PFT: Saints are saving QB Taysom Hill

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.

Fantasy Impact: 

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.
