Taysom Hill Fantasy

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.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is dealing with a Lisfranc injury. Hill is questionable to return for the second half of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons. Lisfranc injuries typically require lengthy absences, especially for a player like Hill that uses his legs as a big part of his game. Before leaving the game in the first half, Hill went 7-for-9 passing for 107 yards and a touchdown and carried the ball five times for an additional 18 yards. It seems unlikely that we'll see Hill return to this must-win game, and if New Orleans gets into the playoffs with a win and a 49ers loss, Hill will be fighting an uphill battle to play in the wild-card round next week. Trevor Siemian entered the game with Hill injured and has gone 5-for-9 for 35 yards and two touchdowns.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill went 17-for-28 for 222 yards and one touchdown along with rushing 12 times for 45 yards in Sunday's win over Carolina. Hill was decent in both the rushing and passing game, something he hasn't been able to do much of this season. The QB brings solid dual-threat value to the field and that makes his fantasy value decent. Hill should be considered a great streaming option in the season finale against Atlanta, a team that allows the third-most fantasy points to QBs.
