Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Aidan O'Connell

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.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell had an up-and-down preseason debut Thursday against the Seahawks, completing 18 of 30 passes for 205 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He found second-year running back Dylan Laube for a six-yard score in the third quarter but otherwise led the offense to just two field goals. O'Connell is competing to retain the backup role behind Geno Smith, but his inconsistency leaves the door open. Sixth-round rookie Cam Miller, drafted out of North Dakota State, is pushing for the job and could close the gap with a strong showing in upcoming games.
