Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Jake Ferguson

Monday, November 18, 2:29 AM

The Taysom Hill boom game we were all waiting for finally happened in Week 11. Hill had A career-high 138 rushing yards with three touchdowns on seven carries and led the Saints in receptions and targets, bringing in eight of his ten looks for 50 yards. He fulfilled the rest of his utility role with an 18-yard completion and a 42-yard kickoff return. His work in New Orleans' 35-14 win over the Browns equated to a whopping 42.52 PPR points. Hill threw an interception on his only other pass attempt in the game and lost a fumble but the turnovers did not deter the Saints from turning away from their jack of all trades. Since his Week 8 return from a multi-week absence due to injury, Hill is averaging 8.3 touches per game and has four touchdowns thanks to his performance against Cleveland. New Orleans is on bye in Week 12 but Hill will continue to be a factor thereafter.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Ferguson suffered a concussion early in the Monday night loss to the Houston Texans and was ruled out quickly. Head coach Mike McCarthy said on Tuesday that Ferguson is fighting an uphill battle to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers should be putting the 25-year-old on their benches this week while hoping he'll be able to return to play in the annual Thanksgiving game against the division-rival New York Giants. Backup Luke Schoonmaker stepped in for six catches on 10 targets for 56 yards against Houston, and he could be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy if you're desperate at the position in Week 12.
