Saints QB Taysom Hill did individual drills with the tight ends Wednesday according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football.

The Taysom Hill shenanigans will continue in 2021. His inclusion in non-QB offensive situations hurts Trautman and Johnson and will cap their ceilings if Jameis Winston remains the Saints quarterback.

The New Orleans Saints have named Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Winston won the job after a strong performance this past Monday during the Saints' preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Winston is John Paulsen's QB29 at the moment. His passing floor and ceiling were always higher than Hill's, but the role Hill plays in the Saints offense still makes him a potential streamer in Superflex and 2QB leagues.

Ian Rapoport is reporting Jameis Winston is the "leader in the clubhouse" for the Saints starting quarterback spot.

Rapoport said it wasn't just about piling up stats in the game against Jags recently. Rapoport showed a video with throws Winston made, claiming "Drew Brees hasn't been able to make in years." Winston also made the kind of big plays HC Sean Payton "has been dying see," according to Rapoport. Rapoport added if Winston starts, Hill would do similar "gadget stuff" like he's done in the past, which could certainly limit Winston's upside, much like it did with Brees at times last year.

It’s still too soon to say who wins the New Orleans Saints quarterbacks competition, but Sean Payton hopes to have his answer sooner rather than later. NBC Sports’ Peter King reports that a lot is riding on Jameis Winston’s opportunity to run the starting offense on Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, following Taysom Hill’s time with the starters a week ago in Baltimore. King wrote:

“Payton told me he hopes to name his starter before the final preseason game Saturday against Arizona, so Winston’s performance with the first team for multiple series will be the most important game he’s played since he lost his job in 2019 in Tampa Bay.”

The story went on to say: Unlike Hill, Winston should get full exposure with the strongest members of his supporting cast — Payton said last week that the team plans to dress several starters who sat out the preseason opener like Alvin Kamara and bookend tackles Terron Armstead and Ryan Ramczyk. The Times-Picayune Advocate’s Jeff Duncan adds that the Saints are approaching this as “their big preseason tuneup” with most starters expected to rest in the preseason finale with Arizona. At this point, it looks like it could be Winston's job to lose.

Drew Brees finished 15-of-34 for 234 yards and three touchdowns to go with the early pick. In his postgame press conference, he admitted that he was not all the way back to form.

“I think being able to throw the ball good enough and that was kind of a ramp up from last week into early this week and throughout practice,” Brees said. “I still have a little way to go, I’ll be honest. There are some things I am still kind of working on, but it is what it is.”

Brees started the game 0-for-6 with an interception as the Saints fell behind to the Chiefs 14-0. The Saints play the Vikings on Christmas night.

Saints QB Drew Brees will start Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Happy Friday! We think. If Brees is feeling as close to 100% as he can considering the amount of injured ribs he was dealing with, then he could be in the QB1 picture against a susceptible Chiefs defense. There is plenty to be concerned about with a QB that needs to be able to have his torso functioning to complete passes downfield.

Stay tuned to 4for4 for more insight on the return of Brees to the Saints lineup.

Drew Brees initially said he’d be back in “no time” in mid-November. But now that Brees is eligible to come off injured reserve after sitting out three weeks, head coach Sean Payton didn’t sound like a man anticipating his quarterback would be on the field in the near future.

“I honestly wouldn’t be able to give you a time frame,” Payton said, via Katherine Terrell of TheAthletic.com. “He’s like a handful of the other guys that are down there working their tails off to get back healthy, 100 percent, and we’ll kind of see when that is.”

Brees has been out with five cracked ribs and a collapsed lung, but the Saints have continued to look like the NFC’s best team, the story said, as they improved to 10-2 and have clinched a playoff berth. The Saints have reconfigured their offense to best suit Hill with Brees on the mend.

Sean Payton won’t switch course from Taysom Hill after two wins in two starts. He still wants to see how Hill handles the job. And as stated earlier, the game plan shifted to ball control once Denver needed a practice squad wide receiver to play quarterback.

Payton said Hill played exactly how he wanted him too. Hill was only 9-for-16 for 78 yards through the air, but did have 10 carries, 44 yards and two touchdowns. And, Hill is 2-0 as the Saints starting quarterback. While Latavius Murray had a big day, the usual suspects like Thomas and Kamara had their fantasy production hurt by Hill, so those owning Saints may need to use some caution when figuring out lineups. But it also sounds like the Saints changed up their game plan knowing the struggles the Broncos would have at QB.

As the fantasy football regular season winds down, we at ESPN Fantasy would like to alert you to a key positional eligibility change that will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 24: Taysom Hill will have his tight end eligibility taken away and quarterback will become his primary position.

The story said beginning in Week 12, Hill will be eligible at QB only. The change was made for this week and not last week because Hill played the entire game at QB in Week 11 and is expected to continue in that role, at least primarily, until Drew Brees returns as the New Orleans Saints' starting quarterback, the story went on to say.
