Josh Hill, New Orleans Saints

Owned in 0.1% of ESPN Leagues

Before Week 12, Josh Hill had quietly out-snapped presumed starter Coby Fleener 281 to 213 in the six games since returning from injury, but Hill clearly stood out last week. He out-snapped Fleener 58 to 18 and caught all six of his targets for 74 yards, both of which were career highs.

It seems a bit like point chasing to hope for another big game from Hill this week, but if ever there was a matchup for him to post a repeat performance, it would be this one. Hill and the New Orleans Saints take on a Detroit Lions secondary that ranks dead last in schedule-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per play this season. The Saints have averaged 35.8 points in home games this year, and this one should be a high-scoring affair, too.

To top it off, Detroit has defended tight ends worse than any team over the past two seasons. If looking for help at the tight end position in deeper leagues, you could do worse than taking a chance on Hill in this matchup.
