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 re-signed Jameis Winston (knee). What remains to be seen is whether Hill could still operate as a backup quarterback, or if his time under center has run its course entirely for New Orleans.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018
After four years as understudy to Drew Brees, Hill still wasn't handed the starting job, as Jameis Winston re-signed with the Saints. The two competed in camp for the job, with Winston emerging victorious after a big performance in the second week of the preseason. Hill went 3-1 with eight total TDs in his four starts as a QB last year, but it took until the third game before he threw his first TD pass. He also made too many mistakes (13 sacks, five turnovers). He completed 73.7 percent of his attempts in large part because he rarely threw deep - 70 percent of his 121 attempts went 10 yards or less, with only 10 passes of 20-plus yards. Hill's running ability gives him fantasy upside if he's taking all the QB snaps, but that won't be the case right out of the gate. Winston, while flawed, has a stronger arm and far more experience as an NFL starter. Either way, Alvin Kamara is a great receiver out of the backfield, but the wideout corps is underwhelming after Michael Thomas, who is expected to miss the beginning of the season in any case. For either QB to make a fantasy impact, Payton needs to open the playbook, rather than leaning on the dink-and-dunk that defined the final years of the Brees era.
