But would you ever start him? He seems pretty great in Bestball but not sure in redraft I'd ever confidently have him over my TE1 in there.

QB Taysom Hill, NO (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter SaintsInDome2006
- Start date
When things get sketchy during bye weeks, he'd be a possibility without doubt.

Not cool & Pissed
He was a God-send for me in a Yahoo league. I got totally shut out at TE (obviously my own doing, I refused to reach and I got killed at te because of it).
I picked him up yesterday when they added TE to his position.

Just came to post this. Smh. And like clockwork he was immediately picked up by my rival. Smh. Stupid football

He's just as much a QB as Ronnie Brown was on the Dolphins, or Darren McFadden was at Arkansas.

Thinking about dropping Njoku and rolling with Hill (I don't typically like to keep two TEs and need to drop one for a K before season starts). I feel like that's crazy but Hill's utility upside seems too good. That NO backfield is suspect and I could see Hill getting decent rushing opportunities, especially around the goal line (although... in this offense those may be few and far between).

In non-PPR, here are his TE finishes:
2023 - TE7
2022 - TE3
2021 - TE5
2020 - TE3
In PPR, here are his TE finishes:
2023 - TE12
2022 - TE9
2021 - TE21
2020 - TE7
You may not like how he gets his points, but he gets them. In 60 games over the last 4 seasons, he has 40 TD's. No other TE has more (yes, even Travis Kelce).

Similar situation for me. I dropped Goedert for him. Still not sure it’s the right call, but Goedert isn’t going to be picked up off the wire in my league and there’s a few warm bodies just like him.
It is what it is, but I completely punted on tight end in my draft, and I think I’ll roll the dice on Hill TDs for a few weeks to see how it shakes out. If it’s not working I’ll throw him out to sea and pickup someone else… then watch him blow up.
I also have Hockenson on IR, so if Hill can someone start the season with a few tds I think it’s as good of a dice roll as any. With the possibility of a huge lottery ticket if something were to happen to Kamara or Carr. (I know he’s not the true backup/handcuff to either, I could just see him getting more touches if one of those guys goes down).

Has someone told Chris Collinsworth that he squats 685#, so that he can tell us every time he touches the field?
Let’s get hill some tush push!

He needs to be banned from Fantasy Football.

Just landed my 1st share as my TE2 in NFFC ROC where he’s TE-elligable.
Hot Sauce Guy

I like it but I would have drafted him if I knew. Too late in 1 league, on waivers in another. CBS admins had all off-season to decide. WTF. Shenanigans.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Unfortunately my league is 27 man roster IDP. He’s a street FA over there as waivers ran past night.
I literally have no one to drop. I’m going to curse loudly when I see someone add him long after I had the chance.
Leroy Hoard

MFL still has him at QB.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
I don’t see that changing.
Big Nate

I agree. In Yahoo leagues he listed as both QB and TE. I can't wait until he retires or becomes irrelevant.
Leroy Hoard

A friend of mine is in a "team QB" league. Combining his stats with Carr's could provide some interesting results.
I grabbed him. Was the last team in our 14 teamer to grab a TE and ended up with Friermuth, which is pretty gross
Deamon
Footballguy
Oh wow, that's interesting. I never thought of that as many leagues do team-qb.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
It's something he is looking at in case he is desperate at QB, it's not like anyone drafted Saints QB.
Deamon
Footballguy
I mean, I might draft Saints QB if that's the case.
Hill had 146 points last year, and Carr had 294. If you do add them together, you're getting 440 points... That would put him only behind Josh Allen last year.
I'd say Team QB, Saints would be top 5 this year in a league where Hill is listed at QB.
VikingFrog
Footballguy
To be fair to CBS. The Saints just changed his roster designation from QB to TE yesterday.
Runkle
Footballguy
Wonder what happens if you have a Team QB spot and a Team TE slot, does he count in both?
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
Just think of the total points if he completed a TD pass to himself.
Deamon
Footballguy
Your buddy should go pick them up right now. That is a low key brilliant move to start the saints team qb.

Guy in my CBS league dropped him last night for Juwan Johnson because he needed a TE and Taysom was still slotted as QB. He's on waivers for 24 hours. I was thinking of putting in a sneaky claim for him, but CBS just emailed everyone in the league his designation is changed.

Of all the damn bye weeks the saints had to have the same one as the Bills?!
No one’s added him yet. It won’t be long.
ETA: Aaaaaaand there he goes. Gah!

As it should be
Runkle

Why should some site over-rule an NFL team's official depth chart?
When I wrote to the MFL Help last week they said he'd be a QB for this year. I went ahead and changed him to TE, because that's dumb.
I don't disagree with you often, but this doesn't make any sense.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Don’t know, but every single snap I saw him play in the regular season was at QB, then takes off running.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Yeah, they tend to do things year by year.
My 2 sets of commishes did not change it. One of the commishes in one league is a T.Hill shareholder, so I feel for the dude. Puts him in a precarious spot. If he changes it he directly benefits & the league probably murmurs about it even though it’s the correct decision.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I’d be willing to bet 99% or greater of his snaps in 2023 was at QB
In 2023.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
2024 hasn’t started, so you go by 2023, not preseason. Looks like MFL is 100% right in this,
He's listed by the team as a TE. All of his pre-season snaps have been as an H-back type player, which is typically considered a TE.
It's possible he only lines up at QB like last year. But those are not the indications.
So I guess we'll see how it shakes out.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Again, we’ve already disagreed on this before. I agree with MFL and you don’t. We can leave it at that.
The preseason game that I actually watched the first half of, he played mostly at RB
Runkle
Footballguy
This is the way, let the site handle as much as possible and stay out of it
