10. He faces a positive matchup against a Houston defense that is giving up 270.4 passing yards per game (eighth-worst in NFL).
