Taysom Hill is expected to start for the Saints in Week 11 against the Falcons with Drew Brees (ribs) out, which is somewhat of a surprise. We were all expecting Jameis Winston would start, but Sean Payton is going with Hill. And this could be fun, or frustrating, depending on several factors.
Let's start with his value as a Fantasy quarterback, which is all he is on CBS Sports. I would only start him in two-quarterback and Superflex leagues unless you're desperate, and I would expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 Fantasy points if things go well. We know he'll run, which is great, and hopefully he can connect with his receivers for enough success to boost his production.
But I'm not sold on Winston just sitting on the bench despite the ESPN report that he will not be part of any offensive packages. I still think Winston plays at some point in the game, especially if the Saints are trailing, which could limit Hill's upside.

However, if we take that report as gospel, Hill could be better than expected as a Fantasy asset. Payton loves Hill and will be creative with his playcalling, and Hill gets the benefit of throwing to elite weapons in Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, as well as Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook.
Let's keep in mind that Atlanta has allowed five of its past six opposing quarterbacks to pass for at least 313 yards, with four of them scoring multiple touchdowns. The Falcons also have allowed four rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks this year.
Now, for those of you who can use Hill as a tight end on other sites, he could be amazing with that eligibility. If he has the chance for anything above 15 Fantasy points, he's going to potentially be the No. 1 tight end in all leagues. The only tight end I would rank ahead of Hill is Travis Kelce, but Hill could easily be better given how much potential he has as the starting quarterback for the Saints.
You can also use Hill as a tight end on FanDuel, and he'll be popular at $4,500 but likely worth it. He's clearly a sleeper in all seasonal and daily leagues, and Payton will do everything he can to make Hill successful. For those of you who start him -- at quarterback or tight end -- hopefully he delivers a big game against the Falcons this week.
As for Kamara, I wouldn't worry about his Fantasy value. He's still a top-three running back in all leagues against the Falcons.
Thomas gets downgraded to a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver, but hopefully Hill targets Thomas early and often to help him finally have a quality outing in 2020, which has been marred by injuries and a lack of production. I was more hopeful for Thomas if Winston had played.
Cook is more of a borderline starter at tight end, and Sanders is only worth using in three-receiver leagues. We'll see how they do with Hill, but it's hard to trust them given their recent struggles, even with Brees under center.
Now, let's look at some other sleeper options for Week 11, as well as DFS options to use on DraftKings and FanDuel this week.

Week 11 Sleepers

DFS LINEUPS
DraftKings
-
QB: Deshaun Watson (vs. NE) $6,500
RB: Mike Davis (vs. DET) $6,800
RB: Kalen Ballage (vs. NYJ) $5,600
WR: Jamison Crowder (at LAC) $6,100
WR: Brandin Cooks (vs. NE) $5,200
WR: Jakobi Meyers (at HOU) $4,900
TE: Hayden Hurst (at NO) $4,400
FLEX: Nick Chubb (vs. PHI) $7,000
DST: Dolphins (at DEN) $3,400I'll stack Watson and Cooks here, and both should be better than they were in Week 10 after playing in bad wind in Cleveland. I'll also play Meyers in that same game, and hopefully the Texans and Patriots put up plenty of points -- or at least those three guys.
Davis is the Start of the Week, and he has a tremendous matchup against the Lions, who allow the most Fantasy points to opposing running backs. And Ballage has a great opportunity against the Jets, and it helps that he's actually been great for the past two games. Chubb is an easy choice at flex given what he should do against the Eagles, and hopefully he doesn't step out of bounds this time when he has an easy touchdown, although that was the smart move for his team.
I'll play Crowder at the other receiver spot, and he should be a target hog against the Chargers. And Hurst should be a popular target for Matt Ryan in a potential shootout with the Saints.
FanDuel
-
QB: Justin Herbert (vs. NYJ) $8,500
RB: Mike Davis (vs. DET) $7,400
RB: Giovani Bernard (at WAS) $6,300
WR: Keenan Allen (vs. NYJ) $8,000
WR: Terry McLaurin (vs. CIN) $7,300
WR: Chase Claypool (at JAC) $6,400
TE: Taysom Hill (vs. NO) $4,500
FLEX: Kareem Hunt (vs. PHI) $6,700
DST: Chargers (vs. NYJ) $4,500I'll play Davis here again, and I also like Bernard with his matchup against Washington. Hunt also is a great flex option against the Eagles.
I'll stack Herbert here with Allen, and the Jets secondary is a mess. It should be a good game for all the Chargers skill players, but also the defense should play well against Joe Flacco at home.
My other receivers are McLaurin and Claypool, and both have the chance for big games in Week 11. And hopefully Hill delivers at tight end. He'll be popular, but I expect him to be successful since you're getting a starting quarterback in a tight end spot here.
