Saints Beat: Team won't make QB change

Nov 30, 2020

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.

Related players: Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara

Fantasy Impact:

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.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

Adam Schefter

2 hours ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

— The 49ers ruled out LT Trent Williams (ankle) and S Malik Mustapha (chest), but RB Isaac Guerendo (foot) is questionable. So is Dre Greenlaw, who was full today.
— The Rams ruled out TE Tyler Higbee (knee) and Cobie Durant (chest).

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
