BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ANALYSIS: Taysom Hill has carved out a solid role for himself as the ultimate "Swiss Army Knife" player ever since joining the Saints in 2017, and now he has been one of the best players in fantasy football over the past few weeks.
Expectations were high for Hill after he finished as the overall TE3 (standard format) in 2022 only behind Travis Kelce and George Kittle, but he started the season off slowly apart from one solid performance in Week 2.

Throughout the first five weeks, Hill averaged just 2.9 fantasy points per game and was ranked as the TE28, but after catching seven passes for 49 yards in Week 6 and finishing as the overall TE12, he has been on fire.
Since Week 6 he has been the overall TE1, and he has averaged 17 fantasy points per game over his last three games. His total of 50.9 points over that span ranks him as the 14th-best fantasy player in the NFL, and the third-best non-QB on that list.
It's no coincidence that ever since the Saints started to feature Hill more in the offense, Derek Carr's numbers have improved considerably. The Saints will face some weak defensive teams in the coming weeks, as they'll go up against the Vikings (18th in the least points allowed per drive), the Panthers (30th), the Giants (16th), and the Rams (23rd). The Giants and Rams games will be during the playoffs too, so if Hill is available, he'll be a solid contributor.
