Is anyone considering scooping him up and using him as a TE during Brees' absence? Given the state of TE, he may be worth a shot if you don't have Kelce or Waller.
They haven't announced it yet, but it is possible that Taysom Hill sees more usage at QB than he normally does.Ags #1 said:
Isnt crab legs the starter now?
It depends what his usage looks like, but could be massive this week if he were to play meaningful time at QB and could be slotted as a TE.bdgol07 said:
He is only a QB for Yahoo...I bet that he doesn't stay TE eligible for more than a week
If he is the backup QB, they will not use him as an H Back as much so he is protected. Payton did the same thing last year too. Brees was out, Hill rarely played other than QBSaint Pablo said:It depends what his usage looks like, but could be massive this week if he were to play meaningful time at QB and could be slotted as a TE.bdgol07 said:

Still taking a flyer on him. I have terrible TEs this year, so he's filling in as a bye week. If he's a starter and the TE is a designation... worth the gamblebdgol07 said:If he is the backup QB, they will not use him as an H Back as much so he is protected.

My expectations are about as low as they can be. I lost Kittle and had to pick up Logan Thomas, and grabbed Hill as a long-shot before Brees even got hurt. I'm just saying, i don't think his production will drastically increase. Like a lot of people in this thread think it will.Saint Pablo said:
Possible. But if so, how disappointed will you be? Odds are you're missing out on Geisicki, Logan Thomas, Jonnu or some rando at TE that has the potential to land yiu 2.2 points.
Fair enough! Low expectations are the way to go w TE this year!boy09 said:My expectations are about as low as they can be.

I didn't put in a waiver claim for him thinking he would surely be available in free agency Wednesday morning. The team in last place got him in time for his matchup with the team in first LOLboy09 said:

I believe so. Sleeper has him as a QB. Not sure about other leagues.Silvertaps said:
For clarification...playing Hill at TE will only work in ESPN...correct?
As long as your league is set up normally, you get credit if a non QB throws for yards and TDs, like a halfback pass or something like that.Txhuntr said:
So, I picked up hill on a whim earlier this week. Will he get passing stats if I play him at TE? Those columns don't show up in his player profile. ESPN league btw
Matthew Berry was tweeting about this yesterday and said that they would never take away position eligibility during a week. So after he's the starting QB this week, he'll lose TE eligibility next week. This is a one week play for everyone picking him up.Saint Pablo said:
ESPN is stupid as hell for allowing this to happen, but as long as I am not being boned by it, I don't really care!
Yeah I saw that. WHY though? There is no rational explanation as to why A) a guy who was never listed as anything other than a quarterback was made a TE and B) after that dude was named the starting QB was still left as a TE.Squirrel Master said:Matthew Berry was tweeting about this yesterday and said that they would never take away position eligibility during a week.

It hasn't been. He has been listed as a QB on their depth chart all year. Jared Cook, Adam Trautman, Josh Hill, and Jason Vander Laan are the only tight ends on their depth chart. I understand that he catches passes every once in a while, but that doesn't make him a tight end. The only place that Taysom Hill has been considered a tight end is ESPN's fantasy. He should have never had the designation to begin with.Squirrel Master said:
Well, he was added as a TE, because this season, that's been his primary position. They didn't add TE designation this week. And they aren't dropping TE now, today, because the week is already started. Games are already being played. So it wouldn't make sense to change his designation now. Lineups are already set with some players already locked in. It would be more weird to make designation changes on a Friday that could make some already set lineups illegitimate.
