Happy Friday! We think. If Brees is feeling as close to 100% as he can considering the amount of injured ribs he was dealing with, then he could be in the QB1 picture against a susceptible Chiefs defense. There is plenty to be concerned about with a QB that needs to be able to have his torso functioning to complete passes downfield.

Stay tuned to 4for4 for more insight on the return of Brees to the Saints lineup.

Drew Brees initially said he’d be back in “no time” in mid-November. But now that Brees is eligible to come off injured reserve after sitting out three weeks, head coach Sean Payton didn’t sound like a man anticipating his quarterback would be on the field in the near future.

“I honestly wouldn’t be able to give you a time frame,” Payton said, via Katherine Terrell of TheAthletic.com. “He’s like a handful of the other guys that are down there working their tails off to get back healthy, 100 percent, and we’ll kind of see when that is.”

Brees has been out with five cracked ribs and a collapsed lung, but the Saints have continued to look like the NFC’s best team, the story said, as they improved to 10-2 and have clinched a playoff berth. The Saints have reconfigured their offense to best suit Hill with Brees on the mend.

Sean Payton won’t switch course from Taysom Hill after two wins in two starts. He still wants to see how Hill handles the job. And as stated earlier, the game plan shifted to ball control once Denver needed a practice squad wide receiver to play quarterback.

Payton said Hill played exactly how he wanted him too. Hill was only 9-for-16 for 78 yards through the air, but did have 10 carries, 44 yards and two touchdowns. And, Hill is 2-0 as the Saints starting quarterback. While Latavius Murray had a big day, the usual suspects like Thomas and Kamara had their fantasy production hurt by Hill, so those owning Saints may need to use some caution when figuring out lineups. But it also sounds like the Saints changed up their game plan knowing the struggles the Broncos would have at QB.

As the fantasy football regular season winds down, we at ESPN Fantasy would like to alert you to a key positional eligibility change that will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 24: Taysom Hill will have his tight end eligibility taken away and quarterback will become his primary position.

The story said beginning in Week 12, Hill will be eligible at QB only. The change was made for this week and not last week because Hill played the entire game at QB in Week 11 and is expected to continue in that role, at least primarily, until Drew Brees returns as the New Orleans Saints' starting quarterback, the story went on to say.

Saints QB Taysom Hill will start Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week. Jameis Winston will back up Hill.

Hill was also the player who received more money from the Saints this offseason. This is not official, but Schefter is giving us a huge piece of the Week 11 fantasy puzzle with this news.

Saints’ QB Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung on the right side.

Reports said HC Sean Payton is not announcing a starter for Sunday or Brees’ status at this time, but this is obviously worth monitoring as Brees is going to miss time. Winston took over for Brees, but Hill is also lurking as a possible candidate. Even if Winston starts, it's possible Hill gets more involved in the offense with Brees out. Hill is probably worth an add even if the Saints wait until later in the week to make the announcement, as Hill is considered a tight end by hosts like ESPN. Although, perhaps his position changes if he's named the starting QB.

Brees will have an MRI for cartilage damage Monday, the tweet added. Sources tell Rapoport that New Orleans is bracing for Brees to miss some time to fully heal. Winston took over for Brees in the second half and seems likely to get the start in Week 11. It's possible Hill gets even more involved in the offense going forward which could end up hindering any possible fantasy value Winston would have in the offense.

It sure feels like Sean Payton has begun finding the right mix for Taysom Hill the last couple of weeks.

There was a report a few weeks ago that maybe the Saints were ready to make the switch to Hill at QB because they team wasn't using him nearly the way they were last year - meaning maybe they were saving Hill. The story said Hill’s slow start this season pushed many people to call for an end to the Hill experiment, but over the last two weeks here are his numbers: Week 8 Hill had a 5-35-0 rushing line and a 2-30-1 receiving line. Last week, Hill had seven rushes for 54 yards and a catch for 21 yards - so 15 touches over the last two weeks. He's listed as a TE in many leagues so it's worth monitoring.
