Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 3/19: So many juicier spots than NE to land. It is a positive he has experience with new OC Bill O'Brien, who recruited Gesicki in college. Still, he and Hunter Henry are gonna nibble away at each other all year | 5/24: Foster Moreau & Juwan Johnson create competition, but Taysom's role is unique and the spike weeks should be BIG. 3/7: Could be sneaky benefactor from Carr's big contract -- more TD opportunities & reps at TE could be good |
Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Even if you take out Taysom Hill's 34-point monster week last season, he still finished as TE15. If you include it, Hill finished as TE5! And that was with an offensive line decimated with injuries last season. Yes, the Saints signed Derek Carr to a big deal, but Carr is less mobile than last year's starting QB Andy Dalton. They also signed TE Foster Moreau and still have TE Juwan Johnson. And they re-signed Hill. To me, that says New Orleans wants to keep using Hill as a wildcat QB/gadget player. He's a major weapon in the red zone. And if somehow they were to cut Hill, head coach Sean Payton would scoop him up immediately in Denver. Payton loves Hill's versatility. The possibilities for his creative play calls are endless. With a current ADP of TE 22, Hill is a cheap lottery ticket to grab late in drafts. When you consider Hill's potential usage as a wildcat QB in the coveted red zone, few TEs offer the ceiling that Taysom Hill has. I guess what I'm saying is this is a fantasy Hill I'm willing to die on haha! Who dat rank Taysom Hill so high and tell these bad jokes? Mark Ringo dat who. Haha!! Sleeper | |
Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Mike Gesicki is one of the most athletic tight ends in the league, but he was a complete nonfactor in fantasy last season. After a 73-catch, 780-yard season in 2021, Gesicki was franchised-tagged by the Dolphins last year, only to become an afterthought in head coach Mike McDaniel's offense. Gesicki averaged just 3.1 targets per game in 2022 and finished with 32 catches for 362 yards and five touchdowns. Gesicki has since signed with the Patriots, where he'll be reunited with his college coach at Penn State, Bill O'Brien, who's now the Patriots' offensive coordinator. Gesicki could become a more appealing fantasy option in 2023 if O'Brien is committed to better utilizing Gesicki's impressive skill set. | A situational wildcat quarterback masquerading as a tight end, Taysom Hill finished TE5 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring last year. Hill was wildly inconsistent from week to week, however, and a 112-yard, three-TD rushing performance vs. Seattle in Week 5 accounted for a massive chunk of his fantasy scoring. Hill's fantasy value for 2023 depends largely on his usage. With Derek Carr arriving in New Orleans during the offseason, it seems likely the Saints will reduce Hill's snap counts, rendering him a fantasy afterthought who might have a couple of splash weeks but won't provide bankable value. |
