Everything you need to know about quarterback in Week 13

All indications are that Taysom Hill will start on Thursday night for the New Orleans Saints, and if 2020 is any indication, that means a massive shift in the way the Saints offense operates. 

First, let’s start with the running. Hill averaged 10 rush attempts per game in his four starts last year. So far this year, Jameis Winston and Trevor Siemian have combined for fewer than four attempts per game. Even if you factor in Hill’s two attempts per game, that’s a pretty massive swing. Of course, it may not mean fewer attempts for the running backs, because the Saints ran the ball at a 52% clip in Hill’s starts. So far this year the Saints have run the ball on 46% of their offensive plays.

Obviously, more rush attempts mean fewer pass attempts, but that wasn’t the only change to the Saints passing game with Hill under center. In three of his four games, Alvin Kamara had fewer than 10 receiving yards. That evened out because Hill peppered Kamara in the fourth game, but it’s something to watch for.

Essentially, I would view this as a downgrade for everyone on the Saints offense. But the flip side of that is that Hill is instantly the most interesting Fantasy quarterback the Saints have started this season. In leagues that reward four points per pass touchdown he’s a must-start option and he’s a borderline No. 1 even in a standard CBS league. He’s also the top streamer in that section below.
