Josh Hill Fantasy

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill was only targeted one time in Sunday's preseason win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Hill wasn't spotted at the Saints-Chargers joint practice last Friday, but obviously there is nothing to worry about, as Hill suited up for Sunday's game. Hill should be avoided in fantasy lineups with tight end Jared Cook taking over the starting role. Expect Hill to be used primarily as a blocker this season.

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill is expected to be the team's starting tight end in 2019, according to The New Orleans Times-Picayune's Josh Katzenstein. Veteran Benjamin Watson has retired, so Hill will have more opportunity next season. He caught just 16 passes (24 targets) for 185 yards and a touchdown in a full season in 2018, though, and he has 11 touchdowns in six years in New Orleans. Dan Arnold could factor in as well, so Hill is unlikely to suddenly become fantasy relevant.

The New Orleans Saints signed tight end Josh Hill to a three-year, $8.85 million extension through the 2021 season on Monday, according to sources. While Hill could have a bigger role in 2019 and beyond, he hasn't moved the needle at all in his six years in the league, catching exactly 16 passes in three of the last four seasons. He scored five times in 2014 but has three total touchdowns the last three years for the Saints. Hill won't be on the fantasy radar next fall or in DFS games in the playoffs.
