The biggest fantasy football question mark throughout the entire league was answered last week when the NFL released a statement, announcing that Kansas City wide receiver Tyreek Hill would not be suspended for off-field issues involving his son and his son's mother. There are other places that you can go to learn more about this story, but we're going to focus here about the fantasy impact this has for 2019.
Love him or hate him Tyreek Hill has now proven to be an elite fantasy asset in back to back seasons, both with Alex Smith and a first-year starter in Patrick Mahomes. Hill's unbelievable combination of strength, speed and explosiveness makes him practically uncontainable for even the best NFL defenses. He finished as the No.4 fantasy wide receiver in 2017 and many believed that his crazy efficiency would almost certainly mean that he'd drop down a bit in 2018. That didn't happen, though, as Hill increased his target total while maintaining his efficiency, which led to him finishing as the top-scoring wide receiver in non-PPR fantasy scoring.
Now without a potential suspension looming, Hill is free to return to the Chiefs with a clear mind and a fresh slate. That should be terrifying to NFL defenses but extremely exciting for fantasy players.
There will of course be extra scrutiny on anything that Hill does off the field for the foreseeable future and any sort of transgression could certainly lead to a significant suspension, so there is some added risk with Hill, but it's also worth noting that everything coming out of Chiefs camp seems to be that he's been a model citizen as of late.
Some fantasy owners will simply refuse to draft Hill based on the accusations about his misconduct, but those who do take a chance on him will almost certainly be showered with fantasy points this season. Hill's ADP is back on the rise and it won't be long before he's being selected near the top five at the position again.

WR Demarcus Robinson staying in Kansas City
One-year contract

|  | Demarcus Robinson will be returning to the Chiefs on a one-year contract. So if Choiefs keep Sammy Watkins rather than release him, their top four WRs from last season ae back. (Adam Teicher on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Robinson did his fantasy damage early in the 2019 season while Tyreek Hill on the sidelines including a 6-172-2 line against the Raiders in Week 2. After that, he never topped 56 receiving yards in any game. He's off the fantasy radar unless injuries occur to the receiving corps in Kansas City.
