Who Should I Start? AJ McCarron or Taysom Hill

Wednesday, February 14, 2:08 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Wednesday that they released quarterback AJ McCarron. The Bengals signed McCarron back in November for more quarterback depth after starter Joe Burrow (wrist) was lost for the season. The 33-year-old veteran signal-caller appeared in two contests for Cincinnati in relief of Jake Browning down the stretch and went 4-for-5 for 19 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. He'll be searching for a new team to play for this offseason. The former fifth-round selection of the Bengals in 2014 out of Alabama has a 63.1 career completion percentage with 1,192 passing yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in his seven years in the NFL with Cincy, the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has seen his role in the offense expanded over the last few games. Last week, Hill saw a season-high 10 rushing attempts in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Sadly, Hill didn't have much success as he finished with 17 yards for a lousy 1.7 yards per carry. The expectation is that Hill is going to see a larger role again in Week 13 with Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) ruled out. Devin Neal will take over as the lead back, but Hill should see chances as well. It wouldn't be shocking to see Hill having double digit carries again, but his lack of success this season is a concern. Fantasy managers shouldn't trust him as anything more than a touchdown-dependent option for the upcoming matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
