Adjusts contract details
Hill restructured his contract Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The move, coupled with a restructuring of linebacker Demario Davis' contract, gives the Saints close to $13 million in cap space. Despite playing in four more games this season, Hill saw almost 100 less offensive snaps than 2021, but he still set a career high in total yards (652), specifically emerging as a dangerous ball carrier to the tune of 6.0 yards per carry (on 96 attempts). The Saints are expected to be in the hunt for one of the top quarterbacks on the open market, meaning Hill likely…read more

Subdued outing Week 18
Hill recorded five carries for 24 yards and hauled in his only target for one yard during Sunday's 10-7 defeat versus Carolina.
Analysis: Hill saw a downturn in workload during Sunday's regular-season finale, as he logged his fewest number of touches since the Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay. The 32-year-old was limited by a back injury during Week 18 prep, so it's possible that issue could have affected his usage. Hill finishes the 2022 campaign with career lows as a passer, completing 13 of 19 attempts for 240 yards and two touchdowns. Instead, his versatile role on offense shifted distinctly toward the ground game, as he recorded…read more

Active Sunday
Hill (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Hill experienced a cap on his practice reps Wednesday through Friday due to a back issue and exited Week 18 prep as questionable to suit up Sunday. With his availability now confirmed, he can continue his typical gadget role in the Saints offense, which involves far more work on the ground than any other aspect at this point in his career. In 15 appearances this season, Hill has reeled off 6.1 YPC and seven touchdowns on his 91 rushes, but he's also added a pair of scores as both a passer and…read more

Deemed questionable for Week 18
The Saints list Hill (back) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Hill and fellow tight end Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) are both taking questionable tags into the weekend, though the two fill wildly different roles in the New Orleans offense despite being listed as position mates. While Johnson serves as the Saints' top pass catcher at the position, Hill is a more versatile weapon for New Orleans, with most of his opportunities of late coming as the de facto top backup to starting running back Alvin Kamara. If Hill is cleared to play through his back issue,…read more

Limited in practice again
Hill (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Hill maintained limited activity in practice for the second straight day, but Saints head coach Dennis Allen hasn't yet indicated that the versatile 32-year-old is a candidate to sit out Sunday's season finale against the Panthers. Before the Saints decide whether to give Hill an injury designation for the weekend, they will see what he can do at Friday's practice. If he suits up for the season finale, Hill will essentially serve as the Saints' backup running back behind Alvin Kamara. Despite…read more

Limited with back injury
Hill was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a back issue.
Analysis: The injury is a new one for the versatile 32-year-old, who took a season-high 14 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown in this past Sunday's 20-10 upset win over the Eagles. In Sunday's matchup with the Saints, both teams are expected to adopt a run-heavy approach with Hill serving as the de facto No. 2 option on the ground for New Orleans if he's able to play through the back injury.

Heavily involved in offense
Hill rushed the ball 14 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Eagles. He added one reception on one target for nine yards and completed both his pass attempts for 24 yards.
Analysis: Hill has seen his involvement as a rusher tick up in recent weeks in the absence of Mark Ingram (knee), and that continued in Sunday's win. He had only two rushing attempts fewer than Alvin Kamara, and his day was highlighted by a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the first quarter. Otherwise, his performance was unremarkable, as he averaged only 3.3 yards per attempt. Nevertheless, the Saints have shown a desire to keep Hill involved in the offense, and that is unlikely to change in a…read more

Helps power rushing in win
Hill logged nine carries for 56 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 17-10 victory over the Browns. He did not record a target or passing attempt.
Analysis: Hill played a primary role in this comeback effort during Saturday's brutally cold and windy conditions. After struggling to establish any consistency with its banged-up receiving corps, New Orleans turned to an option running game between Hill and running back Alvin Kamara, the latter of whom paced the team with 20 rushing attempts for 76 yards. Hill totaled 27 yards on his first two carries in the second quarter, and he finished with his most carries since the Week 8 win over Las Vegas. This…read more

Could benefit from poor weather
Hill may be in store for more carries than usual in Saturday's game against the Browns due to a forecast in Cleveland that includes frigid temperatures and sustained winds of almost 30 miles per hour, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Hill is listed as tight end on the Saints' official roster, he continues to be deployed in a variety of ways on offense. In last week's win over the Falcons, he completed a 68-yard touchdown pass and added another 12-yard completion, but Hill saw his most involvement on the ground, carrying seven times for 30 yards. With New Orleans down two key receivers in Chris Olave (hamstring) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) and with the heavy winds likely to affect the passing game, the Saints may have…read more

Completes long passing TD
Hill logged seven rushes for 30 yards and tallied zero targets during Sunday's 21-18 victory over the Falcons. He also completed both of his passing attempts for 80 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Hill launched a 33-yard pass down the middle of the field to wideout Rashid Shaheed, resulting in a 68-yard touchdown in the first quarter. That marked the Saints' longest play from scrimmage in 2022 as well as Hill's biggest impact as a passer dating back to last year's regular-season finale. The hybrid offensive player made up for his lack of involvement as a receiver, as he continued to serve as a rushing threat while lined up at quarterback. Hill did put the ball on the turf during a…read more

Scores in MNF
Hill hauled in two of three targets for 35 yards and one touchdown to go along with three rushes for 10 yards during Monday's 17-16 loss versus the Buccaneers. He also completed his lone passing attempt for 21 yards.
Analysis: Hill caught the Saints' lone touchdown of the game, as he got behind the Buccaneers' defense for a 30-yard score in the second quarter. This was Hill's first game with a touchdown since Week 7 against Arizona, and his untraditional usage still makes it difficult to predict his value week to week. A banged-up Saints squad will have additional time to rest and recover while on bye Week 14.

Limited production in loss
Hill rushed six times for 13 yards, caught one pass for seven yards and failed to complete his lone pass attempt in Sunday's 13-0 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Hill was denied by the 49ers' stout defense anytime the versatile player was called upon. The seven touches were nice from the tight-end eligible fantasy asset, but everyone struggled offensively with the Saints being shut out for the first time since 2002. Hill has the ability to pop off for crooked fantasy totals, but his recent stretch of stinkers really highlights the boom-or-bust nature of his utility. The Swiss army knife will look to get his season back on track in an important matchup…read more

Regains versatile role
Hill tallied nine rushes for 52 yards and reeled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Rams. He also completed one of three passes for 14 yards.
Analysis: Hill returned to form coming off his two least productive outings of the season. After totaling just two touches for seven yards since Week 8, the 32-year-old finished with a team high in rushing yards ahead of running back Alvin Kamara in Week 11. Hill also secured his fifth catch of the season as quarterback Andy Dalton, whose starting job has come under much scrutiny recently, went 21-for-25 passing for 260 yards and three touchdowns against the Rams. The versatile Hill looked to pass on…read more

Disappears in loss
Hill compiled three rushes for one yard and zero targets during Sunday's 20-10 loss against the Steelers. He also failed to complete his lone passing attempt.
Analysis: Hill was a nonfactor for the second week in a row as New Orleans' offense continued to sputter against the Steelers. After logging a season-high 10 rushes and two targets in Week 9, the 32-year-old has accumulated seven yards on four touches over the past two games. The Saints also totaled just 29 team rushing yards with three of five starting offensive lineman injured either before or during Sunday's game. While it's hard to separate Hill's lack of production from these broader offensive…read more

Minimal usage in loss
Hill had one rush for six yards and failed to haul in his lone target during Monday's 27-13 loss against Baltimore. He also completed one pass for 13 yards.
Analysis: Hill logged his least productive outing of 2022, as the Saints gained just 243 total yards of offense against the Ravens' tough defense and the quarterback-turned-gadget player totaled fewer than four touches for the first time this season. Hill might play a bigger role if the Saints opt to take the ball out of quarterback Andy Dalton's hands more often against Pittsburgh on Sunday, but Dalton's Week 9 struggles could also open the door for Jameis Winston to reclaim the starting job.

Effective on ground
Hill rushed 10 times for 61 yards and caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders. He also completed his only passing attempt for two yards.
Analysis: Hill filled his patented jack-of-all-trades role, gaining yards as a runner, receiver and passer. With the Saints winning comfortably, Hill garnered a season high in rushing attempts despite starting tailback Alvin Kamara scoring three times overall. With a difficult Monday night matchup versus the Ravens looming in Week 9, Hill's versatility could help the Saints move the ball.

Multi-faceted role in loss
Hill completed both of his pass attempts for 48 yards, rushed three times for nine yards and secured his only target for a three-yard touchdown in the Saints' 42-34 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday night.
Analysis: Hill turned in another trademark performance that saw him involved in all three phases of offense. The versatile playmaker was able to also find the end zone as a receiver on a three-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter, giving him his first score in that capacity since 2020. Irrespective of whether it's Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston under center for New Orleans, it appears head coach Dennis Allen will continue to deploy Hill in the versatile role that's worked well in nearly every…read more

Involved on nine offensive plays
Hill (ribs) rushed five times for 39 yards and completed two of four pass attempts for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Hill was limited by a rib injury at practice this week, but he was able to suit up and provide his unorthodox blend of statistics. The 32-year-old fell back to earth after a monster four-touchdown performance in Week 5, as he was keyed in on defensively whenever he set foot on the field. The Saints appear set on having a traditional pocket quarterback under center (either Andy Dalton or Jameis Winston) while keeping Hill limited to specific packages and limited touches heading into a matchup…read more

Puts in full practice Thursday
Hill (ribs) practiced in full Thursday.
Analysis: One day removed from having practice limitations Wednesday, Hill again was running on all cylinders on the field. He thus seems poised to be a big part of the Saints offense Sunday against the Bengals, as both Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) were non-participants, while Chris Olave (concussion) was limited. If the team's receiving corps remains banged up this weekend, New Orleans again may be run-focused, allowing Hill to be heavily involved alongside Alvin Kamara.

Dealing with minor rib injury
Hill (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Hill was listed with the same injury last week, but he ended up suiting up in Sunday's win over the Seahawks and proceeded to score three touchdowns on the ground while passing for a fourth. He even picked up 112 yards on nine carries after taking no more than five carries in each of his first three games this season. Hill is unlikely to match the Week 5 eruption anytime soon, but the red-zone-heavy rushing work is enough to give him some value in formats where he's classified as a tight end…read more

Explodes for four total touchdowns
Hill rushed the ball nine times for 112 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 39-32 win over the Seahawks. He also completed his lone pass attempt for 22 yards and an additional score.
Analysis: Hill took advantage of Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (groin) being inactive to emerge as one of New Orleans' key playmakers. He accounted for four of the team's five touchdowns, with rushing scores coming from eight, nine and 60 yards away. Hill also delivered on his lone pass attempt when he hit Adam Trautman down the seam for a 22-yard score late in the third quarter. Prior to Sunday's game, Hill had 13 total offensive touches across three games, but his Week 5 performance might…read more

Hill (ribs) practiced fully Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: With Jameis Winston's status in limbo due to back and ankle injuries, Hill is in line to serve as the backup quarterback to Andy Dalton as long as Winston is unavailable. Winston hasn't practiced since Week 3 prep, and his status for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks may gain clarity as soon as Friday. Hill has yet to throw a pass in three games this season, instead rushing 12 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns and hauling in his only target for two yards.

Reaches end zone
Hill rushed the ball five times for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Hill was designated as the backup quarterback with Jameis Winston (hip/back/ankle) sidelined, but he got involved in the game as a rusher with Alvin Kamara (ribs) also sidelined. He did the majority of his damage on a pair of drives, with his primary damage coming on a drive early in the fourth quarter, when he tallied a rush of 13 yards and also plunged into the end zone for a two-yard score. Hill should continue to get work as a gadget player, particularly if the Saints remain without Kamara,…read more

Set to serve as backup QB
Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Saints in London, so Andy Dalton is expected to draw the start, leaving Hill as the backup quarterback, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.
Analysis: Hill missed Week 3 due to a rib issue and was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Week 4. During his limited sessions, Hill was mixed in as the second-string quarterback, while Dalton handled the first-team reps.

Analysis: Hill has stuck to a gadget role through the first two contests of this season, hauling in his only target for two yards while taking seven carries for 95 yards and one touchdown.

Only three touches in Week 2
Hill rushed three times for 14 yards and finished without a passing attempt or target in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: It was surprising that Hill wasn't leaned on more given the absence of running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) and Jameis Winston's struggles passing (1:3 TD:INT). While Hill''s eligibility at tight end in some formats makes him an intriguing fantasy option, it will be tough for him to produce consistently given his limited touches. Hill has seven carries, one catch on two targets and no passing attempts on the season heading into a Week 3 road game against the Panthers.

Makes most of limited touches
Hill ran four times for 81 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards during Sunday's 27-26 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Hill's first touch of the game came on the Saints' second offensive drive and went for 57 yards. Two plays later, he finished the job with an 11-yard touchdown run. The do-it-all weapon got a chance to be the Saints' starting quarterback last year, but with Jameis Winston back to full strength, he's been relegated to his change-of-pace role, which may be what suits his skill set best.

Holtz and Lucas Krull will be the Saints' available tight ends Friday.

Hill recorded one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Hill managed to make his preseason debut Friday after dealing with a series of injuries this offseason, starting with surgery to repair a Lisfranc issue. He subsequently bruised his ribs at the start of training camp and was sidelined for several days. He didn't make a significant impact on the game Friday, but he was on the field with the offensive unit that began the game and should compete for reps with Adam Trautman to begin the season.

Hill was called on to make four starts at quarterback late last season after Jameis Winston tore his ACL in Week 8, with mixed results.

Analysis: Hill was expected to miss 6-to-9 months after undergoing surgery in January to repair a Lisfranc injury of his left foot, which would put his return timetable close to Week 1. The dynamic playmaker is expected to focus solely on the tight-end position in 2022 after former head coach Sean Payton deployed Hill as a dual-threat quarterback. When healthy, Hill will compete with Adam Trautman, Nick Vannett and Juwan Johnson for snaps.

Focusing on TE position
Coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that the plan is for Hill (foot) to "focus" on playing tight end, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: The Saints' new coaching staff doesn't appear as intrigued with Hill's potential as a dual-threat quarterback as Sean Payton once was. This offseason, it appears that Hill will return to a familiar gadget role that primarily involves taking snaps as a tight end. Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate recently reported that Hill, who is recovering from left foot surgery to address a Lisfranc injury, was never in the mix for the starting quarterback gig this offseason, and the team has since…read more

Not in mix for starting job
The idea of Hill (foot) competing for the Saints' starting job at quarterback has "run its course," Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
Analysis: Given the 6-to-9-month timeline to recover from his Lisfranc injury, Hill was not certain to be ready for the start of the 2022 campaign anyway. However, with Sean Payton now retired, it appears the Payton-led Hill experiment may be over regardless. Not only did New Orleans find limited success with Hill as a starter, he could hardly hold up to increased usage in a part-time role given the laundry list of injuries he dealt with last season. Instead, it seems that Hill will go back to being used…read more

Long recovery on tap
Hill is expected to need six -to-nine months of recovery following surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reports.
Analysis: It's important to note the Saints have not officially announced a recovery timeline, but given the nature of previous Lisfranc injuries, the aforementioned timeframe is a fair guess. Hill will undergo two separate surgeries this offseason in order to repair the injury with the latter likely occurring sometime after the 2022 NFL Draft. The 31-year-old dual-threat quarterback did start the year behind Jameis Winston, but after the 2015 No. 1 overall pick tore his ACL in Week 8, Hill eventually…read more

Requires surgery
Hill was diagnosed Monday with a Lisfranc injury to his left foot and will require surgery, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hill exited Sunday's season-ending win over Atlanta and will undergo surgery to repair the issue, followed by a second procedure later in the offseason to remove the hardware from his foot. Head coach Sean Payton said Monday that he didn't yet have a timetable for the quarterback's recovery. The 31-year-old completed 78 of 134 passes for 978 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing 70 times for 374 yards and five touchdowns across 12 appearances in 2021, finishing the season…read more

Injures foot in Week 18
Hill sustained a foot injury during Sunday's contest in Atlanta, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: As the Saints returned to the field from halftime, coach Sean Payton told Laura Okmin on the Fox broadcast that Hill has a Lisfranc injury. Payton also relayed, "If he can go, he will go." Hill wasn't spotted on the sideline to begin the third quarter, and Trevor Siemian remained under center, so it's unclear if Hill actually will get a chance to return. Assuming Hill doesn't, he'll finish Week 18 having completed seven of nine passes for 107 yards and one touchdown and logging five carries for…read more

Exits Sunday's game early
Hill left Sunday's game in Atlanta with an undisclosed injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Hill went down awkwardly on a short run in the second quarter, and after attempting to get up he sat on the turf for a spell before making his way to the sideline tent. He then walked slowly to the locker room with his right shoe in his hand, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The nature of Hill's health concern is unknown, but Trevor Siemian took over quarterback duties in his stead.

Quiet in Sunday's win
Hill completed 17 of 28 passes for 222 yards and a touchdown and added 45 rushing yards on 12 carries in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The QB was the Saints' leading rusher on the afternoon, but it was still a modest performance from a fantasy perspective as the team once again relied on its defense for a victory. Hill will look to end his regular season on a high note, and potentially lead New Orleans into the playoffs, in Week 18 against the Falcons.

Comes off COVID-19 list
The Saints activated Hill (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Considering this activation occurred two days after the Saints' last game Monday against the Dolphins, Hill wasn't particularly close to gaining clearance to play Week 16. Trevor Siemian (illness) also came off the COVID-19 list Wednesday, setting him up to act as the No. 2 quarterback on New Orleans' active roster while pushing rookie Ian Book to his usual spot as the third signal-caller. Hill will resume working with the first-team offense in advance of Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.

If Hill is vaccinated and asymptomatic, he'll be eligible to play Monday against the Dolphins, but the Saints already seem to be proceeding as though neither he nor top backup Trevor Siemian (illness) will be available to return from the list Week 16.

Though both Hill and Siemian, if vaccinated, could theoretically clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols in advance of Monday, the Saints are seemingly preparing as though neither quarterback will be available.

Leads team in upset victory
Hill completed 13 of 27 pass attempts for 154 yards and rushed 11 times for 33 yards with no touchdowns or turnovers in Sunday's 9-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Hill led a slow-plodding offense behind a banged-up offensive line to an upset victory over Tom Brady and Co. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, the 30-year-old was unable to replicate the strong rushing numbers from his last two contests (22-174-2) to offset his poor passing totals. Hill will look to get back on track from a fantasy perspective in a matchup with playoff implications against Miami next Monday.

Runs in two late TDs
Hill completed 15 of 21 passes for 175 yards while rushing 11 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-9 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The Saints rode Alvin Kamara (knee) in the star running back's return, but Hill got in on the fun with a two-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. That score gave the Saints an insurmountable 23-6 lead, but Hill wasn't done, scoring again on a 44-yard run with 1:07 remaining. He was on pace for an unremarkable performance prior to the pair of late touchdown runs, and Hill's upside as a passer will remain limited in Week 15 against the Buccaneers due to the Saints' lack of receiving…read more

Hill (finger) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: While making his first start of the season in last Thursday's loss to the Cowboys, Hill slammed his right middle finger on the arm of a Dallas defender while following through on a throw. Though he was able to gut through it and play all 69 offensive snaps, his performance was below par, as he completed 19 of 41 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Hill (finger) isn't expected to need surgery and will attempt to play through an injury known as mallet finger on his throwing hand, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's reportedly not as severe as Russell Wilson's mallet finger earlier this year. That doesn't necessarily mean Hill will be successful -- he did throw four INTs in Thursday's loss to Dallas after injuring his hand -- but he'll at least attempt to continue playing, presumably as the starting QB. It is possible he could move back to his non-QB role if that doesn't work out, in which case Trevor Siemian would step back in under center.

Hill is believed to have torn a tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand, with the injury potentially requiring surgery at some point, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It isn't clear if Hill would get surgery soon or try to play through the injury and wait until the offseason. He's reportedly scheduled for more tests after playing through the injury in the majority of Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Cowboys. The initial belief is that he may have "mallet finger," similar to the injury Seahawks QB Russell Wilson dealt with earlier this year.

Too many turnovers in loss
Hill completed 19 of 41 passes for 264 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in the Saints' 27-17 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night. He also rushed 11 times for 101 yards and played with a splint on his finger after hitting it on the hand of a pass rusher early in the contest, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hill played serviceably as a passer for significant swaths of the contest, and his work on the ground was outstanding, especially in the absence of Alvin Kamara (knee). However, the BYU product, both rusty after not having drawn a start under center all season and hampered after hurting the middle finger on his throwing hand in the first quarter, short-circuited too many drives, particularly in the second half, with his errant throws. Three of the four picks Hill threw came in consecutive…read more

As a result of the issue, Hill has been kept on the sideline the past two contests as an emergency option, but he's poised for his first game action since Week 10 and first start of the campaign, replacing Trevor Siemian in the process.

Head coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that the Saints will wait and see how Hill's foot responds to Wednesday's practice before making an announcement on whether Hill or Trevor Siemian starts Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Hill has been tending to a plantar fascia injury in recent weeks and hasn't seen any game action since Nov. 14 at Tennessee. Instead, he was available as an emergency option Weeks 11 and 12 but ceded every QB rep to Siemian in those contests. With the Saints in the midst of a four-game losing streak, Payton is preparing Hill to take over as the No. 1, and he responded with back-to-back full listings on New Orleans injury reports Monday and Tuesday.

Analysis: Hill has been dealing with a plantar fascia injury recently, but it appears as though he could overtake Trevor Siemian for starting duties once he's deemed healthy enough to play. The 31-year-old signed a four-year, $22.5 million contract extension with the Saints last week and has completed seven of eight passes for 56 yards and a touchdown while rushing 20 times for 104 yards and three touchdowns across seven appearances in 2021.

Still dealing with foot injury
Hill was active for Thursday's 31-6 loss to the Bills, but was deemed an "emergency backup" as he continues to deal with a foot injury, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Hill's absence was certainly pronounced as Trevor Siemian struggled mightily to lead a functioning offense. The gadget quarterback was a full participant in practice all week so it's a little surprising the Saints didn't feel comfortable using Hill, especially as the offense floundered. The newly extended quarterback won't have much time to rehab the injury with the Saints slated to take on the Cowboys next Thursday.

If he continues to serve in his current hybrid role on offense while also contributing on special teams, he'll earn around $10 million annually, while he would reach the upper range of the extension if he eventually emerges as the team's starting quarterback at any point in the next four seasons.

No snaps against Eagles
Hill was active but did not record a snap during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: After managing just one practice this week due to a foot injury, Hill's lack of offensive involvement isn't a huge surprise. Of much bigger concern is the fact that Trevor Siemian has a stranglehold on quarterback duties in the absence of Jameis Winston (knee). It will be interesting to see if Hill gets mixed in down the stretch, but for now it seems as if the Saints prefer keeping him in a gadget role.

Of bigger concern is the fact that the Saints have given the vast majority of work under center to Trevor Siemian in the wake of Jameis Winston's (knee) season-ending injury.

Remains backup, gadget guy
Hill will once again cede the starting quarterback role to Trevor Siemian against the Titans on Sunday, but coach Sean Payton said the team will have some packages for Hill, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill had two pass attempts and one carry last week while playing a total of 17 offensive snaps. His usage will likely come primarily in red-zone packages, which would give Hill a significant enough role to cut into Siemian's upside but not enough playing time for Hill to have much standalone fantasy value outside of formats in which he's eligible at a position other than quarterback.

Handles gadget role against Falcons
Hill completed both of his passes for 33 yards while rushing once for four yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: With Trevor Siemian logging 96 percent of the offensive snaps, Hill only got a few reps at quarterback and ultimately was on the field for just 17 offensive snaps. While Hill nearly managed a rushing touchdown during that time, fantasy owners likely would need much more from the dual-threat QB to consider using him in practically any fantasy format. Unless he gets the starting nod over Siemian, Hill belongs nowhere near fantasy lineups for Week 10 against Tennessee.

Hill suffered a concussion during Sunday's contest at Washington, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hill remained on the turf after taking a hit to the helmet on an attempted catch in the second quarter and needed a cart to get to the locker room. Now that he has a confirmed concussion, he'll be subject to the NFL's protocol for head injuries in order to be cleared to resume game action. While Hill navigates his way through each of the five steps, Trevor Siemian and Ian Book are the remaining quarterbacks on the Saints behind starter Jameis Winston.

Two more rushing touchdowns
Hill completed two of three passes for nine yards and one interception while rushing six times for 28 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He also caught two of two targets for 26 receiving yards.
Analysis: Even though Jameis Winston continues to serve as the primary quarterback, Hill is seeing increasingly more playing time as part of the Saints' red-zone package while now also getting reps as a receiver. After logging four scoreless carries over the first two weeks of the season, Hill has 12 carries for 60 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns over the past two games. However, despite the recent production, Hill is still far away from seeing enough touches to warrant fantasy consideration…read more

Rushes for touchdown
Hill rushed six times for 32 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 28-13 win over New England.
Analysis: Logging 53 percent of the snaps on offense, Hill was used effectively in the run game but didn't attempt a pass with Jameis Winston still working as the primary QB 95 percent of the time. Unless Winston loses his grip as the starting signal-caller, Hill won't see nearly enough touches to warrant fantasy consideration.

Totals 16 rushing yards
Hill rushed twice for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina.
Analysis: Jameis Winston and the Saints offense came crashing back to Earth after an explosive Week 1 blowout of Green Bay. However, Hill seemed to provide a small spark when given a couple of chances. It will be interesting to see if he becomes more involved going forward should Winston's struggles persist.

Handling small offensive role
Hill completed his only pass for three yards while rushing twice for one yard during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Jameis Winston handled the vast majority of playing time while Hill mixed in sporadically, converting two third downs before getting stuffed at the goal line on a designed run. While he was largely effective within his gadget role in reality, Hill didn't see nearly enough playing time to even warrant consideration in two-quarterback fantasy leagues. Given the success of Winston in the season opener, it seems unlikely that will change anytime soon.

Won't be gameday backup
Coach Sean Payton said Monday that Hill won't be the Saints' primary backup quarterback on gamedays due to his other offensive roles and work on special teams, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: One of rookie fourth-round pick Ian Book and Trevor Siemian will instead handle backup duties week-to-week behind Jameis Winston, allowing Payton to utilize Hill freely in the versatile role. Hill is still clearly New Orleans' No. 2 quarterback and will take over starting duties the following week should Winston suffer an injury, but he won't be the in-game replacement in that situation.

Beginning season as backup
The Saints will kick off Week 1 against the Packers with Jameis Winston starting under center, leaving Hill to handle backup duties, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean Payton took his time evaluating all options before officially naming a No. 1 quarterback. Although Hill threw for 138 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's preseason win over the Jaguars while operating with the second unit, Winston was able to lock up the top gig after compiling 123 yards and two touchdowns while working with the starters.

Throws touchdown with second unit
Hill completed 11 of 20 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-21 preseason win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Hill entered the game after Jameis Winston impressed with the starters, the latter of whom completed nine of 10 attempts for 123 yards and two scores. Although Hill was able to toss a touchdown of his own, hitting Lil'Jordan Humphrey on a 14-yard fade in the third quarter, Winston's performance may have been enough to close New Orleans' quarterback competition ahead of Week 1.

To play behind Winston on Monday
Hill will serve as the Saints' second quarterback Monday versus the Jaguars after coach Sean Payton named Jameis Winston the starter for that game, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Hill logged the first three possessions for New Orleans in preseason Week 1, but his stat line (81 yards and one interception) and team output (no points) fell shy of Winston's performance, who led the team to two TDs on five drives. Now Winston will get the first shot with the offense Monday, and more starters will be a part of the action (potentially Alvin Kamara).

Mixed bag in preseason start
Hill completed eight of 12 passes for 81 yards and an interception in Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Ravens. He didn't register a rushing attempt.
Analysis: Hill has been alternating first-team work with Jameis Winston in practice but got the starting nod in this one and played the first three possessions. He led the Saints inside Baltimore's 10-yard line on a strong opening drive that was spoiled by Latavius Murray's fumble, but Hill was picked off on his second drive and almost threw another interception on the next possession, which ended in a punt. Winston then played the final five possessions of the first half, leading a pair of touchdown…read more

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Totals 14 yards in victory
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.
Analysis: Another week, another small workload, as Hill managed just four touches in Sunday's win. He continues to see very little usage in the Saints' offense, and he can be safely left on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of leagues.

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.
