Yes, it's National Tight End Day.

So I want to talk about everyone's favorite fake tight end, Taysom Hill. The last time we saw him he scored two touchdowns against Atlanta.

He is suitable for tight end and definitely doesn't play that position in the traditional sense.

Um, but he's an offensive weapon on a team that's running out of players like that.

Uh, considering the Saints' current situation at receiver and quarterback, it's not hard to imagine Hill in for a touchdown-heavy season, one of those games where he throws a little, catches a little, takes care.

He's at the goal line, he's facing the Chargers this week, and with Tayson Hill, he's, you know, the weird kind of tight end where we actually have to pay attention to the quality of the opposing run defense.

Um, and he faces a run defense that's giving up 4.6 yards per carry.

Uh, and that's largely again what we focus on with Taysom almost every week that Hill is healthy.

He will be a top 10 fantasy tight end for me.

It's a cheap code.

Yes.

But you guys have been begging for his tight end approval all summer.

You got it.

Um, I'm starting him in multiple leagues this week.

Tight end has been an absolute minefield all year and Hill is at least a high-upside answer.
