Saints QB Taysom Hill will start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week. Jameis Winston will back up Hill.

Hill was also the player who received more money from the Saints this offseason. This is not official, but Schefter is giving us a huge piece of the Week 11 fantasy puzzle with this news.

Saints’ QB Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung on the right side.

Reports said HC Sean Payton is not announcing a starter for Sunday or Brees’ status at this time, but this is obviously worth monitoring as Brees is going to miss time. Winston took over for Brees, but Hill is also lurking as a possible candidate. Even if Winston starts, it's possible Hill gets more involved in the offense with Brees out. Hill is probably worth an add even if the Saints wait until later in the week to make the announcement, as Hill is considered a tight end by hosts like ESPN. Although, perhaps his position changes if he's named the starting QB.

Brees will have an MRI for cartilage damage Monday, the tweet added. Sources tell Rapoport that New Orleans is bracing for Brees to miss some time to fully heal. Winston took over for Brees in the second half and seems likely to get the start in Week 11. It's possible Hill gets even more involved in the offense going forward which could end up hindering any possible fantasy value Winston would have in the offense.

It sure feels like Sean Payton has begun finding the right mix for Taysom Hill the last couple of weeks.

There was a report a few weeks ago that maybe the Saints were ready to make the switch to Hill at QB because they team wasn't using him nearly the way they were last year - meaning maybe they were saving Hill. The story said Hill’s slow start this season pushed many people to call for an end to the Hill experiment, but over the last two weeks here are his numbers: Week 8 Hill had a 5-35-0 rushing line and a 2-30-1 receiving line. Last week, Hill had seven rushes for 54 yards and a catch for 21 yards - so 15 touches over the last two weeks. He's listed as a TE in many leagues so it's worth monitoring.

What are the Saints doing with Taysom Hill?

As noted last week, his participation in offense and special teams dropped noticeably from the playoff loss to Week 1. In Week 2, Hill’s involvement dropped ever further.

The story suggests Hill is likely to take over for Brees after this season, but it also doesn't rule out Brees heading to the bench this season if the team's current play continues on the same track. The story suggests the reason Hill's workload is down this year compared to the playoffs last season is maybe the Saints don't want to get Hill hurt, which means they may be planning to replace Brees with Hill at some point, maybe even sooner than later. The team did sign Jameis Winston in the offseason. If you haven't noticed by now, Hill is actually listed as a TE in many fantasy leagues, so Hill may be worth adding to your roster just to see how this plays out over the next couple of weeks.

Sources tell Yahoo Sports the #Saints are finalizing a 1-year deal with free agent QB Jameis Winston. New Orleans hopes to continue maximizing Taysom Hill's versatility on gameday while mitigating some risk in exposing Drew Brees' backup to injury.

Jameis Winston was QB5 in fantasy points last season and will now back up Drew Brees in New Orleans. It's probably not what the 26-year old had in mind for the 2020 season, but there's a lot to like for the future.
