Hayden Hurst vs Taysom Hill: The Full Breakdown
If you are choosing between Hayden Hurst and Taysom Hill for your lineup, you are not alone. Hayden Hurst finished the 2025 season at 3.7 PPG for the Los Angeles Chargers (14 games), and Taysom Hill averaged 5.5 for the New Orleans Saints (14 games).
That 1.8-point weekly advantage for Taysom Hill is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Hayden Hurst had 25 catches for 238 yards; Taysom Hill posted 18 for 195. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Hayden Hurst has his bye in Week 5, and Taysom Hill rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
