NFL DFS Week 13 Optimal Lineup: Fly, Eagles stack fly! on Elcajon News only

We really need to discuss Taysom Hill with the Saints off their bye and Hill back on the main slate.

The last time he took the field, the Mormon Missile ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns, added 50 yards on eight receptions, threw for 18 yards and had 42 kick return yards for good measure. Hill also threw an interception and lost a fumble because he ran out of positive things to do, I suppose.

It was the most impressive single-game effort on a football field since Polk High’s Al Bundy scored four TDs in the 1966 city championship against Andrew Johnson High School.

Of course, Bundy is a fictional character from the Fox sitcom “Married … with Children,” but that seemed like a more apt comparison, because Hill’s performance was so surreal, he might as well have been a character from The Simpsons than an actual NFL player.

We’d probably have to go back all the way to the era of Jim Thorpe to find the last time human beings played football like Hill. Of course Thorpe excelled at every sport under the sun, while also taking on odd jobs to make ends meet, which somehow feels less real to me than a sitcom.

Hill was a contrarian play in Week 11, rostered by only 3.8% of the field, but this week he’ll likely end up in north of 30% of the lineups.

With all of its injuries on offense, getting Hill involved has become a necessity for New Orleans, not a luxury, and interim head coach Darren Rizzi has absolutely nothing to lose, so this type of usage could stick. Especially this week against a Rams team that just got bulldozed by Saquon Barkley.

However, the clearest path to taking down a large-field tournament like the Milly Maker is to not swallow the chalk and find leverage (with high ceilings) against the field.

The Lineup has one player currently projected to be rostered above 10% this week.
