Is Jeff Driskel the new Taysom Hill?

Is Jeff Driskel the new Taysom Hill?

Yahoo Sports’ Matt Harmon, Andy Behrens and Scott Pianowski talk about how the Houston QB is also listed as a TE in Yahoo Fantasy leagues. Video Transcript [AUDIO LOGO] MATT HARMON: How much of a crime against humanity are we committing, Andy, by having Jeff Driskel eligible as a tight end this week? ANDY BEHRENS: Yeah, can’t underscore that point enough. Nobody that you’re listening to on this podcast, nobody associated with this podcast can do anything with position eligibility.

Taysom Hill does it all for Saints

Taysom Hill does it all for Saints

The New Orleans Saints had plenty of name-brand value in fantasy football draft season. Maybe you went for Alvin Kamara, or talked yourself into a Michael Thomas comeback. Perhaps you were intrigued by rookie wideout Chris Olave, or imagined a fun season from YOLO Jameis Winston. Well, we’re in Week 5. And leave it to old Taysom Hill to once again break the game. Hill was the star in Sunday’s 39-32 victory over Seattle, and he did it on a modest amount of opportunities. Hill ran for 112… Source link

Saints QB Taysom Hill leaves with foot injury

The New Orleans Saints were very much alive for a playoff spot on Sunday afternoon, but their hopes of doing anything in the playoffs looked a lot murkier before they knew if they’d made the postseason.  The Saints lost quarterback Taysom Hill to a Lisfranc injury to his foot, New Orleans coach Sean Payton told Fox sideline reporter Laura Okmin. Hill wasn’t ruled out, but that’s generally a serious injury. Trevor Siemian replaced Hill.  The Saints needed a win and a San Francisco 49ers loss… Source link

Taysom Hill is frontrunner vs. Jameis Winston

Taysom Hill is frontrunner vs. Jameis Winston

The biggest double-take contract numbers on the doorstep of NFL free agency weren’t hard to find Sunday, with the New Orleans Saints signing quarterback Taysom Hill to a gaudy — but entirely voiding — four-year, $140 million contract extension. The key words in that sentence: Entirely voiding. In most cases of NFL contracts, that phrase translates into numbers as being “entirely meaningless.” In terms of what the extension implies, this isn’t one of those cases. There are several… Source link

For most of his NFL career, Taysom Hill has been more curiosity than anything else. He’s been a package player, an Internet meme, and a Twitter joke. But Sunday against Atlanta, in his first start directing the Saints, Hill looked like a bonafide professional quarterback. Taysom Hill passes the test Hill was the second-best fantasy QB in Week 11’s early window, playing well in a 24-9 victory over Atlanta. Hill threw for 233 yards, ran for 51 more, and picked up a couple of rushing… Source link

Why Taysom Hill is tight end-eligible in fantasy football on ESPN, FanDuel but not Yahoo

Why Taysom Hill is tight end-eligible in fantasy football on ESPN, FanDuel but not Yahoo

Fantasy football and DFS players may have noticed a loophole recently when glancing at Saints quarterback Taysom Hill’s player page. On those two sites, Hill is listed as a tight end. Hill has been TE-eligible on ESPN and FanDuel all season, but it’s gotten extra attention before New Orleans’ Week 11 game against the Falcons because Drew Brees is hurt. Reportedly cracked ribs and a collapsed lung are expected to keep Brees out of that contest, leaving Jameis Winston and Hill as the… Source link
