New Orleans Saints: 3 Players that must shine vs. 49ers in Week 14
3. Taysom Hill
When the Saints signed Taysom Hill, they probably didn’t anticipate how much of an impact he would have. If last week is any indication though, then the Saints got a major deal when they signed Hill. In meeting with the 49ers, Hill is going to be a great asset during the course of the game.

As previously mentioned, last week was a huge game for Hill. The Saints have been using him sparingly this season but they really utilized him against the Falcons. He finished the game with one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown, in addition to his typically fantastic showing on special teams.
It was a stellar game for the jack-of-all-trades and is part of the reason why the Saints don’t utilize him much. With Hill, they have the element of surprise and it really showed against the Falcons.
Against the 49ers, the Saints have a ton of options for what they can do with Hill. They can line him up at quarterback, make him a rusher, a receiver or simply keep using him on special teams. The 49ers are a dominant team but not unbeatable, as proven by the Ravens and Seahawks.
Either way, using Taysom Hill during the game is a must as the Saints can basically do anything with him and they need to keep the 49ers on their toes.
