Who Should I Start? Cooper Rush or Taysom Hill

Wednesday, June 25, 12:10 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Cooper Rush struggled during offseason workouts and put the ball in harm's way far too often as he learns a new offense, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Rush was thrust into a starter's role during OTAs with Lamar Jackson missing all but one of the team's nine practice sessions, which shortened his learning curve. The former Dallas Cowboy signal-caller will be Baltimore's No. 2 QB with second-year quarterback Devin Leary competing for a spot on the practice squad. If Jackson misses time due to injury during the 2025 regular season, the Ravens will surely be hoping that Rush has cleaned up some of the mistakes that he's showing early on as he learns the offense. The 31-year-old started nine games for Dallas in 2024 with Dak Prescott injured and threw for 12 TDs and four interceptions. He has the experience but lacks the mobility that Jackson has in spades.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (knee) is working off to the side with a trainer in a jersey for the first time at training camp on Sunday, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. The Saints have not given a timetable for when Hill might return to practice with the rest of his teammates, but he has made positive progress in his rehab from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 13 of the 2024 season. The 34-year-old veteran Swiss Army knife landed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, and his availability for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season is up in the air. Hill's specific role in the Saints' offense might also be up in the air under new head coach Kellen Moore, leaving his fantasy value more cloudy than ever before. Will Hill be able to bounce back after his serious knee injury? Fantasy managers in most leagues should be avoiding him entirely this year.
