Taysom Hill News
New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is rehabbing at the team's facilities during mandatory minicamp this week. Hill had surgery to fix a Lisfranc injury in his left foot in January and was expected to miss six to nine months, so he remains up in the air for the start of the regular season. Hill has made 17 starts under center for the Saints the last two years due to injuries to Drew Brees and Jameis Winston, but Winston will be fully recovered from his ACL tear last year and is the Saints unquestioned starting QB, so Hill will spend most of his time transitioning to tight end in 2022. The 31-year-old has impressive playmaking ability with the ball in his hands, but he'll be competing with Adam Trautman, Nick Vannett and Juwan Johnson and isn't worthy of a fantasy pick currently.
New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill appears to have a position for next season, and it's not under center. Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that Hill is expected to focus on the tight end spot, with Jameis Winston (knee), Ian Book, and Blake Bortles all currently in the quarterback room. New Orleans won seven of the nine games that Hill started over the past two seasons, but the 31-year-old scuffled last year with just a 58.2% completion percentage. While the Saints are still likely to utilize Hill's unique skill set in myriad fashions, the move simply shifts his preparation to pass catcher, rather than pass thrower. He is likely on the outside looking in of fantasy draft relevance at this stage, but he's undoubtedly a name to monitor throughout the year due to his track record.
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is expected to undergo surgery for the Lisfranc injury that he suffered to his left foot on Sunday in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. Hill is also expected to need a smaller follow-up surgery, and there is no specific timetable for his return. The 31-year-old will have the offseason to heal up after the Saints were eliminated from postseason contention in the Week 18 regular season finale. Hill played in 12 games (nine starts) in 2021, going 78-for-134 (58.2%) for 978 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. He also ran the ball 70 times for 374 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and five more TDs. If he's the Saints starting QB to open the 2022 season, he'll be a low-end streaming option on a weekly basis because of his rushing ability, but he could be in for another competition this summer.
