Why Taysom Hill is a must-see for Fantasy Football owners

Sports Illustrated fantasy football guru Lindsay Rhodes believes Saints versatile player Taysom Hill is a “must-play player” for the remainder of the season. That much is clear to anyone who has watched this Saints team over the years.

Rhodes said: “What’s happening with Taysom Hill right now is he’s a guy who can do a bunch of things, and they need him to do all those things. Because they have so few truly healthy assets. So Taysom is going to do it. be on the ground. Taysom is going to play a big role in this offense either way.

Fantasy owners may not get more than 40 points per game, but he will be an interesting play until the end of the season for New Orleans. If you have it, PLAY IT!

An old stat was given by one of the media outlets years ago, but any time #7 touches the ball more than 10 times per game, New Orleans wins! Cynical fantasy Saints owners are probably wondering, “Why didn’t a certain head coach get the memo?” Well, he did that in the first two games of 2024. Hill’s injuries kept him from playing.

Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said it best: Taysom Hill is “the epitome of resilience.” The Saints offense can’t be effective without Alvin Kamara, but it becomes explosive with Taysom Hill.

In Week 11, Hill racked up 138 rushing yards, scored three touchdowns and made eight receptions for 50 receiving yards.

RECOMMENDATION: PLAY TAYSOM HILL AT FLEX! ESPN Fantasy projects him to score 13 fantasy points against the Rams in Week 13.

Next up, the Los Angeles Rams. If you noticed Saquan Barkley’s 255 rushing yards on 25 carries, with Kamara and Hill in the Saints backfield, it should be a long day for the Rams defense. Give Hill the fantasy nod on Sunday.
