Taysom Hill

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Saints have restructured QB Taysom Hill’s contract, which includes a four-year $140M extension that is entirely voidable.

Fantasy Impact

Wasting no time after Drew Brees shared his retirement, the Saints announced that they have given Hill a four-year, $140M extension. While these are big numbers this should essentially be viewed as a move to create further cap space for the Saints as Hill’s contract is fully voidable. Hill started four games at QB in 2020 and totaled 928 yards passing with 4 TD’s and 2 Int’s.

Saints QB Taysom Hill (knee) is inactive and will not play in Sunday’s Divisional Round game against the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Hill will not play in Sunday’s playoff game against the Buccaneers. The Saints will also be without RB Latavius Murray (quad). This bodes well for RB Alvin Kamara, who should see all the goal-line work for the Saints on Sunday. Jameis Winston will handle backup QB duties while Hill is sidelined.

Saints QB Taysom Hill (knee) is not likely to play Sunday vs. the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Hill was only able to log a limited practice on Friday this week and it’s looking like he’s unlikely to suit up against the Buccaneers for the divisional round game. Things can change on game day leading up to kickoff however, so check back to see if the Saints’ Swiss Army knife is able to play on Sunday. Jameis Winston is the likely backup should Hill ultimately be ruled out.

Taysom Hill (knee) returned to practice on Friday and is officially listed as "questionable" for Sunday against the Bucs.

Fantasy Impact

Hill didn't practice on either Wednesday or Thursday, so his return today gives him a good shot at suiting up for this one. Of course, Drew Brees will simply handle all the quarterback reps if Hill can't go.

Taysom Hill (knee) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice.

Fantasy Impact

Hill didn't practice on Wednesday either, so there's a real chance that he won't suit up in the Divisional Round against Tampa Bay. Of course, even a "limited" practice on Friday will give him a shot at playing. We know that coach Sean Payton would be thrilled to have him.
