Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Gardner Minshew

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.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) got good news from an MRI on his injured knee, as his ACL was not torn as initially feared. He's still out for the rest of the season on IR, but his recovery will be quicker since it's a "non-displaced tibial plateau fracture," which is basically a severe bone bruise but does not require surgery. The seventh-year QB was on a one-year deal with the Chiefs, but only played two games this season. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and the fact that he won't have to recover from a torn ACL will make him one of the better backup options on the market. He could return to Kansas City or land with a new team, but wherever he ends up, the fact that he doesn't have a torn ACL should improve his chances of being ready for offseason activities and the start of next season.
