Line rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught six of ten targets for 36 yards during the 2019 season.
Analysis: The SMU product saw a smattering of touches across the season, operating primarily as a blocking fullback for New Orleans. He failed to record a touchdown for the first time in three years with New Orleans, though his receptions and receiving yards were the most since he joined the team in 2017. Line will be an unrestricted free agent heading into his eight season, and it's unknown if he'll re-sign with the Saints.

Line (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's playoff game against Minnesota, Chris Corso of the Vikings' official site reports.
Analysis: The 29-year-old missed Week 17 with the knee injury and was unable to practice this week, so he won't be available for the playoff opener. The Saints will be without a true fullback Sunday, though Josh Hill could work as a backfield blocker in Line's place.

Line (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Line (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Nov 15, 2019 1:42 PM EST
Line (knee) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Line played just nine snaps in Week 10 and has logged two limited practices so far this week. If he stays limited or is upgraded to full on Friday, he has a good shot to suit up against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Nov 14, 2019 2:26 PM EST
Line gained four yards on one carry and caught one pass for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's win against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The Saints' starting fullback caught his second touchdown of the season but given that he has only nine total touches all year, Line can safely be ignored in most fantasy formats.
