Taysom Hill Confirmed As Week 13 Starter
3 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill will indeed start on Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys to kick off Week 13 action, according to a source. Hill has been dealing with a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his foot, but he practiced in full all week and has been cleared to take over under center for Trevor Siemian. The 31-year-old has mainly been a gadget player in the Saints offense all year behind Jameis Winston and then Siemian, but now he'll see the majority of snaps under center against Dallas on Thursday night. Hill was decent last year in four starts filling in for the injured Drew Brees, completing 71.9% of his passes while totaling eight touchdowns (four rushing, four passing). He'll be a low-end QB1 streamer/high-end QB2 in his first start in 2021.
