BALLER MOVE: Consider in 12+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1/2, dependent on format
ANALYSIS: Listen to what coaches have to say. Throughout training camp, Dennis Allen (when he's not bashing Kendre Miller) has propped up Taysom Hill as one of New Orleans' best offensive weapons.
#Saints HC Dennis Allen on Taysom Hill:
“How many football players have you guys seen that are like Taysom Hill? That do all the different things that he does. It’s certainly obviously very unique. And I’m glad we have that skill set on our team that we can hopefully continue to… pic.twitter.com/XuRjZSKZ8O

On most platforms, fantasy football managers can play Hill at tight end. Anyone who watches football knows he does way more than block and catch passes.
He tallied 81 rush attempts for 401 yards and four touchdowns last season. He also completed six passes for 81 yards and a score (but don't start him as your fantasy quarterback). His production led to the TE12 finish in PPR and an even better TE7 in non-PPR formats.
What's stopping Allen from utilizing Hill even more in short-yardage and goal-to-go situations? The aforementioned Miller is on IR and won't play the first four weeks. Jamaal Williams is the current backup to Alvin Kamara. The former averaged 2.9 yards per carry and registered a 39.6% rush success rate. Hill may be the backup running back.
Expect to see Hill here, there, and everywhere against the Panthers. In non-PPR leagues, his touchdown chances and rush attempts give him an edge over other low-end TE1 options like Dallas Goedert, Dalton Schultz, and Pat Freiermuth.
