Yes, I once again urge you to consider Taysom Hill as a weird gadget as a fake tight end for the New Orleans Saints.

Last week he rushed for 20 yards, catching two passes for 21.

He completed a pass that was completely normal tight end stuff.

Uh, the Saints backfield is struggling quite a bit right now with no known backup options available.

No, Miller, no, Jamal Williams.

Uh Alvin Kamara is also playing through injury.

We’re about to get a big dose of Tatom Hill today in the friendliest game possible in Carolina.

The Panthers have allowed the most rushing yards per game, the most rushing touchdowns of the season.

There’s a very good chance we’ll see Hill’s highest usage of the year and there’s a great chance he finds the end zone in this one.

If you’ve been wandering around the tight end wilderness a bit, why not just go with a guy who qualifies for the position but usually plays running back.

Uh Hill is only listed in 35% of Yahoo Leagues, which surprises me.

It seems strange considering his setup this week
