Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Sam LaPorta

Tuesday, October 28, 7:27 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has been unable to find much success since returning in Week 5. Hill missed the beginning of the season while recovering from an ACL injury dating back to last season. The assumption was that Hill would be eased back into action, but he has barely seen the field over the last four games. Last week, Hill hauled in his lone target for six yards and rushed for six yards on two carries in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It doesn't appear that the Saints plan on getting Hill heavily involved in their offense. He has seen the field for less than 20 percent of the offensive snaps in three of his first four games. The 35-year-old is avoidable for the upcoming Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught six of his eight targets for 97 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. His best play of the game was a 40-yard touchdown in which he withstood a bombardment of Vikings tackles and plowed his way across the goal line. The 24-year-old now has three touchdowns over his last four games and ranks as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues with 35 catches, 436 yards, and three scores in 2025. He should continue to be viewed as a top-10 fantasy tight end heading into Week 10 against the Washington Commanders.
