Fantasy Football Player Notes

Taysom Hill is set to reprise his jack-of-all-trades role for the Saints, pitching in as a runner and, occasionally as a receiver and passer. Hill is listed as a QB on the Saints' depth chart, but he has TE eligibility on a number of fantasy platforms. His role fluctuates from week-to-week, making him a volatile fantasy asset. He had more than 15 PPR fantasy points in four games last season and topped the 20-point mark twice, but he also had seven games in which he finished with fewer than five fantasy points. The Saints have vowed that Hill will continue to play a prominent role in their offense. Consider Hill a boom-or-bust TE2.

Juwan Johnson has been a difficult player to get a read on for fantasy. Over the last two seasons, he's had 79 catches for 876 yards and 11 touchdowns. Johnson finished TE15 in PPR fantasy scoring in 2022, but he missed four games last season and slipped to TE26. It's worth noting that Johnson finished the 2023 season on a high note, with 15-178-2 over his last three games. Johnson missed much of training camp with a foot injury but is expected to be ready for Week 1. He's an interesting TE sleeper considering how little pass-catching firepower the Saints have at the WR position other than Chris Olave.
