Taysom Hill Fantasy

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill finished by going 11-for-20 for 138 yards and one touchdown in Monday's preseason win over the Jaguars. Hill redeemed himself from last week's abysmal performance where he had 81 yards and one pick. The QB is competing with Jameis Winston for the starting job and both players were more effective on Monday after ineffective showings by both last week. This keeps the Saints' QB situation still complicated, meaning this Saturday's preseason finale tilt against the Cardinals looms large for Hill to make a final push for the starting job.

It appears we're in for a real quarterback competition in New Orleans, with Saints head coach Sean Payton saying that Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill will swap reps daily as the first-team QB. Winston's received the most praise so far in camp, but Hill's still a clear threat to Winston in the battle for the starting role. For fantasy purposes, both players have upside if they win the job, but both also come with one clear downside: the possibility that the Saints wind up using both guys under center during the regular season. NFL teams don't use committee approaches at the position, but we all know how much Payton loves to put Hill in the game.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is in contention for the starting role this season after Drew Brees retired in the offseason. Hill will compete with Jameis Winston. The 30-year-old has played three seasons with the Saints and has famously been employed as a "jack of all trades" player who can play various positions. Last season, Hill finished with 928 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, two picks, 87 rushes for 457 yards and eight rush touchdowns, along with eight receptions for 98 yards and a score on 12 targets in 16 games. Clearly, Hill is talented enough to play many different roles but whether he can be a successful starting QB throughout a full season remains to be seen. If he does end up being the starter, he would be in the low-end QB2 tier.
