Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Taysom Hill

Tuesday, October 7, 6:23 PM

Through the first four weeks of the season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the QB16 in fantasy with eight passing touchdowns and three interceptions while leading his new team to a 3-1 record. Although his most prolific outing came in the season opener, Rodgers finished as a top-24 fantasy option in each of his games. He'll now return from a Week 5 bye to face the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Despite their 1-4 record, Cleveland has been stout defensively, limiting opposing quarterbacks to 15 fantasy points per contest. Rodgers can be added and started in favorable matchups, but he's not an ideal streaming candidate this week. The 41-year-old checks in as QB27 in RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings.

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill has "been taking reps" at quarterback and is "definitely available to be a backup quarterback" to Saints starter Spencer Rattler. Hill famously played quarterback in college and started nine games under center for New Orleans across the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The 35-year-old completed a 19-yard pass in Week 5, his first game of 2025 after being activated off the physically unable to perform list. Hill is officially third on the Saints quarterback depth chart behind Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. Most likely, Hill will see most of his touches as a rusher and receiver in a gadget role. Still, any significant playing time at quarterback would make Hill a must-start player in fantasy, as he would likely still be eligible at the tight end position in most league formats.
