Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Sam LaPorta

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) and quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) both practiced in full the last two days and won't carry injury designations into the Week 3 contest on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is out and Alvin Kamara won't return from his suspension until next week, so Miller, a third-rounder, will make his NFL debut this weekend after missing the first two games of the year with a hamstring injury of his own. The 21-year-old should have a role against Green Bay, but with Tony Jones Jr. and Hill also being involved, it's hard to recommend Miller as anything more than a desperation RB3/flex in his debut. Miller's role should only increase as the year progresses, but he'll also have to deal with the return of Kamara.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 56 yards in the Thursday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't a massive boom performance for the rookie tight end, but it should keep fantasy managers in PPR leagues afloat ahead of the full Week 4 slate. LaPorta has seen at least five targets in all of his contests, which is more than can be said about a large chunk of the available tight ends on the waiver wire. He is a must-start in all matchups after being the fantasy TE2 through the first three weeks of the season.
