Hill (concussion) exited Sunday's game against the 49ers and won't return.
EDGE Analysis
Hill joins an extensive list of Saints to suffer injuries in Sunday's contest, including quarterback Drew Brees (ribs). The backup tight end isn't much of a contributor in the passing game but plays an important role in the rushing attack with his blocking ability. He'll need to clear concussion protocol to play against Atlanta in Week 11.

Hill corralled both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The reception tally was a season high for Hill, who scored his first touchdown of the campaign in the blowout victory. Up 31-0, Hill hauled in a three-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to put the cherry on top of a dominant offensive performance. Unless New Orleans goes up big on San Francisco in Week 10, Hill is unlikely to return much fantasy value even in the deepest of leagues.

Hill hauled in his lone target for a one-yard gain Monday in the Saints' 30-27 overtime win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Hill has logged either one or two targets in the Saints' four games this season, and his role is unlikely to change as the season progresses. The veteran is valued for his prowess as a run blocker, which may be enough for him to consistently play ahead of Adam Trautman in two-tight end sets, or when starter Jared Cook substitutes out of games.

Hill dressed for practice Friday and got in limited work on the side, Amie Just of Nola.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was Hill's second day of this routine, and though he wasn't fully involved, it's a positive step after he missed the Saints' first two days of practice with an undisclosed "tweak." He's expected to serve his usual role as a blocker and occasional pass-catcher in 2020.

Coach Sean Payton said Hill "tweaked" something and was forced to miss practice Monday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but it appears serious enough to force him out of valuable practice time. The 30-year-old was a solid No. 2 option at tight end behind Jared Cook last season, racking up 25 catches for 226 yards and three scores. Expect the Saints to update Hill's status as needed as they prepare for the 2020 season.

Hill caught two of three targets for three yards in the Saints' 26-20 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill was the recipient of back-to-back catches on one drive in Sunday's loss, and he remained quiet the rest of the afternoon. As has been the case throughout his seven-year career, Hill was sparsely involved in the Saints' offense all year, though he was still able to amass 25 receptions for 226 yards -- both career high marks.

Hill caught his lone target for a five-yard touchdown in the Saints' 34-7 win over the Colts on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill was a part of history Monday, as he caught Drew Brees' record-setting 540th career touchdown pass. It was a wonderful moment for the veteran tight end, and he's now scored in two straight contests. Hill has accumulated just seven targets across his last four outings, and touchdowns can't be depended upon given such low volume.

Hill brought in two of three targets for four yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The score came on the first play of the second quarter from three yards out to put the Saints up 20-7. Hill was surprisingly quiet the rest of the afternoon despite Jared Cook heading to the locker room before halftime with a concussion. The former could have more opportunities in Week 15 if Cook doesn't clear the concussion protocol, though with just 19 receptions for 182 yards on the season, Hill will be tough to trust against Indianapolis.

Hill caught one of his two targets for a two-yard gain during Thursday's 26-18 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Hill has now been held to under 15 yards in four of his last six games. He had nice little run in the middle there, six total catches for 82 yard and a touchdown in Weeks 7 and 8, but he's mostly been quiet this season thanks to the quality play of Jared Cook. Hill and the Saints will have their hands full Sunday against the league's top pass defense, San Francisco.

Hill caught his lone target for 12 yards in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Hill took the field after suffering a concussion in Week 11 and saw a typical workload in Sunday's win. He's been a non-factor in the receiving game all season, but with Jared Cook's recent explosion over the Saints' last three games (14-206-2 receiving line), Hill could see his usage trend down even further.
