PFT: Saints are saving QB Taysom Hill

Sep 22, 2020

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.

Related players: Drew Brees, Jameis Winston

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.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
