Taysom Hill Listed as QB2, Will Remain in Normal Gadget Role
Taysom Hill (knee) will be listed second on the depth chart behind quarterback Spencer Rattler during Sunday's Week 5 game against the New York Giants, according to Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com. However, Hill will operate out of his usual gadget role, which could include designed runs, targets, and pass attempts. As Duncan notes, listing Hill as the QB2 gives New Orleans some flexibility. He'll handle his gadget role as usual, but if Rattler were to get injured, Hill could simply slide in as the quarterback. This means that rookie Tyler Shough will likely be inactive as the emergency third quarterback. For now, Hill, who was activated from the PUP list on Saturday, is nothing more than a speculative bench stash in deeper leagues. However, we know from previous seasons that he has top-12 tight end upside, as he's capable of contributing rushing, receiving, and passing stats at the tight end position.
