Taysom practicing with the QBs at the open portion of practice.

Cheat code??????

You’d still have to hope Andy Dalton goes down.

But there’s worse lottery tickets out there.

FantasyPros) Saints TE Taysom Hill rushed five times for 21 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 loss to Vikings. Analysis: With Jameis Winston out, Taysom Hill operated as the primary backup QB behind Andy Dalton. Hill missed Week 3 with a rib injury, but didn't look bothered on Sunday. His rushing upside and goal line work makes him a high upside play, but fantasy managers should look for safer option at TE before starting Hill as of now.

 

[VikingFrog]

Choo choo.

Started him because Knox was out.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I'm a little disappointed in this guy. Started him as a TE, but I didn't get a single receiving yard out of him. What a bum.

 

[tricky92]

Choo choo.

Started him because Knox was out.

I told my friend to start him, while I left him on my bench. Ugh.

 

[Guss]

He need to be designated as a QB, it is a complete joke that he is listed as a TE.
Totally unfair advantage.

Seems like more of a RB to me.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Wasn't even drafted as a TE in my league. Every owner had a chance at him but didn't draft him.

 

[BassNBrew]

Was he taking snaps directly from center? Is so, MFL should be crediting the stats to team QB.

Per my commish, they have to be listed at the beginning of the season as a QB. Everyone is locked to their position till next year.

Our league made a rule before the season that he can't be started as a WR/TE (even though his only position eligibility on our site is TE).

Him being TE eligible is just dumb. Everybody knew if he had any value it would not be from him catching forward passes. He's a running QB, not a TE. His only value ever comes from getting snaps at quarterback.

He's a TE on the team's official depth chart. That is what he should be in fantasy.

"With the Saints trying to get back in the win column despite missing several offensive stars, do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill carried his team to victory."

 

[Capella]

He threw for 22 yards today. I don’t know how any of you could say he should be a QB.

 

[wgoldsph]

He threw for 22 yards today. I don’t know how any of you could say he should be a QB.

He had as many passing attempts as Justin Jefferson this week.

 

[zamboni]

Haven’t seen the snap counts yet but will be interesting to see how many versus previous weeks.

 

[SayWhat?]

He threw for 22 yards today. I don’t know how any of you could say he should be a QB.

Well then by that metric, neither should Justin Fields.

It's a heck of a number from what is often a "What the heck" position...

Can we actually start this guy now?

 

[Mitchie]

39.08 out of my TE works

I've got about 15 total through 5 weeks. No joke.

Exact same here . --and 6.2 of it was Week 1

There is a position change option under the MFL Commish controls, and I have seen it used inseason in the past. But it removes the existing position, and, if you use Team QB, it appears that it does not add Hill to the NO Team QB, but rather lists him as a stand alone Team QB.

I haven't seen much of the Saints this season, does he ever actually lineup at TE?
Obviously all of his highlights come from when he lined up at QB

 

[ahartig]

He will be starting for me over pitts every week until pitts turns it around, if ever

 

[Guss]

He has 1 target, 1 catch, 2 yards receiving. 21 rushes, 228 yards, 5 rushing TD. 1 pass att/comp, 22 yards passing, 1 passing TD.

How any league allows him to play as a TE is a complete joke!

He is not a TE, could care less what the Saints list him officially.
Any fantasy league that let's him be a TE is a joke league

Plain and simple. He should be listed as a RB

Any league commish that allows him to be a TE is also a joke

Tell everyone you played against Hill without saying you played against Hill

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Well, the fantasy websites and the NFL depth charts are the ones that "allows" him to be a TE. If someone picked him up to use as a TE (where he's eligible) and I, as a commissioner, didn't allow it I would be over-stepping my role and looking at a huge ****-show. I'd rather bitter Guss from the internet think I'm a joke than act outside of my authority.

Yes, matter of fact the announcer raved about one particular block he made as being better than all the touchdowns.

I'm not lying when I tell you I was going to pick him up and start him in Summerpalooza when Logan Thomas was declared out, but I'd already shot my mouth off about not using guys in the wrong position ethically. He remained on the wire, and 38 or so points remained there with him. I knew to start him, though. I was just looking like, "Oh my. Perfect tight end for the game."

I would have lost regardless. Glad I didn't do it.

I hope nobody picks him up and decides to use him that way.

eta* I should clarify. It was never an option. I just knew he was going to score well for some reason. Or, he would have given me the best chance at a reasonable TE score. But it wasn't really an option at all.

That proves he's a TE. Everyone knows most QBs can't block.

TE is my weakest link right now. Going hard after him this week. Putting a big chunk of FAAB down.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I definitely don't like it, but don't see any way to stop it as a commish since it's not illegal and it's website drive.

He's why I talked about it earlier in our thread. Not kidding. I looked at that and said, "they're going to yank Winston out of there inside the ten and he's going to score touchdowns." Sure enough, they've gone full-bore into it.

 

[LawFitz]

Case Study: he's allowed at QB/TE in a Superflex and you are middling Kittle at TE... How much is FAB Taysom worth right here right now?

Wrong thread. Thought it was the Josh Jacobs thread.

Taysom Hill Breaks Football Outsiders

 

[Galileo]

TE is my weakest link right now. Going hard after him this week. Putting a big chunk of FAAB down.

As long as you are cool with the roller coaster ride, proceed with caution. He can smash one week and be non existent another. He has 57 snaps and 22 touches through 5 weeks. Of those, 23 snaps and 9 touches came in week 5 alone while Winston, Thomas and Landry were out of the lineup and they just let Jones and Murray go. I actually played him over Kittle in one league this past week because of those lineup issues. I figured he would get more usage against a poor Seattle D. This is not something I would be comfortable doing on a regular basis, but hey, its TE, certainly a place where a roller coaster ride could be preferred over the zeros I am sucking up from Schultz in another one of my leagues...

 

[Faust]

NewOrleans.Football's Mike Triplett believes Taysom Hill will "remain a huge part" of the Saints' rushing offense.​

"Obviously no one can expect anything close to this level for the rest of the year," Triplett said of Hill's Week 5 explosion against the Seahawks, when he ran nine times for 112 yards and three touchdowns, adding another score through the air. "But Sunday was a good reminder that Hill has always been and should remain a huge part of New Orleans’ rushing package." Triplett said the Saints could continue leaning on the rushing attack as the team deals with a variety of offensive injuries, including Jameis Winston's back and ankle issues, Chris Olave's brain injury, and Michael Thomas' toe injury. For as long as Winston is sidelined, look for Hill -- who has 228 yards and five rushing touchdowns through Week 5 -- to remain involved as part of the Saints offense. It's a tough break for those who took Alvin Kamara in the second round of fantasy drafts.

I'm aware but when I've gotten less than 5 each week at TE except for one, it's worth the risk.

 

[Anarchy99]

Can't say that I ever remember a week where the #1 scoring fantasy TE had 0 receiving yards and the #2 TE had 25.

I'm guessing Kamara is not super impressed either. It's one thing when there were lots of TDs to go around like in the Brees days but the "pie" is much smaller now.

I'll be using him until Waller looks like he can play football again.

I see a couple of passing TDs to Kamara on the horizon.

So, just like every other TE, except with huge upside
