New Orleans Saints LB Willie Gay Jr. (hand), TE Taysom Hill (rib), OG Cesar Ruiz (knee), OG Shane Lemieux (ankle), DE Payton Turner (knee) and PK Blake Grupe (hip) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3. Also, OT Taliese Fuaga (back), RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs), WR A.T. Perry (hamstring), TE Juwan Johnson (forearm), DT Bryan Bresee (ankle), RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) and LB Demario Davis (hamstring) were limited and WR Chris Olave (hamstring) and WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ankle) practiced in full.

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) did not practice on Thursday, Oct. 3.

Fantasy Spin: Hill is not off to a good start to the week but has a few more days to get right. The QB/RB masquerading as a TE found pay dirt twice last week but had just 24 rushing yards and didn't get catch any passes. He remains a boom-or-bust TE2 entering Week 5.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) has rib fractures and was held out of Thursday's practice, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Head coach Dennis Allen did not explain any detail regarding the severity of the injury, but this will now jeopardize Hill's status for Monday's game. The 34-year-old was previously sidelined in Week 3 due to a bruised lung. However, before suffering the rib injury last weekend, Hill was able to find the end zone twice on six rushing attempts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Hill's status over the weekend in case he can suit up. If not, Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau should see the majority of snaps at the tight end position.

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (ribs) is dealing with fractured ribs, according to head coach Dennis Allen.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see when Hill will be able to return to the lineup. He has fantasy value because of his running ability and could also see a few targets in the passing game. He can be a possible starting option in some leagues when cleared to play.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (abdomen) suffered a new rib injury in Week 4 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Dennis Allen emphasized that while this injury is in a similar location as the chest injury that sidelined him in Week 3, this is a new issue unrelated to his previous ailment. It's unfortunate that Hill has struggled to stay healthy early in the year given the element of excitement and versatility he brings to the offense. The 34-year-old ultimately rushed for 24 yards and two touchdowns before exiting Sunday's game, showcasing his impressive ability to find the end zone and deliver major production to fantasy managers deploying him at the tight end position. If Hill is healthy going forward, he'll rank as a low-end TE1 based on his rushing and touchdown upside.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (abdomen) had six runs for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons before leaving with an abdominal injury. He was not targeted in the pass game. Hill was unable to return after departing early.

Fantasy Spin: Hill was on his way to a pretty decent fantasy stat line due to the touchdowns. The extent of his injury is not certain. When more details become available, we'll pass along to try and help determine his status for Week 5 in Kansas City on Monday.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (abdomen) suffered an abdominal injury during the Week 4 game and will not return.

Fantasy Spin: Hill was playing very well before the injury, so fantasy players should monitor the situation to see how long Hill will be sidelined.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints utility player Taysom Hill (abdomen) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He had six rushes for 24 yards and two touchdowns at the time of his departure. Hill has been able to inject an element of life into the Saints' offense numerous times throughout his career, so losing him is bad news for New Orleans. With that said, the Saints will still be able to run the ball effectively thanks to the impact of Alvin Kamara out of the backfield. Kamara and Jamaal Williams should handle all rushing duties for the Saints until Hill is healthy enough to play again.

New Orleans Saints utilityman Taysom Hill (chest) is ready to get back to action in Week 4. The notorious jack of all trades missed the Saints' previous outing against the Eagles while dealing with a chest injury suffered in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Hill was mostly left out of the Saints' prolific offensive output in their first two games of 2024, getting a total of 10 touches and 55 scrimmage yards but that might change when the team takes on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. With running back Alvin Kamara (hips/ribs) limited in practice all week and wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) added to the injury report on Friday, Hill may be in line for his first big game of 2024. The boom-or-bust cycle of Hill's career skews towards the latter but given the health of his teammates, his versatility, and the overall production (or lack thereof) at tight end league-wide, Hill might be a risk worth taking at tight end in Week 4.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints LB Demario Davis (hamstring), OG Cesar Ruiz (knee) and WR A.T. Perry (hamstring) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 27, and have been ruled out for Week 4. Also, WR Cedrick Wilson (ankle) did not practice and is questionable, WR Chris Olave (hamstring) and RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) were limited and are questionable and QB Derek Carr (groin), TE Taysom Hill (chest), LB D'Marco Jackson (calf), DT Khalen Saunders (calf), OT Landon Young (foot) and CB Alontae Taylor (illness) practiced in full and carry no designation.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) practiced in full once again on Friday, Sept. 27, and carries no designation for Week 4.

Fantasy Spin: Despite being listed as a tight end, Hill, who missed last week due to injury, has seen more work in the rushing attack than anything else. Per usual, he's a boom-or-bust TE2 option that could see more work on the ground if RB Alvin Kamara (hips/ribs, questionable) sits.

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) practiced in full once again on Thursday, Sept. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Hill is squarely on track to return this week but remains a boom-or-bust TE2 play.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, according to John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated. Hill appears to be making significant progress after missing Week 3 due to injury. The veteran playmaker's full participation in practice suggests that he's on track to play against the Atlanta Falcons without any limitations this coming Sunday, barring a setback. Hill didn't deliver enough production to make him a top fantasy option through the first two weeks of the season, but his role as the Saints' Swiss army knife still gives him some fantasy appeal going forward. He should be treated as a mid-range TE2 this week.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Fantasy Spin: Hill appears to be on track to return to the lineup after missing some time because of the injury. He likely will be involved in the running and passing game if he plays but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (lung) didn't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was uncertain to play entering the contest after being hospitalized following the Week 2 meeting with the Cowboys with a chest injury. Fox's Jay Glazer shed more light on the issue, with the NFL insider reporting the 34-year-old has a bruised lung. Considering the delicate nature of this type of injury, it may take Hill a little longer to heal. With that in mind, fantasy managers will await an update ahead of the Saints' Week 4 game versus the Atlanta Falcons. In the meantime, Juwan Johnson could see a few more targets behind Foster Moreau. However, Johnson has limited value in multi-tight end setups.

From RotoBaller

The New Orleans Saints have declared WR A.T. Perry, LB D'Marco Jackson, QB Spencer Rattler, TE Taysom Hill, WR Bub Means and DL Khalen Saunders inactive for Week 3.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been ruled out for Week 3's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Spin: Hill logged a pair of limited practice sessions during the week but saw his injury report status downgraded from questionable to doubtful to out over the last 48 hours. TE Foster Moreau will likely receive the starting nod but he and the other New Orleans tight ends can be ignored for fantasy purposes this afternoon.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest), who was doubtful to play in the Week 3 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, has officially been ruled out on Sunday. Hill suffered a chest injury in the Week 2 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys and was even hospitalized shortly before being released. The do-it-all offensive weapon will now try to work his way back for a Week 4 meeting against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons next weekend. The 34-year-old is one of the most versatile players in all of football, but he has only eight carries for 53 yards and has caught two of his three targets for two yards in two blowout victories for the Saints so far in 2024, so it's hard to really rely on him in fantasy as anything more than a boom/bust TE2 on a weekly basis. With Hill sidelined against Philly, expect more targets for Juwan Johnson.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran tight end left the Week 2 win over the Dallas Cowboys with a chest injury and spent time at a local hospital getting tests done. Thankfully, he avoided a significant injury. However, Hill was a limited participant in practice the past two days, making him a likely longshot to play against the Eagles. Juwan Johnson will see an uptick in targets and snaps, with Hill likely out of the lineup.
