2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hill’s fighting an uphill battle to be ready for the start of the 2025 season after undergoing surgery in December to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. He’ll also be 35 years old by the time the season starts, and the Saints could be reluctant to keep the jack-of-all-trades on their books at an $18 million cap hit. It’s possible that Hill won’t play another down in the NFL given the circumstances, but if he recovers and reclaims a role similar to the one he played pre-injury, Hill could be a nice fantasy asset in formats that grant him tight end eligibility. He had 278 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns in eight games last season while adding 23 catches for 187 yards on 31 targets. Most of Hill’s production came as a rusher in a wildcat QB role, as he has averaged six rushing TDs over the past five seasons. He also has 11 receiving TDs and 11 passing TDs in his career.

Won't take part in OTAs
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Thursday that Hill (ACL) and Foster Moreau (knee) are both rehabbing and will miss OTAs and mandatory minicamp, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hill is recovering from a late-season left ACL tear suffered last December, making it no guarantee that he's ready for the start of training camp either. The 34-year-old carries a cap hit of nearly $18 million for 2025, including a non-guaranteed $10 million base salary, so he also still seems a likely candidate to have his contract restructured or become a cap casualty. With both Hill and Moreau sidelined, Juwan Johnson, who inked a three-year extension with New Orleans in March, will take first-team TE reps and get to build chemistry with both Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler during the offseason program. Jake Haener (oblique) also is part of this team's three-way quarterback competition, but he may miss the remainder of offseason activities due to a recent injury.

Hill's versatile skill set makes him an enticing fantasy asset, especially since he's eligible at the relatively thin tight end position in the majority of formats. He sees occasional playing time at tight end and on special teams, but most of Hill's fantasy production comes from under center as a wildcat quarterback. Hill has averaged 6.0 rushing touchdowns, as well as 451.8 rushing yards per year, over the last four seasons. He caught six TDs back in 2019, when Hill played predominantly wide receiver, but his career high in receiving yards actually came last season, when he had 291. Hill's days as a starting quarterback option appear to be behind him, but he does have 11 touchdown passes in his career and threw one last season. The Saints hired Klint Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator in February, but while the coaching change could lead to some changes in Hill's usage, Hill's athleticism should earn him a significant role once again in his age-34 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reunion with Payton in Denver?
If the Saints were to release Hill, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News believes the Broncos and head coach Sean Payton would be interested in the veteran tight end's services for 2025.
ANALYSIS
Hill ended the 2024 season on injured reserve after tearing the ACL in his left knee in Week 13. With an $18 million cap hit for the 2025 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Tuesday that it would be "hard to imagine" Hill returning to New Orleans next season. A reunion with Payton -- who was the Saints' head coach for 15 seasons -- in Denver could be in the books for Hill if he is let go by New Orleans and opts to return for another year. Hill would give the Broncos a utility man on offense to fit alongside Courtland Sutton and Bo Nix.
