Believe it or not, New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has been the TE3 in half-PPR leagues since Week 7. The versatile veteran trails only T.J. Hockenson and Trey McBride in total fantasy points during that span, and he has been more productive than Travis Kelce and George Kittle -- seriously.
Unfortunately, Hill is in the injury headlines heading into Week 14, meaning fantasy managers might have to pivot at the toughest position to navigate in fantasy football. We have his latest update.
Is Hill playing in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers? Let's dive in.

Is Taysom Hill Playing in Week 14?
Hill (foot, left hand) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week. Meanwhile, Juwan Johnson, who is also listed as questionable, is expected to suit up.
With Hill likely out of action, running back Alvin Kamara or Jamaal Williams should see more short-yardage rushing opportunities. Although Hill is listed as a tight end, his production is largely based on his rushing role.
Taysom Hill Fantasy Football Outlook
If Hill surprisingly suits up, he's a must-start given his recent production. However, Juwan Johnson, Jimmy Graham, and Foster Moreau should all see more snaps if he's out, as well as the aforementioned Jamaal Williams.
It's difficult to figure out who the biggest beneficiaries of his absence are but those four players should have better chances to be fantasy-relevant in Week 14. Ultimately, Derek Carr's multiple injuries could lower the ceiling and floors of all of the players around him.
Kamara is a must-start for the Saints, and Chris Olave always has upside, but every other Saints' player is in danger of posting a dud this week.
