Taysom Hill Fantasy Football Outlook
Hill's rest-of-season fantasy football outlook is highly volatile, but he remains an intriguing option due to his unique role in the Saints' offense. Once he returns from his rib injury, Hill’s usage will likely continue to be a mix of running back, tight end, and quarterback.
His ability to score touchdowns in unconventional ways, whether through short-yardage runs, trick plays, or gadget formations, gives him weekly boom potential, especially in deeper leagues.
Hill's involvement is often unpredictable, and his fantasy managers will need to accept the risk of low-floor games. His usage as a tight end remains limited, so in PPR leagues, his value is capped unless he scores a touchdown. Overall, he’s best viewed as a boom-or-bust TE2 or Flex play, with upside during weeks when the Saints get creative or face favorable matchups in the red zone.
Fantasy managers shouldn't rely on consistent production from such an unpredictable player. In three games this season, Hill has logged 14 carries for 77 yards and two touchdowns, with just two catches for two yards. If he plays in Week 8, Hill will be a highly risky flex or TE2 option.
