Taysom Hill News
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said he expects quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill to compete for the starting quarterback job in 2021 after Drew Brees announced his retirement this week. Hill has been impressive for his versatility, but his viability as a full-time starter under center seems less appealing with Brees now retired. Winston, although turnover-prone in his career, has intriguing upside as the starter. Hill took the job when Brees was injured in 2020 because of his experience and the fact that Winston hadn't been with the team for a full calendar year. Winston, the former No. 1 overall pick, probably has the advantage in the competition, and he could have some QB1 upside in this offense if he wins the job this summer.
The New Orleans Saints will be without running back Latavius Murray (quad) and tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) for Sunday's Divisional Round matchup versus the Buccaneers. Murray's absence means that Alvin Kamara will be in line for a whopping workload as the Saints' RB1, while Hill's means that Jameis Winston will be the team's unquestioned backup QB should Drew Brees need to depart for any reason. Murray will miss his first game of the year due to injury, having been ruled out in Week 17 due to COVID-19 contact concerns. The next chance that either Murray or Hill will have at taking the field comes next Sunday if the team were to advance to the NFC Championship Game in Green Bay.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) and running back Latavius Murray (quad) are both unlikely to play Sunday night against Tampa Bay. That's good news for Saints running back Alvin Kamara, as Hill is always a threat to vulture a rushing touchdown, and Murray's replacement -- either Dwayne Washington or Ty Montgomery -- won't siphon off as much work from Kamara. This is still a tough matchup, but Kamara is worth his DFS salary.
