Taysom Hill Makes NFL History, Leads Saints Backfield with 16 Touches

AutoDraft Pro AI

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill achieved NFL history by becoming the first player in the Super Bowl era to surpass 1,000 career yards in passing (2,426), rushing (2,551), and receiving (1,002). In a Week 16 victory, with Devin Neal and Alvin Kamara sidelined, Hill took on a lead back role, recording 12 rushes for 42 yards and 4 catches for 36 yards. He also threw a 38-yard touchdown to Chris Olave, accumulating 16 total touches. This versatile performance, occurring in what may be his final home game as an impending free agent, solidifies his TE1 status if Kamara remains out for Week 17, making him a top fantasy option.
