Hill carried the ball four times for 14 yards and caught both his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.
Since returning from a rib injury in Week 8, Hill has seen at least six touches in three straight games, compiling 145 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD over that stretch. The versatile "tight end" will likely see modest but consistent volume again in Week 11 against the Browns, and his usage in the red zone makes him a threat to get into the end zone any given week.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Hill could be the best Saints receiver and second-best rusher in Week 10 against the Falcons, with Chris Olave (concussion), Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder), Kendre Miller (hamstring), and Jamaal Williams (groin) all dealing with injuries. In Week 9 at Carolina, Hill had four catches for 41 yards on five targets, and he also added five carries for 19 yards and a touchdown. He scored 16 PPR points, and the only other time he's scored double digits in PPR points this season was Week 4 at Atlanta when he had six carries for 24 yards and two touchdowns. Given the situation in New Orleans, Hill is worth starting in all leagues.

Hill could be the best Saints receiver and second-best rusher in Week 10 against the Falcons with Chris Olave (concussion), Kendre Miller (hamstring) and Jamaal Williams (groin) all dealing with injuries. In Week 9 at Carolina, Hill had four catches for 41 yards on five targets, and he also added five carries for 19 yards and a touchdown.

Given the situation in New Orleans, Hill is worth starting in all leagues.
Watch the Saints injury report. We're expecting Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller, and Chris Olave to all miss Week 10. If that's the case, then Hill gets a boost in both the running game and the passing game and becomes a must-start tight end.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Saints need Hill in the passing game with Chris Olave (concussion) banged up, and Hill is also needed in the backfield with Kendre Miller (hamstring) and Jamaal Williams (groin) hurt. In Week 9 at Carolina, Hill had four catches for 41 yards on five targets, and he also added five carries for 19 yards and a touchdown. He scored 16 PPR points and the only other time he's scored double digits in PPR points this season was in Week 4 at Atlanta when he had six carries for 24 yards and two touchdowns. Given the situation in New Orleans, Hill is worth adding in all leagues as a potential starter for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Compiles 60 total yards in loss
Rotowire
Hill secured four of five targets for 41 yards, rushed five times for 19 yards and a touchdown and threw an incompletion on his only pass attempt in the Saints' 23-22 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Hill filled his usual multi-purpose role and found his way to new season highs in receptions and receiving yards partly due to the exit of Chris Olave with a concussion in the first quarter. Hill also recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a seven-yard run in the second quarter, and he fell just short of reaching the 20-yard mark on the ground for the third straight game. The versatile veteran could see his involvement as a pass catcher remain slightly elevated during a Week 10 home matchup against the Falcons if Olave isn't able to clear concussion protocol in time for the contest.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Kendre Miller (hamstring) is out for Week 9 at Carolina, and Jamaal Williams (groin) is listed as doubtful. We could see Hill as the No. 2 running back for the Saints behind Alvin Kamara, and the Panthers lead the NFL with the most rushing touchdowns allowed with 13. Hill should also be a factor catching the ball with Derek Carr (oblique) back after a three-game absence, and Hill is a sneaky option to use at tight end in Week 9.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Hill returned in Week 8 against the Chargers after a three-game absence with a rib injury. He should continue to play a variety of roles for the Saints, and he might fall into the end zone against the Panthers in Week 9. It's not a bad idea to stash Hill -- or stream him against Carolina if needed -- to see what he does now that he's back to 100 percent. He's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Logs six touches Week 8
Rotowire
Hill gathered in two of four targets for 21 yards to go along with four rushes for 20 yards during Sunday's 26-8 loss against the Chargers. He also completed his lone passing attempt for three yards.
Hill logged a season high in targets during his first game back from a rib injury suffered Week 4. In his first three games this season, the 34-year-old was the Saints' No. 2 rushing option behind Alvin Kamara. It looks like he took on a bigger role in the passing game Sunday, as he tied for third on the team in targets behind Chris Olave (14) and Kamara (11). Hill's non-traditional role makes his production rather hard to predict, but his value as a rusher in the red zone combined with the team's lack of weapons should provide him some notable scoring chances when he's healthy. He'll look to make an impact as both a rusher and receiver during next week's game versus Carolina on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Hill (rib) practiced fully Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
This marks Hill's first uncapped session since he emerged from Week 4 action with rib fractures, thereby paving the way for him to return to action Sunday at the Chargers. Fellow TE Juwan Johnson (shoulder) has been limited in practice so far this week, so there's a chance Hill could act as the Saints' top option at the position if the former doesn't gain clearance to suit up Week 8.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Remains limited in practice
Rotowire
Hill (rib) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Hill has been listed as a limited participant on four consecutive practice reports going back to last week, but he's still seeking his first game action since Week 4 in Atlanta. Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau have been handling tight end reps in the interim, but Johnson joined Hill as a limited participant Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. As a result, the statuses of both Hill and Johnson will continue to be watched as the weekend approaches to see if either are in danger of sitting out Sunday at the Chargers.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Not playing Thursday
Rotowire
Hill (ribs) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
After sitting out Weeks 5 and 6 due to rib fractures that didn't allow him to practice in advance of those contests, Hill was listed as limited on all three of the Saints' Week 7 injury reports. In the end, though, a doubtful designation forecast inactive status Thursday, which has come to pass. Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau will continue to handle the bulk of the TE reps while Hill is sidelined.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Listed as limited again
Rotowire
The Saints listed Hill (ribs) as a limited participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Triplett notes that Hill wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Tuesday's session, but the 34-year-old must have fit in enough work behind the scenes to earn a "limited" listing for the second practice report in a row. Hill looks like he'll have a chance to play Thursday against the Broncos.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Hill (ribs) wasn't on the field for Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
New Orleans listed Hill as a limited participant Monday on its initial Week 7 injury report, but his activity level was downgraded a day later. He'll likely need to get back on the field in some capacity Wednesday to have any chance of playing in Thursday's game against the Broncos. Hill has missed the Saints' last two games while tending to multiple rib fractures.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Limited on estimated report
Rotowire
Hill (rib) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.
Hill didn't practice during preparation for Weeks 5 and 6 and sat out both contests as a result of multiple rib fractures, so his projected activity level to begin this week at least is a positive sign for a banged-up Saints offense that could be missing Derek Carr (oblique), Alvin Kamara (hand), Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) on Thursday against the Broncos.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Ruled out
Rotowire
Hill (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Had he been healthy enough to play, Hill might have taken on a larger role than usual with Spencer Rattler filling in for Derek Carr (oblique). As is, Hill's next chance to play is Thursday against the Broncos, with a lack of practice participation this week suggesting he isn't especially likely to be ready on a short week.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Hill (ribs) didn't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
On the heels of Monday's loss at Kansas City, the Saints didn't hold a full session to begin Week 6 prep, but Hill still was listed as a non-participant for a fourth consecutive injury report due to the rib fractures that he sustained Week 4 in Atlanta. He'll have two more opportunities this week to mix into drills before New Orleans potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll see if Hill (ribs) can return in Week 6 against Tampa Bay after he was out in Week 5 at Kansas City, and he could see some time under center with Derek Carr (oblique) banged up. That would most likely just be as a runner, but Hill ran for two touchdowns in his last game in Week 4 at Atlanta with six carries for 24 yards. Keep an eye on the injury report for the Saints, and Hill has top-10 upside if he returns to action. He's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Tending to rib fractures
Rotowire
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that Hill was held out of Thursday's practice due to rib fractures, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Allen didn't go into detail regarding the number of the fractures, but the injury certainly sounds like something serious enough to threaten Hill's availability for Monday's game against the Chiefs. Hill had previously missed the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Eagles with a bruised lung, so the team could be motivated to proceed cautiously with the offensive weapon now that he's tending to another chest-related injury in the aftermath of this past Sunday's loss to the Falcons. The Saints will likely wait and see how Hill is feeling after the team's final practice of Week 5 on Saturday before determining his status for the Monday night contest.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Missing from practice
Rotowire
Hill (rib) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Hill was withheld from the Saints' first Week 5 practice, four days after head coach Dennis Allen confirmed that the jack-of-all-trades player injured a rib in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. The 34-year-old will have two more opportunities to log some practice activity before the Saints decide whether he'll carry a designation into Monday's game in Kansas City. Hill previously missed a game Week 3 against the Eagles, but he's suited up in each of the Saints' other three contests while recording two receptions for two yards and carrying 14 times for 77 yards and two scores.
