Noah Fant vs Taysom Hill: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Noah Fant and Taysom Hill is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Noah Fant averaged 4.4 PPG with the Cincinnati Bengals across 13 games, and Taysom Hill posted 5.5 with the New Orleans Saints in 14.
When two tight ends are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Noah Fant is the volume tight end in this matchup with 34 receptions for 288 yards, while Taysom Hill profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (2 scores on 18 catches). In weeks where Taysom Hill finds the end zone he out-scores Noah Fant, but the floor gap is real.
Noah Fant has his bye in Week 6, 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.
