Yeah, it’s national tight end day.

So I wanna talk about everybody’s favorite fake tight end Taysom Hill, uh, when last we saw him, he was scoring a pair of touchdowns against Atlanta.

He’s eligible at tight end, definitely doesn’t play the position in any traditional sense.

Um, but he’s an offensive weapon on a team that is running low on such players.

Uh, given the situation for the Saints right now at receiver and at quarterback, it’s not difficult, uh, uh, to imagine a season high in touches might be on the way for Hill, one of those games in which he’s throwing a little bit, catching a little bit, taking care.

He’s at the goal line, he’s facing the Chargers this week and with Tayson Hill, he’s, you know, he’s the weird sort of, uh, quote unquote tight end where we have to actually look at the quality of the opposing run defense.

Um, and he’s facing a run defense that gives up 4.6 yards per carry.

Uh, and that’s mostly again, that’s what we focus on with Taysom almost any week in which Hill is healthy.

He’s gonna rank as a top 10 fantasy tight end for me.

It’s a cheap code.

Yes.

But you guys were begging for his tight end eligibility all summer.

You got it.

Um I’m starting him in multiple leagues this week.

Tight end has been an absolute minefield all year and Hill is at least a high upside answer.
