Who Should I Start? Jimmy Graham or Taysom Hill

Tuesday, August 29, 11:58 PM

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham made the team's final 53-man roster heading into the 2023 regular season. The five-time Pro Bowl looked washed up in his last NFL season in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he had a career-low 14 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets in 15 games (six starts). The 36-year-old was a long shot to make an NFL comeback with his former team, especially after he had a medical episode on Aug. 19. Against all odds, though, Graham has impressed the coaching staff in recent weeks and caught three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the preseason finale last weekend. It's a cool story for Graham with the team he began his career with, but he'll have zero fantasy appeal while buried on the TE depth chart behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) and quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) both practiced in full the last two days and won't carry injury designations into the Week 3 contest on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is out and Alvin Kamara won't return from his suspension until next week, so Miller, a third-rounder, will make his NFL debut this weekend after missing the first two games of the year with a hamstring injury of his own. The 21-year-old should have a role against Green Bay, but with Tony Jones Jr. and Hill also being involved, it's hard to recommend Miller as anything more than a desperation RB3/flex in his debut. Miller's role should only increase as the year progresses, but he'll also have to deal with the return of Kamara.
