Why Taysom Hill is a must for fantasy football owners

Sports Illustrated’s fantastic football thinks guru Lindsay Rhodes Sanctify All-rounder Taysom Hill is a “player to add” for the rest of the season. That much is clear to anyone who has watched this Saints team over the years.

Rhodes said“The thing with Taysom Hill right now is he’s a guy who can do a lot of things and they need him to do all those things. Because they have so few assets that are actually healthy. So Taysom will be active. Taysom will be a big part of this offense.

Fantasy owners might not get the massive 40+ points per game, but he’ll be a useful play until the season is over for New Orleans. If you have it, PLAY IT!

An old stat was given by one of the outlets years ago, but whenever #7 touches the football more than 10 times a game, New Orleans wins! Cynical Saints fantasy owners are probably wondering, “Why didn’t he get a certain head coach?” Well, he did in the first two games of 2024. Hill’s injuries kept him off the field.

Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said it’s the best – Taysom Hill is the “poster child for resilience.” The Saints offense can’t be effective without Alvin Kamara, but it becomes explosive with Taysom Hill.

In Week 11, Hill accumulated 138 rushing yards, scored three touchdowns and made eight receptions for 50 receiving yards.

RECOMMENDATION: PLAY TAYSOM HILL AT FLEX! ESPN Fantasy projects him to score 13 fantasy points against the Rams in Week 13.

Next up, the Los Angeles Rams. If you noticed Saquan Barkley’s 255 rushing yards on 25 carries, with Kamara and Hill in the Saints backfield, it should be a long day for the Rams defense. Give Hill the fantasy nod on Sunday.
