News

  • Spending time with second string

    Hill practiced with the second-team offense Saturday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: After spending the first two practices of training camp with the starting offense, Hill relegated those duties to Jameis Winston on Saturday. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Hill reportedly was much more impressive with the second stringers, specifically making on-point throws on deep passes. As coach Sean Payton previously has said that Hill and Winston will alternate practices with the top offense during training camp, it will be interesting to see if Hill can continue impressing as a downfield…read more

  • Opens camp with starters

    Hill worked with the starters on the first day of training camp, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: However, Johnson notes that Jameis Winston was "really sharp" leading the second-string offense. Both quarterbacks figure to get plenty of run with the starters this summer, and Hill's standing on the first day may simply be a nod to his tenure with the Saints.

  • Strictly training as QB

    Hill said Tuesday that he's training exclusively at quarterback this offseason, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to logging snaps at six offensive positions in 2020, per Pro Football Focus, Hill said he spent previous offseasons by preparing to play in a variety of roles on offense and special teams. With Drew Brees having retired, there's an open window for Hill to secure the starting quarterback gig in New Orleans, and for seemingly the first time in his professional career, he's only going to be taking snaps under center. While the 30-year-old will face competition from fellow incumbent backup…read more

  • Expected to compete with Winston

    Coach Sean Payton believes the Saints are done adding quarterbacks after they re-signed Jameis Winston to compete with Hill (knee) for the starting job, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Payton did say the team will still make some calls, and it would be easy enough to make an argument for drafting a quarterback in April. Winston is signed to a one-year contract, while Hill's "four-year, $140 million" contract extension is all voidable after 2021 (it just helped the team push some cap hit to 2022). The camp battle between these two QBs will be one of the major fantasy-football stories of the summer, with Hill offering upside thanks to his running ability, while Winston already…read more

  • Restructures contract

    The Saints are restructuring Hill's (knee) contract into a voidable four-year, $140 million extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The grand total of Hill's extension appears enormous, but with all years being voidable it essentially serves as a means for the Saints to clear up cap space and potentially move dead money into future years. The restructure comes following the announcement of Drew Brees' retirement, a development which gives Hill's spot on the roster a new context, even if it wasn't completely unexpected. With Jameis Winston currently set for free agency, Hill stands atop the Saints' quarterback depth chart.…read more

  • Career-best season

    Hill, who missed the team's final game due to a knee injury, finished the 2020 regular season with 928 passing yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions as a passer while contributing 457 rushing yards and eight additional rushing scores.

    Analysis: Hill got his first taste of action as a starter this season, filling in for Drew Brees in four games, throwing for 834 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also chipped in four rushing touchdowns in that span and finished the season with career highs in carries (87), rushing yards (457) and rushing touchdowns (8). The possibility of Drew Brees' retirement is very real, and if the future Hall of Fame quarterback does call it quits, Hill -- assuming his knee isn't a long-term concern…read more

  • Inactive for divisional round

    Hill (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: This week, Hill didn't practice until Friday, when he put in a limited session. However, it wasn't enough for the Saints to clear the QB and gadget player to suit up in the divisional round. As a result, Jameis Winston will serve as the backup quarterback to Drew Brees on Sunday.

  • Unlikely for divisional round

    Hill (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Buccaneers, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport and Jane Slater of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: The Saints will presumably re-evaluate Hill in a workout early Sunday before ruling on his status ahead of the 6:40 p.m. ET kickoff, but the 30-year-old looks to be trending in the wrong direction after he managed only one limited practice this week while battling the knee injury. In addition to Hill, the Saints are also expected to be without the services of No. 2 running back Latavius Murray (quadriceps), so Drew Brees and Alvin Kamara would both seem less likely to lose out on scoring…read more

  • Listed as questionable

    Hill (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after returning to a limited practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: If Hill is available for Sunday night's 6:40 ET kickoff, he'd back up Drew Brees at QB while also providing the Saints offense with a versatile rushing/pass-catching option. Hill finished the regular season with rushing scores in each of New Orleans' final three contests.

  • Not at practice

    Hill (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Hill missed a second straight practice, as did RB Latavius Murray (quad). The Saints should be alright without one or both of them, but it's definitely an interesting situation for fantasy purposes, impacting he outlooks for Alvin Kamara, Drew Brees and the New Orleans pass catchers. Including last week's playoff game, Hill has 18 carries, six targets and three TDs in four appearances since Drew Brees returned from IR.

  • Tending to knee injury

    Hill didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Hill dealt with a concussion last week, but he managed to pass through the protocol for head injuries to play in Sunday's wild-card win over the Bears. In the 21-9 victory, he lost a fumble, had four carries for 15 yards and caught both targets for five yards. Now with a knee issue in tow, Hill's status will be one to monitor as this weekend's game against the Buccaneers draws closer.

  • Logs just six touches in win

    Hill rushed four times for 15 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards in the Saints' 21-9 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hill's three-game streak of scoring a rushing touchdown was snapped as he logged just four carries and failed to get much going with them. New Orleans' offense was back to full health, and Hill's recent opportunities dissipated as Latavius Murray, Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas all found the end zone. Hill will have a tough time finding meaningful touches in next week's divisional round against Tampa Bay's league-best rush defense.

  • Ready for wild-card round

    Hill (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bears, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Hill's lack of an injury designation confirms that he's completely cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol, which doesn't come as much of a surprise considering that he's coming off back-to-back full practices. He'll handle his usual jack-of-all trades role versus Chicago while Drew Brees starts under center.

  • Puts in full practice Thursday

    Hill (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Hill emerged from Week 17 with a concussion, but he's already displayed measurable progress through the protocol for head injuries by increasing his activity from limited Wednesday to uncapped one day later. Still, he must be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday against the Bears.

  • Dealing with concussion

    Hill was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report with a concussion.

    Analysis: Since Drew Brees returned to action Week 15, Hill has played his typical bit role in the Saints offense, completing both of his passes for eight yards, tallying 14 carries for 62 yards and three touchdowns, and hauling in two of four targets for 24 yards. Hill's current bout with a concussion wasn't revealed until the team reconvened for preparation for the wild-card round, but the fact he fit in some activity Wednesday indicates he's progressing through the NFL's protocol for head injuries.

  • Scores eighth rushing touchdown

    Hill rushed seven times for 41 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for five yards in the Saints' 33-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: As expected, Hill saw some additional work out of the backfield with both Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray out after being placed on the COVID-19 list. Hill added to his career-best rushing touchdown total and scored on the ground for the eighth time in 2020 after accumulating just three rushing touchdowns across his first three seasons in the league. Hill finishes the regular season with the best statistical performance of his career, and he'll likely compete for the starting job in New…read more

  • More running work on tap?

    Hill may handle more reps in Sunday's game against the Panthers following news that Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray and Dwayne Washington are out after being placed on the COVID-19 list, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear exactly how the backfield will shake out. The Saints are expected to promote running back Tony Jones from the practice squad, and Ty Montgomery has experience at the position, too. However, with none of the top backs available, Hill could be in line for a bulk of the goal-line rushes, providing an intriguing opportunity to add to the seven rushing scores he's accrued thus far.

  • Another rushing TD in win

    Hill completed both of his pass attempts for eight yards, rushed five times for 18 yards and a touchdown, and secured his only target for 19 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.

    Analysis: Hill once again played his jack-of-all-trades role with efficacy, recording a rushing touchdown for the second straight game and seventh time this season. Hill also put the ball up for the first time since his starting quarterback stint in place of Drew Brees came to an end Week 14. Hill could potentially see time in all three offensive roles again during a Week 17 road season finale versus the Panthers.

  • Rushes for TD in gadget role

    Hill carried the ball twice for three yards and a touchdown and failed to record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 32-29 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: With Drew Brees back under center. Hill returned to his usual role as a gadget player and backup QB, and he took a red-zone snap into the end zone in the second quarter. He was also targeted in the red zone by Brees later in the game but wasn't able to corral the pass. Hill still retains some fantasy value in very deep formats, but unless Brees gets hurt again, he's unlikely to see much action in Week 16 against the Vikings.

  • May have reduced role on offense

    The Saints could make less use of Hill as a "jack-of-all-trades" player Sunday against the Chiefs after Jameis Winston was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though Hill had been the Saints' starting quarterback each of the past four games, he was in line to serve as the No. 3 option behind Drew Brees (ribs/lung) -- who will start after being reinstated from injured reserve -- and Winston this week. As a result, most of Hill's practice reps this week came on special teams and in the versatile role he plays on offense when Brees is available. Because Brees is playing at less than 100 percent health, the Saints kept Winston prepared to replace him…read more

  • Return to versatile role on tap

    Hill is slated to return to his versatile role on offense and special teams Sunday against the Chiefs with Drew Brees (ribs) expected to return from injured reserve to start at quarterback for the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Brees remains on IR for now, but he's expected to be activated no later than Saturday, putting an end to his four-game absence. Hill performed well as the fill-in starter during that stretch, compiling a 3-1 record and completing 82 of 114 pass attempts for 834 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions while also rushing 39 times for 209 yards and four more scores. The 30-year-old should be involved in the offense as a runner and receiver in addition to his duties on special teams while…read more

  • Suffers first loss as starter

    Hill completed 28 of 38 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Eagles. He also carried the ball five times for 33 yards.

    Analysis: The Philly defense was able to contain Hill on the ground and force him to become a passer, and while he posted some fairly impressive numbers through the air as a result, New Orleans came out on the wrong end of the final score. Drew Brees (ribs) still doesn't have a clear timetable for his return to action, potentially leaving Hill under center again in Week 15's home clash against Kansas City.

  • Continues to fill in for Brees

    Hill, who's slated to start Sunday's game against the Eagles, could also get the nod next weekend against Kansas City, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the Saints are in no rush to bring back Drew Brees, who's bouncing back from 11 fractured ribs and a punctured lung. With that in mind, Schefter views Brees as "questionable at best" for Week 15 action, with Hill in line to fill in at QB for New Orleans as long as necessary. The team is 3-0 since Hill took over as the starter and his dual-threat ability has been an asset to fantasy managers in that span.

  • Another start expected

    Hill is expected to once again start at quarterback Week 14 against the Eagles, Jeff Duncan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hill continues to have a firm hold on the quarterback job while early season starter Drew Brees (ribs) remains on IR and hasn't participated much in practice. While the situation with Brees could change by the time Week 15 rolls around, it would be exceedingly difficult to bench a player like Hill, especially if he picks up a win Sunday to improve to 4-0 as a starter. According to the report from Duncan, Hill's three-game effort has only helped his case for being the future franchise QB in the…read more

  • Tosses first two TDs of career

    Hill completed 27 of 37 pass attempts for 232 yards and two touchdowns, adding 14 carries for 83 yards during Sunday's 21-16 win against the Falcons. He also fumbled three times, losing one to the opposition.

    Analysis: In what was his third start at quarterback for the Saints, Hill threw his first TD pass since Nov. 26, 2016 (his final game played for BYU). The 30-year-old had a much cleaner passing outing Sunday compared to his Week 12 showing against the Broncos, when he completed just 56.3 percent of his passes for 78 yards and one interception. Hill has been a force on the ground all along, collecting 44-plus rushing yards and two rushing scores in each of his first two QB starts Weeks 11 and 12. Drew…read more

  • Scores two more times on ground

    Hill completed nine of 16 pass attempts for 78 yards and tossed one interception while rushing 10 times for 44 yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's 31-3 win against Denver. He fumbled once but recovered the loose ball himself.

    Analysis: Hill stands without a passing TD over his pair of NFL starts, or at any point in his NFL career for that matter, but he's provided fantasy value in spite of that with two scores in both Week 11 and Week 12. The BYU product didn't have to go to the air often against the Broncos, who were down to practice squad call-up Kendall Hinton at quarterback because of a rash of COVID-related scratches at the position. Next Sunday's matchup against the Falcons may very well call for a more pass-heavy game…read more

  • Effective in starting QB debut

    Hill completed 18 of 23 pass attempts for 233 yards, adding 10 rushes for 51 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 24-9 win against the Falcons. He also lost one fumble.

    Analysis: With Drew Brees (ribs) potentially out through Week 15, coach Sean Payton elected not to turn to Jameis Winston and his 80 career starts against Atlanta. Instead, he entrusted the swiss-army knife talent Hill in his quarterback slot. In fantasy formats where Hill maintained tight end eligibility for Week 11, he proved to be an absolute gold mine. Even if entrusted in a QB slot, however, the BYU product still cashed in with his 284 total yards and two scores. His positional eligibility will be…read more

    Hill will start Sunday's divisional matchup against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Though Jameis Winston filled in for an injured Drew Brees (chest) midway through last weekend's win over the 49ers, Hill has since received all of New Orleans' first-team reps in practice. The versatile signal-caller is now on track to draw his first career start against the Falcons, while Winston serves as his backup. Schefter also notes that Winston won't be involved in any portion of the Saints' offensive gameplan, a hint that the team doesn't foresee the possibility of making any sort of…read more

    Hill has been receiving the reps with the No. 1 offense at practice this week and may start Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean Payton said Monday that he wouldn't name a starting quarterback until the end of the week, but it appears Hill is trending toward being the fill-in starter this weekend with Drew Brees (ribs) sidelined. Payton should provide more information after Friday's practice.

  • Battling for starting QB role

    Coach Sean Payton said Monday that he won't name a starting quarterback until the end of the week following news that Drew Brees (ribs) is out 2-to-3 weeks, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jameis Winston came in after Brees exited Sunday's win over the 49ers, and he's the favorite to get the start this Sunday against the Falcons. Nevertheless, both quarterbacks should get work with the first-team offense during the practice week before Payton reveals his final verdict. Even if Winston is named the starter, Hill will be utilized plenty in his typical gadget role and could toss a few more passes than usual because of the circumstances.

  • Eight carries in Week 10 win

    Hill rushed eight times for 45 yards in the Saints' 27-13 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Despite Drew Brees (ribs) only playing the first half of the contest, Hill mixed in sparingly at quarterback behind Jameis Winston and didn't attempt a pass. He instead saw eight carries out of the backfield and has now rushed 20 times across his last three outings. Even if Brees is forced to miss time moving forward, Hill will likely backup Winston and won't be a recommended fantasy play outside of deeper leagues.

  • Versatility shines in blowout win

    Hill completed both of his pass attempts for 48 yards, rushed seven times for 54 yards and caught his lone target for 21 yards in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: In a game the Saints led handily throughout, Hill got a chance to dig into his versatile toolbox by making an impact as a passer, receiver and running back, leading the team in rushing yards along the way. Hill continues to see work and mostly is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option when the Saints are playing in a competitive game.

  • Catches TD pass in OT win

    Hill carried the ball five times for 35 yards and caught both his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bears.

    Analysis: With the Saints' receiving corps extremely short-handed, Hill saw a season high in touches while scoring his second TD of the year, and his first receiving TD. Depending on the health of Michael Thomas (hamstring), Emmanuel Sanders (COVID) and other WRs, Hill could again see a few plays called for him in Week 9 against the Buccaneers.

  • Does little in Week 7 victory

    Hill completed his only pass attempt for no gain and added a six-yard carry in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Even with Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID) out of action, Hill didn't see an expanded role in the offense. Hill's weekly sprinkling of touches has yet to yield meaningful fantasy value this season, and that's likely to continue in Week 8 against a strong Chicago defense.

  • Scores in OT victory

    Hill rushed three times for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-27 overtime win against the Chargers.

    Analysis: He also fell incomplete on his only pass attempt and failed to bring in either of his two targets. Hill continues to be involved in the offense with a handful of touches per week, but he can remain on the waiver wire as nothing more than a desperation boom-or-bust option even in deep leagues.

    Hill carried three times for six yards and caught his only target for eight yards in the Saints' 35-29 win over the Lions on Sunday.

  • Three touches in loss

    Hill carried twice for six yards and brought in his only target for one yard in the Saints' 37-30 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: He also lost a fumble. Hill's 2019 career year seems a distant memory, as he's now totaled just 10 touches through the first three weeks of the season. With Alvin Kamara and Drew Brees both in full health this season, Hill's roles as a receiver and option quarterback have shrunk considerably. He can't be comfortably utilized in most fantasy formats.

  • Musters two touches in loss

    Hill carried twice for eight yards in the Saints' 34-24 loss to the Raiders on Monday.

    Analysis: After totaling five touches and operating as a passer, running back and receiver in Week 1, Hill took a step back in Week 2 and saw limited action in the loss. Hill's limited volume makes him a highly unpredictable option from week-to-week, and his services are best reserved for deep leagues.

  • Shows versatility in Week 1 win

    Hill completed his only pass attempt for 38 yards, adding three rushes for 13 yards and a 14-yard reception in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: As expected, Hill operated as a gadget player and did a bit of everything in Sunday's victory. He scored a career-high seven touchdowns in 2019, and he's capable of a big game every time he takes the field. However, his highly touchdown-dependent value makes him a volatile fantasy option.

  • Likely third-string QB

    Hill would not be considered the immediate backup in the event Drew Brees were to miss time, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This probably shouldn't be much of a surprise considering Teddy Bridgewater took over during the six weeks Brees was out in 2019, but Hill's $16.3 million offseason extension certainly adds a bit more weight to the 29-year-old's claims to the backup throne. Jameis Winston poses a formidable foe given his starting resume, but ironically Hill's versatility is probably the ultimate detriment considering his ability to impact the team in a number of different ways.

  • Inks contract extension

    Hill has signed a contract extension with the Saints, Amie Just of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Per Just, the deal is "essentially a one-year extension to the first-round tender the Saints placed on Hill in free agency." In that context, Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that Sunday's agreement with the QB effectively amounts to a one-year, $16.3 million extension. Hill is thus slated to remain in the New Orleans signal-caller mix through the 2021 campaign. This coming season, he'll continue to work behind long-term starter Drew Brees as well garner touches in the team's offense as a gadget…read more

  • Offer sheet deadline passes

    Hill didn't sign an offer sheet before the passing of Friday's deadline and will remain with New Orleans for the 2020 season, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old has yet to officially sign his contract tender, but he's no longer able to negotiate with other teams. The Saints placed a first-round tender on Hill in March, which will be worth $4.641 million for the upcoming season. He's set to serve as New Orleans' backup quarterback behind Drew Brees following the departure of Teddy Bridgewater via free agency, but Hill is still expected to work in the gadget role he's become known for.

  • Gets first-round tender

    The Saints have placed a first-round tender on Hill, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports.

    Analysis: As expected, New Orleans made the move, which almost assuredly means Hill is in a Saints uniform in 2020. With Teddy Bridgewater expected to move on, Hill will move into the backup job to starting QB Drew Brees. Hill's gadget role in the offense shouldn't dry up, though, after he posted 119 passing yards, 590 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns over the past two campaigns.

  • In line for first-round tender

    The Saints are expected to place a first-round tender on Hill, who is a restricted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Hill has been a gadget player in the Saints offense the past two seasons, racking up 119 yards on 13 passes, 64 carries for 352 yards, 22 catches for 238 yards and nine total touchdowns while playing all 32 regular-season contests. With Drew Brees committed to playing in 2020 and Teddy Bridgewater almost certainly moving on as an unrestricted free agent, Hill seems resigned to serve as the backup QB in the Big Easy. If New Orleans proceeds with the aforementioned tender, the organization will…read more

  • Wants to play QB eventually

    Hill said he'll leave New Orleans if he doesn't eventually get a chance to start at quarterback, Rob Maaddi of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Hill presumably understands that he won't have a shot at the starting job until Drew Brees decides to retire, something that hasn't officially been determined but doesn't seem likely to happen this offseason. Hill may be hinting at a desire to replace Teddy Bridgewater -- an impending free agent -- as the No. 2 quarterback, though it would be tricky for the 29-year-old to take on that responsibility while also handling his accustomed roles as a gadget player on offense and a member of multiple…read more

  • Headed for bigger role in 2020?

    Drew Brees said he'd be fine with Hill taking more snaps in 2020, Chris Simms of NBC Sports reports.

    Analysis: Brees hasn't officially decided on playing another season but seems to be leaning in that direction. A few recent reports have suggested the Saints view Hill as Brees' eventual replacement at quarterback, which hints at Teddy Bridgewater finding a new team when he becomes a free agent this offseason. An expanded role for Hill in 2020 could involve more snaps at quarterback, or it could just mean more playing time as a wide receiver, tight end or running back.

  • Blows up for 125 yards in OT loss

    Hill completed his only pass attempt for 50 yards and caught both of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 26-20 overtime wild-card loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: He also rushed for 50 yards on just four carries. Hill did a bit of everything Sunday and looked to be the more explosive Saints' quarterback on the afternoon. The 50-yard completion was a career-long connection, the rushing yards led the team and the 125 scrimmage yards were a career high in Hill's final game of the 2019 season. The third-year BYU product ended his third season in New Orleans with a career-best 445 scrimmage yards and seven total touchdowns. He'll be a restricted free agent in…read more

  • Scores long receiving touchdown

    Hill rushed two times for four yards, adding a 45-yard reception touchdown in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The jack-of-all-trades player broke free for a 45-yard score Sunday to cap a productive season. On the year, Hill has accumulated 390 total yards and seven total touchdowns, lining up as a running back, receiver and quarterback. He will likely play a similar role for New Orleans in the playoffs.

  • Gets involved all over the field

    Hill completed one of two pass attempts for 20 yards, adding two carries for 11 yards and catching both of his targets for an additional 21 yards in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hill mixed in all over the field Sunday, getting involved in the passing, rushing and receiving games. His production, however, remained minor, as Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas led the way in typical fashion. Hill is a fine player for the Saints' real-world operation, as he creates mismatches and provides dynamic athleticism at a number of different positions. He's not worth rostering outside of deep, two-quarterback leagues for fantasy purposes, though.

  • Catches touchdown in win

    Hill corralled both of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown, adding one yard on two carries in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.

    Analysis: Hill caught Drew Brees' final touchdown of the evening, bringing in a 28-yard score at the end of the third quarter to put New Orleans up 34-0. The multi-faceted quarterback is always a threat to score when the Saints scheme the ball to him, but he can't be relied on for consistent fantasy production due to his low weekly volume.

  • Falls back to earth

    Hill failed to complete his only pass attempt, adding five carries for 13 yards and a 12-yard reception in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Last week's two-touchdown Thanksgiving bonanza is in the distant rear view, as Hill fell back to earth for a typical stat line in Sunday's loss. The rushing attempts were a season-high, though game script -- influenced by a combined 94 points scored -- likely contributed to that bump in usage out of the backfield. Hill shouldn't be utilized outside of deep two-quarterback leagues, and his value is almost entirely touchdown-dependent.

  • Scores twice in career game

    Hill rushed twice for 33 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 12 yards and an additional touchdown in the Saints' 26-18 win over the Falcons on Thursday.

    Analysis: Hill had himself a day, producing the first multi-score effort of his career. He got things going early with a three-yard reception touchdown, before taking a direct snap and darting through the line for a 30-yard scamper just before halftime. The versatile quarterback has flashed his elite athleticism throughout his career, though he rarely logs more than a handful of touches per game, making this an outlier performance.

  • Logs one reception in win

    Hill secured his only target for no gain in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: New Orleans' triple threat put up a donut in the box score in Sunday's win, seeing almost no action in the divisional shootout. Despite his part-time roles as a passer, runner and receiver, Hill has totaled just 30 combined yards over his last four games. He should be left on the waiver wire even in the deepest of leagues.

  • Goes for four yards in win

    Hill rushed once for two yards, adding a two-yard reception in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a typical day at the office for Hill, who saw brief work as a back and a receiver in Sunday's rout of the Bucs. Hill's ability to line up anywhere on the field makes him a valuable real-world player for the Saints. However, his relatively sparse weekly usage makes him avoidable in almost any fantasy format.

  • Totals three touches in loss

    Hill completed his only pass attempt for 17 yards, adding an 11-yard carry and a three-yard reception in the Saints' 26-9 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Hill's utility as a gadget player was on full display in Sunday's tilt, as he saw action as a passer, rusher and receiver. Despite the return of Drew Brees, Hill's role has remained steady as a low-volume, jack-of-all-trades player, and that usage hasn't parlayed into much success as a consistent fantasy option this season.
