Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Spencer Rattler

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (knee) is working off to the side with a trainer in a jersey for the first time at training camp on Sunday, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. The Saints have not given a timetable for when Hill might return to practice with the rest of his teammates, but he has made positive progress in his rehab from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 13 of the 2024 season. The 34-year-old veteran Swiss Army knife landed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, and his availability for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season is up in the air. Hill's specific role in the Saints' offense might also be up in the air under new head coach Kellen Moore, leaving his fantasy value more cloudy than ever before. Will Hill be able to bounce back after his serious knee injury? Fantasy managers in most leagues should be avoiding him entirely this year.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed seven of his 11 passes for 53 yards and added three rushes for 22 yards and a lost fumble in a 27-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in preseason action on Sunday. Rattler, who has been battling with Tyler Shough and Jake Haener throughout training camp, got the start in the game and played into the second quarter. He had trouble moving the ball as he was unable to lead the Saints to any scoring drives in the contest. Shough, on the other hand, mostly played well and may have closed the gap between the two players as they both are vying to be under center when the regular season opens in Week 1. Rattler will look to bounce back in the Saints' next preseason game, which will come on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
