Hill logged a full follow on Thursday, whereas fellow tight finish Juwan Johnson remained restricted with a shoulder harm. It might sound far-fetched, however given the circumstances, the Saints’ multi-purpose participant might truly catch, throw and run for a landing in Week 8.

WR: Ricky Pearsall (San Francisco 49ers)
Right here’s what we said about Pearsall following the 2024 NFL Draft:
“With gifted pass-catchers like (Brandon) Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle on the roster, Pearsall might battle to see snaps within the NFL’s fourth-ranked passing offense. Aiyuk and Samuel completed 14th and fifteenth in fantasy factors final season whereas Kittle completed fifth amongst tight ends.”
Pearsall missed San Francisco’s first six video games after being shot within the chest throughout an armed theft try simply previous to Labor Day. He returned to face the Chiefs final week, catching three of 5 targets for 21 yards whereas enjoying 76% of the group’s offensive performs.
A lot for struggling to see snaps. To be honest, Deebo Samuel performed 4 snaps earlier than leaving the sport with an sickness, Brandon Aiyuk left the sport after struggling a knee harm and main receiver Jauan Jennings missed the sport altogether with a hip harm.
Samuel needed to be handled for pneumonia however was a restricted participant in Thursday’s follow, whereas Jennings remained sidelined. Aiyuk’s harm ended his season. Not often are first-round vast receivers accessible this late within the season, particularly on high-scoring groups with holes to fill. Decide up Pearsall earlier than any individual else does.

WR: Cedric Tillman (Cleveland Browns)
Now that vast receiver Amari Cooper is with the Payments, any individual has to choose up the slack for the Browns. Former Bronco Jerry Jeudy at present leads Cleveland with 266 yards, adopted by tight finish David Njoku, who has 165.
Modest numbers to make certain and nothing that might forestall a participant like Tillman, the group’s third-round choose in final yr’s draft, from seeing extra targets. Tillman set career-marks towards the Bengals with eight catches on 12 targets for 81 yards in Cooper’s absence final week and needs to be catching passes from Jameis Winston towards the Ravens on Sunday.
With beginning quarterback Deshaun Watson finished for the yr with a torn Achilles and backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson coping with a finger harm, Winston has already been named the starter for this week’s recreation towards the Ravens.
No group positive aspects extra yards (461.4) or factors (31.1) per recreation than Baltimore, which might power Cleveland to throw the ball to maintain up. That ought to imply loads of targets for Tillman towards a Ravens protection permitting 287.1 yards passing per recreation, the worst mark of any NFL group.
