Taysom Hill Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. He got back on the practice field this week but hasn't been cleared for game action. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 8. Alvin Kamara will continue to dominate backfield work for the Saints with Hill out.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. It looks like he has a chance to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. New Orleans could certainly use Hill with QB Derek Carr and WRs Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed likely out. Hill could be a viable week 7 fantasy starter in half-PPR and especially non-PPR. We'll see how he progresses over the next two days.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs. His absence is a slight boost to RB Alvin Kamara’s carry projection, particularly at the goal line.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He hasn't been placed on IR as of now but figures to miss multiple games with his fractured ribs. Hill has just three targets but 14 carries and two rushing scores in three games this season. His absence is an upgrade for RB Alvin Kamara, who carried a season-high 26 times when Hill missed Week 3.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Thursday that TE Taysom Hill has been diagnosed with "rib fractures." Allen didn't give a timeline for Hill's return, but we imagine he'll miss multiple games.

Saints TE Taysom Hill scored two rushing TDs against the Falcons just two weeks after suffering a bruised lung. He ran six times for 24 yards. Hill was a significant part of the Saints' red zone packages and was effective between the tackles running the ball.

Saints TE Taysom Hill is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. Falcons with an abdomen injury. He carried six times for 24 yards and two TDs in the first half. We'll update Hill's status when we know more.

Update: Hill has been ruled out.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. With RB Alvin Kamara and WR Chris Olave banged up, Hill could take on an expanded role. He’s in play as a Week 4 spot starter at TE, particularly in half-PPR and non-PPR leagues.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a hip pointer and rib injury, HC Dennis Allen said. Kamara was able to play through the issues in the Week 3 loss to the Eagles but shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Falcons on Sunday.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. He’s totaled eight carries vs. just three targets this season, so his absence gives the biggest boost to RB Alvin Kamara.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He should be out of all Week 3 fantasy lineups. Hill has played 57% of his snaps in the backfield this season, totaling eight carries and three targets. His absence is a bigger boost to New Orleans' RBs than pass-catchers.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. But Hill would be tough to trust in any fantasy lineup at less than 100%.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Dennis Allen said Hill will hopefully be able to get in a limited practice on Thursday, which suggests he has a chance to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. We'll keep tabs on Hill's progress over the next few days.

Saints TE Taysom Hill suffered a chest injury in Sunday's win over the Cowboys and did not return. He carried three times for 18 yards and caught his only target for one yard before exiting. We'll look for an update on Hill's injury.

The Saints on Tuesday activated TE Juwan Johnson from the physically unable to perform list. He had foot surgery in June and had been rehabbing since. But Johnson returns to the field with more than two weeks to prepare for the regular-season opener.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that the Saints are "leaning into the Taysom Hill experience." Hill has been practicing at five different positions in new OC Klint Kubiak's offense: QB, RB, FB, WR, and TE.

Nick Underhill of Saints.football reports that Saints TE Juwan Johnson "suffered a lower leg injury and is expected to miss a good amount of time." We'll watch for more specifics on the injury, but that sounds pretty ominous. Underhill did add that he hasn't heard that Johnson will be sidelined into the regular season.

Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Johnson will undergo foot surgery. He's expected to be sidelined “a while," Schefter adds, but "the hope and belief for now is that he will be back for the start of the season."
