Taysom Hill Could Have Expanded Role in 2024, per HC Dennis Allen


If you’re drafting Alvin Kamara or Chris Olave in your leagues this year, this report might make your skin crawl – and potentially even drum up PTSD of stolen touchdowns, goal line carries, and red zone targets. In somewhat comical fashion, Taysom Hill racked up career highs in total opportunities (121) and scrimmage yards (692) in his seventh professional season while adding six total touchdowns to his docket. The Swiss army knife has scored at least six touchdowns in four of his last five seasons, with the lone exception coming in 2021 when he missed five games. Despite being a gadget player, Hill has finished as a top-12 fantasy TE in each of the past two seasons thanks to a handful of boom games in 2022-23. An even further expanded role for Hill could pay legit dividends for his fantasy prospects in 2024, as a lack of consistency in opportunity has hamstrung his efforts to become a truly reliable option at the position. While it’s unlikely that Hill ever approaches a full time role in the Saints even after these reports (he played 50% or more of the team’s snaps in just three games last season), he remains one of the best value picks in best ball drafts thanks to a high scoring ceiling despite a very low floor. And since we love to hate on Derek Carr’s ability on the field, let’s do it some more: Maybe Dennis Allen wants to replace Carr with Hill 🤷‍♂️.
