Josh Hill (TE, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: For those of you who are in deeper leagues and are desperate for a tight end, I’m going to recommend an injury fill-in option for you. In Week 5, Jimmy Graham sprained his shoulder and it’s been reported that he will miss 2-3 weeks. With Graham being out, I’m looking to Josh Hill to step in as the receiving TE option for the Saints. According to the depth chart Benjamin Watson is listed as the backup TE, but Hill has scored more fantasy points the last four weeks than Watson has (13 points vs. 29.3 points in PPR scoring). The reason I’m recommending Hill over Watson is his size (6’5″ vs. 6’3″), which can be used as a matchup advantage for the Saints and Drew Breese in the red zone. However, if you want to stick with the depth charts and target totals after Graham went down (7 targets for Watson vs. 3 for Hill), then Watson could be another option to consider adding off the Week 7 waiver wire.
