Taysom Hill Absent Again On Thursday
12 months ago
New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback/running back Taysom Hill (foot, hand) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hill is looking pretty questionable to play this weekend against the Carolina Panthers unless he returns to the practice field on Friday. The 33-year-old Swiss Army Knife had a season-high 13 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions, but he's been a pretty volatile fantasy asset in an inconsistent Saints offense all year, and now he could miss Week 14 action. If Hill does play, though, and quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, rib, shoulder) is inactive, he could see a much larger package as a QB/RB for the Saints offense. As a fantasy tight end, he's shaping up as a risky low-end TE1.
