QB Taysom Hill, NO (1 Viewer)

[Faust]

Saints upgraded Taysom Hill (knee) to a full participant on Thursday.

Whatever concerns the Saints had over Hill’s knee appear to be minor at best. Wednesday marked the first time Hill was on the injury report this season, and he was back practicing in full after just one limited session. Hill has a chance to earn work both on the ground and through the air with Jamaal Williams (hamstring) sidelined for the foreseeable future. As a result, those who can start Hill as a tight end could benefit from a potentially high-volume day.

Everything lined up this past week for a Hill week. Now with Kamara back it's back to the wire buddy.

Which if you read my Cycle of Taysom Hill analysis a few pages back… is when he explodes for 3 TDs (one passing, one rushing, and one receiving that he threw to himself) after your buddy picks him up 5 minutes before kickoff and starts him against you.

Dennis Allen said there was no consideration of moving to Taysom Hill at QB this week.

Juwan Johnson ruled out.

Short week, more TE snaps??

Flex worthy?

With Johnson out, as a full-time TE streamer I have no hesitation jumping on Hill this week.

Tempted to put him in flex.

Desperate.

Dont do this to me. So easy to convince myself to start this dude. So easy to make that mistake.

 

[grateful zed]

starting him because of necessity.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

starting him because of necessity.

Yeah half my team is either on bye or injured so why not.

1 rushing TD and 68 total yards, I'll take it.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

I also gambled.

1 rushing TD and 68 total yards, I'll take it.

And yes, I will also take it. Sad reality is that he's in contention for TE1 overall with this stat line.

 

[jobarules]

Is this guy a slot receiver now

 

[FarFromHome]

Analysing Taysom Hill is no different then analyzing fantasy kickers.

 

[dmac37]

Hill looking better this year than he ever has, looking legit both rushing and receiving

 

[Runkle]

Is this guy a slot receiver now

He's actually being used as a normal TE. He's out there running normal routes on some plays. Wild!

 

[FarFromHome]

He also appears to be the best 4th and short option. That's huge.

 

[VikingFrog]

TE10 on the year in my .5 PPR scoring format.

Yet he’s still consistently on the wire.

It’s funny how nobody trusts this guy, even if he’s starting to feel more consistent. I don’t trust him!

His projections in yahoo are usually in the 2-3 range, yet he’s put up 9, 15, 22 points the last 3 weeks.

 

[zamboni]

Just when we thought we were out, Taysom drags us back in.

Yeah I'm thinking, this point in the season, if you're trolling the waiver wire for a TE, what are you getting really? A guy projected for 5 points, you're not surprised if he only scores you 3, and you accept he might score a 0 but you're just hoping for a random chance at a touchdown. If that's your threshold, why not just go with Taysom? He's got that floor but so much more space above in his ceiling.

The incredibly crazy scenario where something happens to Carr AND Jameis is enticing as well.

 

[JAA]

His productivity seems very volatile. I would like to see a little more consistency before I start him on a regular basis.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Current top 6 TEs in my MFL league

Andrews
Kelce
LaPorta
Hill
Hockenson
Kittle

Not saying start him. But his consistency seems to be going up every week the past 3 weeks.

that's how he gets you.

He's the perfect Best Ball TE. You never know when its coming, but he seems to have at least 5-6 really big games every year. I just bought him and Engram today in one of my PPR SF Dynasty Best Ball Leagues for a 2nd next year. Feel like between him and Engram they are easy worth it.

Yes. But even in basic redraft you are still getting a high ceiling at a discount price. Good for those that don't want to spend an early pick on someone like Kelce but instead invest that high pick on a WR or RB.

 

[FantasyGuru24]

Baller …

 

[Dez]

If only he was a TE still in the FFPC like I drafted him all offseason like how I kept him through the 14 position player cutdown in the dynasty leagues.

 

[VikingFrog]

Baller …

Started Pitts over him and lost by 4.

Point to the shirt.

I have pain.

I am stupid.

Ready to start him next week and get the classic Taysom zero.

 

[C-Bound]

His usage is going nowhere. My only concern is I have 3 Saints on offense (Hill, Olave, Kamara)

I’ve got Hill and Shaheed .. I kinda like that combo.

 

[DirtyCashDylan]

These past few weeks sure make him feel like a league winning WW pickup. in dynasty anyway

Hope this continues.

He'll even be my QB bye week fill in with Cousins going down.

 

[ZADO]

Yahoo had his projections at under 3 points

 

[Galileo]

Taysom Hill is one of only 4 players in league history to have at least 10 TDs passing, rushing, and receiving. The other 3 are in the Hall of Fame.

I somewhat expected Tomlinson to be on that list. Turns out that he has 7.

Scott Barrett
Over the last 4 weeks, Taysom Hill has…

+ more *rushing* fantasy points than Alvin Kamara, Bijan Robinson

+ more *receiving* fantasy points than Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, Calvin Ridley

+ more *passing* fantasy points than Brett Rypien, Malik Willis

Saints Should Heavily Feature Taysom Hill Vs. Falcons

Atlanta Falcons' Arthur Smith Must Navigate 'Unique' New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill

 

[TampaMike19]

What do we project for this guy? Still seems high risk but MT being out helps him with intermediate targets

 

[Shrugs]

What do we project for this guy? Still seems high risk but MT being out helps him with intermediate targets

Either 4 or 20.

 

[efactor]

What do we project for this guy? Still seems high risk but MT being out helps him with intermediate targets

Either 4 or 20.

Pretty much

 

[ZADO]

What do we project for this guy? Still seems high risk but MT being out helps him with intermediate targets

Either 4 or 20.

Based on his history vs Atlanta id say closer to 20

• 4 passing touchdowns, 4 rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown
• Completing 76% of his passes (57/75)
• 7.2 yards per carry as a rusher
• 1 blocked punt
• 1 tackle

 

[Down Under]

Taysom Hill (foot/hand) did not practice Wednesday.

Hill is coming off a season-high in carries. He rushed 13 times for 59 yards and a score in Week 13. Head coach Dennis Alen said the team will monitor Hill throughout the week. If Hill were to miss time, more goal line opportunities would be open for the pass-catchers and Alvin Kamara. As Hill doesn’t play a traditional tight end role, his absence wouldn’t change much for Juwan Johnson.

He was on the injury report last month and played , im sure hes good, just rest it

 

[grateful zed]

anybody heard anything?

 

[VikingFrog]

No practice and game time decision, so should hear tomorrow before kick.

Even if he plays, it’s a pretty physical role he plays in that offense (not that all nfl positions aren’t physical).

I would just be nervous that his touches are dialed back a bit. So I’m looking at other options.

Yea, I agree. Even if he’s active it’s risky this week - his volume is sketchy even when healthy.

Leaning Njoku or Brevin Jordan instead.

 

[Bri]

Not expected to play per Schefter but FF sites haven't updated yet

 

[FarFromHome]

Never cheer for injuries, but as a Kamara and Olave owner, not having to watch Hill come in and score tds isnt horrible to me.
