Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. With RB Devin Neal on IR, New Orleans is again down to Audric Estime and Evan Hull as their top two RBs. But it was Taysom Hill who led the team with 12 carries last week, adding six targets and a passing score. Hill makes for an intriguing – albeit risky – Week 17 fantasy play.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. He’s not expected to be placed on IR, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, so we should see Kamara back within the next few weeks. His absence this weekend leaves rookie Devin Neal as New Orleans’ likely lead back, although TE Taysom Hill and potentially RB Audric Estime will also be involved. Consider Neal just a RB3 or Flex play.

Alvin Kamara sprained his right MCL early in the Saints' Week 12 loss to Atlanta. After Kamar departed the game, Devin Neal played 57 of the team's final 66 snaps and was the only RB to receive a carry or target. Neal didn't find a lot of running room, rushing for just 18 yards on his 7 attempts, but he did catch 5-of-7 targets for 43 yards.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, according to New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill. The severity of the sprain will determine how long Kamara will be sidelined. "He could take a little time, but nothing that's super serious or threatening long term," Underhill writes. "Hard to know how long. Alvin and his team often beat timelines." We should learn more about Kamara's injury over the next day or two, but consider him more likely than not to miss Week 13's game against the Dolphins. Devin Neal will take over as the Saints' lead back if Kamara misses time. He's far from an exciting fantasy option but could provide RB3-level production. We also saw Taysom Hill tally eight carries in the second half of the Falcons game.

If you hoped the season-ending injury for RB Kendre Miller would rebound Alvin Kamara's touch counts ... then you've been wildly disappointed in the weeks since. Kamara logged his second straight six carries in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Rams. It was New Orleans' third consecutive loss by double digits and the second straight by 20+ points. That would seem like good conditions for Kamara's target volume, at least. But the veteran has seen three targets or fewer in three straight games and totaled 6 catches for 28 yards over that span.

Saints TEs Juwan Johnson (ankle), Taysom Hill (knee), and Foster Moreau (knee) are active for today’s game against the Giants. Hill and Moreau are making their 2025 debuts and shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups. But we’ll be keeping a close eye on Hill’s role in HC Kellen Moore’s offense. Johnson got in two limited practices this week and was listed as questionable. The ankle issue – coupled with Hill and Moreau’s returns – makes Johnson a riskier fantasy play than he was the last few weeks.

Saints TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) are expected to play vs. the Giants on Sunday, according to The Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan. Both guys were activated from the PUP list earlier this week and will be making their 2025 debuts.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re expecting him to play. TEs Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) are also listed as questionable after being activated from the PUP list earlier this week. Neither is a fantasy option right now, but they could add some downside risk to Johnson’s profile.

Saints TE Taysom Hill practiced on Wednesday for the first time this season. He's exactly 10 months removed from tearing the ACL and suffering other damage to his left knee. Hill is likely still at least a couple of weeks away from being cleared for game action, and it's unclear how he fits in new HC Kellen Moore's offense. We wouldn't bother adding Hill to fantasy rosters right now, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

According to Saints beat writer Larry Holder, “it’s fair to wonder if we’ve seen the last of [Taysom] Hill with the Saints.” The nearly 35-year-old is rehabbing an ACL tear from Week 13 of last season.

According to multiple reports, the Saints are now set to officially hire Kellen Moore as their next HC. The move has been expected since before the Super Bowl. At 36, Moore will become the league's youngest HC, edging Seattle's Mike Macdonald (37 until late June). Moore, of course, spent 2024 as Eagles OC after one season as Chargers OC and four as Cowboys OC.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson caught a third-quarter TD from Derek Carr, the only receiving TD in the Saints/Giants game. With TE Taysom Hill likely sidelined for some time, Johnson has taken over the receiving work, especially in the red zone. He caught four of five targets for 50 yards and the lone TD.

Saints TE Taysom Hill suffered a torn ACL and "additional damage" to his left knee in the Week 13 loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That ends Hill's 2024 season and might challenge his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. Hill will turn 35 in August. He's signed with the Saints through 2025.

Saints TE Taysom Hill was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams with an apparent left knee injury. He had five catches and five carries for 47 total yards before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Saints utilityman Taysom Hill delivered numbers all around in Sunday's win over the Browns. But he did his greatest damage on the ground, and in the second half of the game. Hill carried five times for 129 yards and 2 TDs after the break, following a first half that saw him post a 2-9-1 rushing line and 7 receptions for 36 yards. For the game, Hill racked up 138 yards and 3 TDs on the ground, 8 receptions for 50 yards, and 1 completion for 18 yards with an INT passing.

Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. Jordan Mims will continue to serve as the No. 2 RB, with Taysom Hill also mixing in for rushing work behind Alvin Kamara.

Saints TE Taysom Hill managed just 50 total yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He carried four times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 36 more. Hill accrued 34 of those yards of one short completion, which actually went for an 88-yard TD. But it came back to the Saints' 36-yard line on a Foster Moreau holding penalty.
