Two more rushing touchdowns Hill completed two of three passes for nine yards and one interception while rushing six times for 28 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants. He...
Impact Even though Jameis Winston continues to serve as the primary quarterback, Hill is seeing increasingly more playing time as part of the Saints' red-zone package while now also getting reps as a receiver. After logging four scoreless carries over the first two weeks of the season, Hill has 12 carries for 60 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns over the past two games. However, despite the recent production, Hill is still far away from seeing enough touches to warrant fantasy consideration as a quarterback, and that probably won't change unless Winston implodes or gets sidelined.

Rushes for touchdown Hill rushed six times for 32 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 28-13 win over New England.
Impact Logging 53 percent of the snaps on offense, Hill was used effectively in the run game but didn't attempt a pass with Jameis Winston still working as the primary QB 95 percent of the time. Unless Winston loses his grip as the starting signal-caller, Hill won't see nearly enough touches to warrant fantasy consideration.

Totals 16 rushing yards Hill rushed twice for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-7 loss to Carolina.
Impact Jameis Winston and the Saints offense came crashing back to Earth after an explosive Week 1 blowout of Green Bay. However, Hill seemed to provide a small spark when given a couple of chances. It will be interesting to see if he becomes more involved going forward should Winston's struggles persist.

Saints' Winston showing why he won over Payton, teammates
Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is trying not to get ahead of himself after what looked like an auspicious beginning to a new chapter in his NFL careerSEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Handling small offensive role Hill completed his only pass for three yards while rushing twice for one yard during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Packers.
Impact Jameis Winston handled the vast majority of playing time while Hill mixed in sporadically, converting two third downs before getting stuffed at the goal line on a designed run. While he was largely effective within his gadget role in reality, Hill didn't see nearly enough playing time to even warrant consideration in two-quarterback fantasy leagues. Given the success of Winston in the season opener, it seems unlikely that will change anytime soon.

Impact One of rookie fourth-round pick Ian Book and Trevor Siemian will instead handle backup duties week-to-week behind Jameis Winston, allowing Payton to utilize Hill freely in the versatile role. Hill is still clearly New Orleans' No. 2 quarterback and will take over starting duties the following week should Winston suffer an injury, but he won't be the in-game replacement in that situation.
