New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill saw work both on the ground and through the air with Alvin Kamara (ankle) missing Week 18's win. Hill carried the ball six times for 51 yards, ripping off a game-long 27-yarder. He also caught all four targets for 28 yards. The versatile playmaker lined up all over the field, helping the Saints pick apart the Atlanta defense for 48 points. New Orleans will now await the result of both the Green Bay and Seattle games as he Saints hold onto hopes of sneaking into the playoffs.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill saw a slightly increased role in Week 17 as he continued to work his way back from injury, scoring his second receiving touchdown of the season. With Alvin Kamara (ankle) not practicing all week and Juwan Johnson (chest) also banged up, the opportunity for Hill to get involved both on the ground and through the air should arise. The Atlanta Falcons surrender 20.3 points per game to opponents, ranking ninth-best in the league. Hill offers upside due to potential increased usage, but the statuses of Kamara and Johnson should be monitored before plugging him into lineups.

New Orleans Saints gadget player Taysom Hill carved out a role in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finding the endzone for the sixth time this season. Hill completed 1-of-2 passes for 11 yards, carried the ball twice for one yard, and caught both targets for 30 yards and a touchdown. While it was not his most productive day yardage-wise, Hill salvaged his fantasy day with a touchdown. He will be a low-floor, high-ceiling play in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Jan 1, 2024 11:00 AM EST
New Orleans Saints gadget player Taysom Hill has seen a limited role since returning from injury. Hill played 19% of snaps in Week 15 and 17% of snaps in Week 16, totaling just four touches. In a must-win Week 17 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it remains unclear just how involved Hill will be in New Orleans' gameplan. The Swiss army knife has been a fantasy goldmine at times, but the unpredictable nature of his boom games makes him far too risky of an option to insert into lineups during championship week. Look elsewhere for a tight end in championship week.
Dec 29, 2023 12:21 PM EST
New Orleans Saints offensive weapon Taysom Hill was quiet in his return to action last week, but hopes to have more of an impact as the Saints gear up to take on the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night in a game with significant playoff implications. Hill's usage is tough to project on a week-to-week basis, but now that he is off the injury report he will likely see more than the 19% of snaps he saw a week ago. Hill is a high-end TE2 this week with a high ceiling and a low floor. The Rams have surrendered 25.3 points per game in their last three games, meaning there will be opportunities for the Swiss army knife to find the end zone.
Dec 20, 2023 4:10 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) returned from a one-game absence in Week 15's contest against the New York Giants but had a very limited role in the easy 24-6 victory on Sunday. Hill played just 19 percent of the offensive snaps, his fewest since Week 1, carrying the ball only once for one yard and catching his only target for a four-yard gain. The 33-year-old was eased back into the fold in a game in which the Saints didn't really need to do much on offense to come out on top. The 33-year-old should be more involved moving forward and has been a key contributor on the ground for New Orleans in 2023, but this is another reminder that the Swiss Army Knife is prone to letdowns in his hybrid role.
Dec 18, 2023 1:08 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday after two straight limited practices and was removed from the final Week 15 injury report. Hill missed the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers but will now return to face the visiting New York Giants this Sunday. And with top wideout Chris Olave (ankle) a game-time decision, Hill could be looking at a heavy workload for the Saints offense in a good matchup. The 33-year-old will resume his hybrid role all over the field, mainly as a runner, but more targets could be headed his way if Olave is unable to play. Fantasy managers should consider Hill a low-end TE1 this weekend with more upside if Olave is out.
Dec 15, 2023 3:33 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) is trending towards a return in Week 15 against the New York Giants following his absence in the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Hill has had two straight limited practices this week. The 33-year-old veteran continues to be a Swiss Army Knife for the Saints, being used out of the backfield and as a pass-catcher. He had a season-high 13 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions and could be used even more through the air this weekend if top wideout Chris Olave (ankle) is unable to move past his ankle injury. The matchup against the G-Men is a nice one and Hill is trending up as at least a low-end TE1 option for fantasy managers in Week 15 if he's able to play.
Dec 14, 2023 4:12 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) was able to practice with the team on Wednesday as they get set to play the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 15. It's not a guarantee that Hill will play after sitting out the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers, but it's a good sign nonetheless. The Saints continue to use Hill as a Swiss Army Knife all over the field in 2023, and he has 346 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground and a career-high 26 receptions for 229 yards through the air. He's also completed five passes for 72 yards and a TD. Before his injuries, Hill had 367 scrimmage yards and five TDs in the previous five games. The 33-year-old can do it all, but he's been a boom/bust low-end TE1 option for fantasy managers this year.
Dec 13, 2023 4:09 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (foot, left hand) and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (thigh) are inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the wrong direction. Hill missed practice all look long and gives New Orleans invaluable versatility when healthy. He's impossible to replace, but Alvin Kamara should claim the bulk of his carries. Meanwhile, Shaheed is out for a second consecutive week. A.T. Perry will earn more snaps in his absence, though Chris Olave is the only Saints receiver worth rostering in fantasy football.
Dec 10, 2023 11:32 AM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (foot, left hand) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week. Hill has been a solid contributor on offense this season, totaling 226 rushing yards, 213 receiving yards, and five touchdowns over his last seven games. Juwan Johnson (quad) will operate as the Saints' No. 1 tight end but severely lacks Hill's versatility and playmaking style.
Dec 10, 2023 7:57 AM EST
New Orleans Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (foot, left hand) and Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) are questionable to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Hill didn't practice at all this week and it seems as though he faces an uphill battle to suit up. Nevertheless, the Saints are leaving the door open for him to play. Johnson, on the other hand, was a limited participant and could be a game-time decision. Of the two, Hill is the only one who should be started with confidence in fantasy football (if he plays, of course). The added benefit of starting him is that he could also log some reps at quarterback.
Dec 8, 2023 4:59 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback/running back Taysom Hill (foot, hand) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hill is looking pretty questionable to play this weekend against the Carolina Panthers unless he returns to the practice field on Friday. The 33-year-old Swiss Army Knife had a season-high 13 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions, but he's been a pretty volatile fantasy asset in an inconsistent Saints offense all year, and now he could miss Week 14 action. If Hill does play, though, and quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, rib, shoulder) is inactive, he could see a much larger package as a QB/RB for the Saints offense. As a fantasy tight end, he's shaping up as a risky low-end TE1.
Dec 7, 2023 6:52 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) is dealing with multiple injuries this week and wasn't able to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Hill is now in danger of missing the Week 14 contest against the Carolina Panthers unless he can get back on the practice field in the next two days. The 33-year-old Swiss Army Knife in the Saints offense has had a wide range of outcomes in a hybrid role in 2023, making him an infuriating fantasy asset. He saw a season-high 13 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Detroit Lions, also catching two passes for 15 yards. Hill saw nine carries for 75 yards in the first meeting with Carolina in Week 2. He's seen most of his work as a rusher, with four of his five TDs on the year coming on the ground. If Hill is unable to play this weekend, it will most likely just mean an even bigger workload for running back Alvin Kamara.
Dec 6, 2023 8:10 PM EST
New Orleans Saints offensive weapon Taysom Hill generated a strong fantasy output on Sunday in the 33-28 loss to Detroit. Hill rushed 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while also hauling in two receptions for 15 yards. He attempted two passes but did not complete either attempt. Given his fantasy position of tight end, fantasy managers who started Hill had to be happy with his performance. He should remain in TE1 territory next week against Carolina.
Dec 3, 2023 4:43 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has been up-and-down this season, with his usage varying on a week-by-week basis. Hill has seen work on the ground as well as through the air in 2023 and should continue to see significant enough volume for fantasy purposes in Week 13 against Detroit with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) unlikely to play and Chris Olave (concussion) still in concussion protocol. Hill ranks as a low-end TE1 for Week 13 and can be started with six teams on bye.
Dec 1, 2023 10:35 AM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill was involved in the game plan both on the ground and through the air on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill rushed seven times for 26 yards while also catching two passes for 55 yards. Hill fumbled once, turning the ball over after a 10-yard rush. With weapons Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) both leaving the game, Hill remained one of the heavier-used players on the offense. Monitor the health of Olave and Shaheed throughout the week, as Hill would likely see an uptick in volume against Detroit next Sunday if both Olave and Shaheed remain sidelined.
Nov 26, 2023 4:38 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill had been on a four-week streak of 12+ PPR points before a Week 10 dud against Minnesota, proving that he is a volatile option at the position. While Hill still saw four targets in the loss, his rushing upside was severely capped with just a single rushing attempt. That being said, game script plays a huge role in Hill's usage. In a divisional clash against Atlanta that is expected to be close, Hill can be trusted in the tight end slot given his high ceiling and various ways to score fantasy points. Beware his low floor, but don't be afraid to go chasing after his high ceiling at a position with limited trustworthy options.
Nov 24, 2023 10:44 AM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill was seldom involved in Week 10's loss to Minnesota. The veteran gadget player only carried the ball once, gaining six yards. He was targeted four times, grabbing two receptions for 17 yards. Given that New Orleans was playing from behind, Hill's rushing usage was capped as the team heavily passed the ball. The game snapped Hill's three-game streak of TE1 production. New Orleans heads into bye week on top of the NFC South at 5-5. Hill will return to action in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Nov 12, 2023 10:29 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has now rattled off four straight weeks of TE1 production. The 33-year-old gadget player has seen action as a wildcat quarterback, a running back, a receiver, and a tight end. He has solidified himself a niche role in New Orleans' offensive gameplan and continues to cut into red zone work, leading to touchdowns. Against a weak Minnesota Vikings defense, Hill should be confidently inserted into starting lineups. He will remain a part of the game plan and likely will have enough red zone volume to put together another respectable fantasy performance.
