Running With That Hill

The Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints will play the first London game of the NFL's 2022 season later today.

I'll watch it. As I always do. 

One player I am keen to look out for today is the Saints' Taysom Hill.

Hill, who is a versatile player, is listed as a Tight End on the Saints' roster in 2022. However, his previous role as Quarterback might come into play today due to the team's number one - Jameis Winston - being out with an injury.

Winston's backup - Andy Dalton - will take to Tottenham Hotspur's field as the starting QB, but this situation has obviously moved Hill up to number two.

I suspect there will be plays made by Hill simply because he has been practising with the quarterbacks this week.

I picked up Hill in my fantasy league a few weeks ago suspecting there could be a day when injuries - or benchings  - could move him up the quarterback depth chart. I didn't expect it to be this soon, though.

Sure, this is a gamble on my part. I'd rather bite the bullet and lose than not try it at all.
