2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hill is officially listed as a tight end in many fantasy leagues, though the majority of his value comes from plays where he takes the snap. He’s set to reprise his role as a jack of all trades and wildcat quarterback in New Orleans, though the Saints may be more reluctant to sub out pricey new quarterback Derek Carr in key spots. Jameis Winston is still around as the backup, so the dream fantasy scenario of the TE-eligible Hill starting at quarterback is at least two injuries away. Hill should continue to get most of his playing time in red-zone and short-yardage packages, and he has run in 20 touchdowns over the past three seasons while throwing for 10 and catching three. Like last year, Hill – who turns 33 in August – could have a few big games while barely seeing the ball in others. He had only 77 receiving yards in 2022, and of his 575 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, 193 rushing yards and four touchdowns came in two games. Read Past Outlooks

Fills stat sheet Week 18
Hill logged six rushes for 51 yards and caught all four of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 48-17 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Hill returned to form in the Saints' regular-season finale. The 33-year-old was inactive Week 14 with foot and hand injuries, and he totaled just eight touches across the previous three games. However, nothing slowed Hill down Week 18, as he logged his second-most total yards of any game this season. He didn't register any passing attempts Sunday, though this may have been due to a big night for starting quarterback Derek Carr, who completed 22 of 28 passing attempts for 264 yards and four touchdowns. Since the Saints were eliminated from playoff contention Week 18, Hill finishes the 2023 campaign with 81 carries for 401 rushing yards and four rushing scores. He also tallied career highs as a receiver with 33 catches (on 40 targets) for 291 yards and two touchdowns.

Most of the big ADP changes can be easily explained, but there are also guys like Isiah Pacheco and Kenneth Walker dropping down the ranks for unclear reasons.
Tyler Lockett is one of the many big-name WRs with no guaranteed money remaining on a sizable contract, potentially setting up a trade or release in the next few weeks.
Elijah Mitchell has a 15th-round ADP even though he remains just one Christian McCaffrey injury away from fantasy stardom.
Sam LaPorta rewrote the script for rookie tight ends, paving the way for Georgia's Brock Bowers to generate a ton of fantasy hype heading into 2024.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
More receiving opportunities coming
Hill's aiming to be more productive as a pass catcher in 2023, Brenna White of NFL.com reports. "I think running routes and catching balls and stuff that was a foreign thing for me, and I also think because of that we haven't done a ton of it, and I think there's some opportunities there that we just haven't explored yet," Hill said.
ANALYSIS
Hill has often lined up under center on offense, but he's expected to be used sparingly in that role after the Saints signed Derek Carr to be their starting quarterback and brought back Jameis Winston in a backup role. The versatile Hill averaged 84.3 carries and 91.3 passing attempts over the previous three seasons compared to only 10.3 targets per year over that span, but the latter number's likely to climb in 2023 while the first two decline.

The versatile Hill started five games at quarterback last season, providing a major fantasy boost
in formats in which he was eligible at other positions. But new coach Dennis Allen is apparently
not as big a fan of Hill as a dual-threat quarterback as former coach Sean Payton. Allen said in
March that Hill will no longer play quarterback full-time and instead will focus on tight end. Hill
should still take occasional snaps in the Saints’ version of the wildcat formation, in addition to H-
back. But prior to taking over as the starting quarterback last year, Hill had 104 yards and two
touchdowns rushing, four catches for 52 receiving yards and 56 passing yards in seven games
— numbers which don’t warrant consideration in most fantasy formats. Hill might not even be
ready to start the season as he recovers from a Lisfranc injury, and Adam Trautman is the
starting tight end with wideouts Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave vying for
targets. Some fantasy managers in deeper leagues might dedicate a roster spot to Hill for the
small chance he’s asked to step back in under center. If reports are to be believed, though, both
Jameis Winston (knee) and Andy Dalton would have to be unavailable for that to be an option.
