I’m going the opposite. Was planning on Hill but just took him out for Tua. Kamara being out worries me as well as unsure if he is fully healthy. I really prefer to see him perform well so I can have confidence starting him next week.Going Hill as my QB2 in superflex over Tua, I think it is the right move. My worst fear is a bad night to start the week on Thursday, but the day of the game should never determine who you start.
I similarly pulled him last minute for Russ. The injuries scared me, and I realized I couldn’t just assume he’d pick up where he left off last year. I need to see it once before I can pull the trigger. But like you I would love to have him as a QB1 for the stretch runskinsrule05 said:I’m going the opposite.

Well that changedThey’re being very conservative with him, but he looks decent. No designed runs so far, which is surprising
Why would you get rid of him? May not be a good NFL QB but a huge fantasy asset. That rushing is a cheat code, much like HurtsSomehow he met expectations with one of the worst performances this year. Back to the waivers Taysom.
Yep. I've seen enough for him to be on bench backing up Rodgers for the playoffs.Why would you get rid of him? May not be a good NFL QB but a huge fantasy asset. That rushing is a cheat code, much like Hurts
picked him up, did not startYep. I've seen enough for him to be on bench backing up Rodgers for the playoffs.
Yeah, I felt super smart for not starting him… at halftime.picked him up, did not start
turrible quarterback quarterback / good runner
at least I blocked those 24 points from anyone else
Precisely. At least that line of thought will soften the blow of yet another Dak dud.at least I blocked those 24 points from anyone else
Taysom Hill completed 19-of-41 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in the Saints' Week 13 loss to Dallas.
Hill was the Saints' featured back with Mark Ingram coming off injury, going for 101 yards on 11 carries, making him the third quarterback this season to run for over 100 yards. When forced to throw, his limitations as a passer were exposed, with one of his interceptions a pick-six thrown directly to a Cowboys' defensive lineman. Hill found a wide open Lil’Jordan Humphrey for a 24-yard touchdown and later hit a 70-yarder on a slant where Deonte Harris broke multiple tackles and outran the entire defense. Hill completed 72% of his passes in four starts last year, but he looked like a receiver playing quarterback this week. Hill's rushing floor and a matchup with the Jets will keep him as a back-end QB1 if he remains the starter in Week 14.

He’s either a rich man’sTebow or a poor man’s Hurts.He's fun to watch. Reminds me of a better throwing Tebow. But this Saints offense is one of the least talented in the league and the line without the tackles stinks.
Interesting match up next week vs the Jets, who have an atrocious run D. But if Kamara is back, can they both produce? I think probably yes
There's always a lot of knee-jerk reactions here, and this is a good take. That team is all 2nd/3rd string on offense, he's got a splint on his throwing hand, four or five drops, Peyton keeps calling passes despite the run game being the only thing working...With his injuries, he's barely played in quite a long time. Against a top defense with a shorthanded offensive line and no Kamara, I'm not sure I would judge him for real life purposes off this one start. I think this is about the worst you could see from him.
With a couple bounces the Saints' way, notably the pass off Stills' hands near the goal line that was intercepted, the Saints might not have been playing from behind all night.
It was a roller coaster ride but I think I made the right decision. 21 points, Tua has a decent floor but doubt he gets 21+. The -8 for 4 interceptions was frustrating but the Jets are up next week, he will be a QB1.skinsrule05 said:I’m going the opposite. Was planning on Hill but just took him out for Tua.

Wow:
”Most fantasy points by a QB with under 50% completion rate and 4+ picks:
1. Kyle Mackey (1987) - 26.62
2. Taysom Hill (2021) - 24.66
3. George Blanda (1962) - 23.20
4. Jay Schroeder (1988) - 20.36
5. Jim Ninowski (1960) - 20.18
He's just from another time.”
What was it like to be at that game??box score of Ninowski‘s 3 TD 5 INT game
Including this solely for the awesomeness of NFL logos circa 1960
I probably should have started him over Cousins. Hill is not really a QB for the NFL but he should be a QB1 in FF. This rushing yards are significant and the Saints don’t have much choice but to run Hill. If his finger heals and he gets back some of the o line and Kamara, I will have the confidence to start him moving forward. It may be best not to watch though. It’s not pretty.His first game back and he throws up 24 against a strong defense. No way am I throwing him back to waivers.

#Saints QB Taysom Hill is feared to have suffered a torn tendon in his middle finger that may necessitate surgery at some point, sources say. More tests are coming. The injury, called Mallet Finger, was one of the ailments that #Seahawks QB Russell Wilson had earlier in the year.
His record says otherwise. He’s not the ideal QB, but he was undefeated before last night.He's fine for FF purposes but the Saints won't be winning anything with him as their starter.
Hill lost to the Eagles last year. Bridgewater was the one who was undefeated as Saints QB.His record says otherwise. He’s not the ideal QB, but he was undefeated before last night.
Fair enough. The point remains the same. And as a Saints fan, I don’t want him under center.Hill lost to the Eagles last year. Bridgewater was the one who was undefeated as Saints QB.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Taysom Hill will try to play through his finger injury.
Hill is dealing with a mallet finger injury, the same injury which cost Russell Wilson several games earlier this season. It reportedly is not as severe, however, and will not require surgery. Whether Hill will be able to play through it is another question. Considering his fantasy value falls much more with his rushing than passing ability, Hill should continue to put up fantasy points even while limited as a thrower, but the risk for an in-game setback will be high.
