NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Saints are expected to start Taysom Hill on Sunday after giving him starter reps in practice this week.

Saints’ QB Taysom Hill will start Sunday vs. the Falcons, per source. Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week. Jameis Winston will be the backup.

Jameis Winston took over for Drew Brees last week after he suffered cracked ribs and a lung issue after a big hit. That pretty much have everyone thinking Jameis would take over as the starter now that Brees is out at least for a few weeks. But knowing Sean Payton, expect him to mix in Jameis.

Hill has completed 4 of 5 pass attempts this season for 86 yards and earned 34 carries, for 186 rush yards, 1 TD. He also has six receptions for 74 yards and another score.

Looks like Jameis might not get a chance to eat a W as a starter.
