"Signs are pointing towards" Andy Dalton making his fourth consecutive start. Though Jameis Winston is off the injury report, he has not gone through a full practice since Week 1.

Both Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas have already been declared out which makes Dalton a very easy fade in fantasy this week, particularly when we know that Taysom Hill will have his own packages to work out of. Speaking of Hill, he is a must-start at TE unless you have one of the elite, top-three options.

Andy Dalton has joined Jameis Winston on the Saints' injury report.

According to the Saints' OurLads page, the team isn't currently carrying a quarterback on their practice squad, which would make Taysom Hill the team's only option for QB if Andy Dalton is forced to miss Thursday Night Football. With TE eligibility, he would be a no-brainer fantasy start.

Saints’ HC Dennis Allen said QB Andy Dalton will start Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Dalton may have a monumentous task ahead of him against his former team, as both Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry are still questionable for the game. He is currently ranked as 4for4's QB25.

Saints QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle) was limited at today’s practice, according to the injury report.

Perhaps the biggest question regarding a Winston return is the usage of Hill. But we reported Tuesday a Winston return could mean even more snaps for Hill, who also had to serve as the backup to Dalton with Winston out. Winston didn't practice last week so this could be a good sign.

Saints coach Dennis Allen maintained that they always had a plan [to have Taysom Hill involved at QB].

While Winston's injury seemed to be the catalyst for Hill taking quarterback snaps again at practice, keep in mind Hill was also injured and missed time before Winston got hurt. As the story pointed out, if Winston returns as a starter, it would make even more sense for Hill to have a bigger role because he would not be an immediate backup at quarterback and thus not as big of an injury concern. Hill has scored the last two weeks and makes for a sneaky TE play if your league allows it.

Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas were not at the open portion of Saints practice today.

Terrell later tweet that HC Dennis Allen said the only update on Winston is that he's still rehabbing and is getting better. "We're just trying to get him healthy." Dalton played fairly well in the team's loss to the Vikings in London. Unfortunately for owners, Hill stole a touchdown late in the game. With Winston out, Hill will likely continue to see some gadget plays lining up at QB. Hill rushed five times for 21 yards in the game.

Saints WR Michael Thomas is out, and QB Jameis Winston is doubtful for Sunday, per coach Dennis Allen. Andy Dalton is in line to start against the Vikings in London.

Dalton gets the start, but it's fair to wonder how much run Taysom Hill will also get. Dalton makes for a desperation start in 2QB leagues.

Jameis Winston isn't trending favorably to start their Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. While Andy Dalton would assuredly get the start in Winston's absence, one would think that Taysom Hill could see the field more often.

Dalton was "once again" taking his reps with the first team while Hill was with the second team. Michael Thomas was also missing from practice, so this could be a rough week for the Saints offense.

Dennis Allen anticipates Jameis Winston practicing tomorrow.

Good news for owners as reports say Winston wasn't spotted today at practice and the team was preparing Dalton and Hill. The Saints play in London on Sunday morning so this is a situation to continue to monitor if you need to play Winston.

Jameis Winston was not at practice today. Andy Dalton took first team reps at QB, with Taysom Hill receiving reps as a reserve QB. This is different than past weeks.

Winston is dealing with broken bones in his back and the offense has struggled over the first three weeks. Keep in mind the Saints will fly to London to take on the Vikings this week in what will be a Sunday morning game. As the tweet said, it looks like the Saints are preparing in case they have to make a change at quarterback. Hill is dealing with a rib injury, but if he's good to go, and with Dalton under center, he could see increased time at QB - while being listed as a TE in a lot of leagues.
