Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or C.J. Stroud

Saturday, December 27, 1:47 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill put together one of the more impressive stat lines of the season in the Week 16 win over the Jets, rushing 12 times for 42 yards, catching four of six targets for 36 yards, and throwing a 38-yard touchdown on his lone pass attempt. The performance cemented Hill's place in history, as he became the first player in the Super Bowl era to reach 1,000 career yards passing, rushing, and receiving. With Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) and Devin Neal (hamstring) sidelined, Hill operated as the Saints' primary rushing threat, while Audric Estime and Evan Hull each received only five carries. With Kamara set to miss another week and Neal on IR, Hill should once again be heavily involved against the Titans in Week 17. His do-it-all role makes him a TE1 for the contest.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is in a tough matchup on Saturday afternoon against the Chargers, but he has shown enough momentum to still be a strong option in two-QB formats or in deep leagues this week. Stroud only threw for 187 yards and a touchdown last week in a narrow win over the Raiders, but he looked much better with 260 yards and three touchdowns the previous week against the Cardinals. Stroud has led his team to four straight wins since returning from a concussion, and the Texans have won seven straight overall to put themselves in a prime position to make the playoffs. While defense and a conservative offensive strategy have been the main reasons for their success, Stroud has shown enough play-making upside to still be the No. 17 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a solid QB2.
