The New Orleans Saints will face the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE Taysom Hill.

Should You Start or Sit Taysom Hill in Week 7?
From PFN Analyst Kyle Soppe
Hill has missed consecutive games with fractured ribs, and his status remains cloudy. With Derek Carr out for at least one more game, there’s a path for New Orleans to weaponize their versatile “tight end” in a fantasy-friendly way.
The Saints failed to score in three of four quarters last week with Spencer Rattler under center, creating a void that Hill naturally could fill. I like the idea of adding him now in a wait-and-assess sort of way.
If we get news on Friday (or earlier) that he will be inactive, you simply move on. But if he’s able to take the field, we could be looking at a top-10 producer at the position that is free of charge in most leagues.
