Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Trey McBride

Friday, December 6, 5:10 PM

The New Orleans Saints officially placed tight end Taysom Hill (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday. In addition to suffering an ACL tear in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Hill also suffered additional damage to his left knee and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season. It's a tough blow for the 34-year-old and the Saints offense after Hill had 188 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns just two weeks ago. He did it all for the Saints on offense and special teams and will be sorely missed the rest of the way, which should lead to even more volume for running back Alvin Kamara. Hill's fantasy value was peaking just before his injury. He should have already been dropped in redraft leagues, and Hill's availability for the start of the 2025 season could be in jeopardy. Tight end Juwan Johnson becomes stream-worthy in Week 14 against the Giants with six teams on bye.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride put an exclamation point on his Pro Bowl season, scoring a receiving touchdown in his second straight game during the win over the San Francisco 49ers. McBride's official stat line was seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. McBride is the clear leader of the Cardinals' passing game and had arguably the best season by a tight end in franchise history. He was one of the best positional advantages for fantasy managers all season and will be an early target in fantasy drafts next year.
