Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Dallas Goedert

Monday, September 16, 1:15 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end/fullback Taysom Hill (chest) returned home to New Orleans on Sunday night on the team's charter after being transported from the stadium to the hospital due to a chest injury he suffered in the Week 2 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys. Hill is scheduled for more tests on Monday, but at the moment, the Saints don't think his injury is overly serious. We'll have a better idea of the 34-year-old's status for a Week 3 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles once the Saints start practicing later this week. But if Hill is limited or out this weekend, expect to see more pass-catching opportunities for Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau at tight end and more backfield work for running back Jamaal Williams behind Alvin Kamara. In two games in 2024, Hill has eight carries for 53 yards and has caught just two of three targets for two yards through the air.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught three of four targets for 38 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran was expected to see a larger target share with star receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) out this week, but depth receiver Britain Covey saw six targets, and backup Grant Calcaterra got involved with a couple of targets of his own. Atlanta's defense is no slouch, but this was an underwhelming fantasy performance for Goedert given the Brown injury. He will look to get more involved next week against a red-hot New Orleans Saints team.
