| ESPN's Mike Triplett reports that third-year pro Josh Hill will play a much bigger role after catching 14 passes for 176 yards and five touchdowns last year. But it won't be the "Jimmy Graham role," which didn't really exist before Graham emerged in New Orleans. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: We figured that Hill would play a more prominent role, but it appears Sean Payton is doing what he can to throw water on the idea that he'll fill Graham's shoes in the offense. Hill caught 14 or 20 targets and five TDs last season -- a respectable total, and the 6-5, 250-pound beast is still slated to be the primary red zone TE. Ben Watson and Orson Charles are also projected to make the 53-man roster and see targets, but Hill remains the best fantasy option moving forward.
