Saints' Taysom Hill (foot) taking first-team practice reps ahead of Week 13

The New Orleans Saints appear to be making a change at the quarterback position, Ian Rapoport reports, with Taysom Hill (foot) taking the first-team reps in the team's practices ahead of their Week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

What It Means:

The Saints have rolled out with Trevor Siemian under center for the past four games, but appear to be preparing to switch to a Taysom Hill-led offense for Week 13 with Hill taking the first-team reps in practice. The Saints signed Hill to a large extension last week, but held him on the sidelines for Week 12 while the versatile player recovered from a foot injury.

Hill offers upside as a rushing threat that Siemian failed to display in his 4 starts, rushing 5 times for 19 yards in that span. While Hill's deep passing ability will certainly be an issue, he also managed to lead the team to a winning record when Drew Brees missed time in 2020. Hill offers upside as a back-end QB1 in fantasy for Week 13 if he is declared the starter, as he has averaged 52.3 rushing yards per game as the starter in 2020.
