Dynasty | The Saints will start Tyler Shough at quarterback against the Rams this week. Dynasty Analysis: This comes as little surprise with the Saints sitting at 1-7 and Shough having replaced an ineffective Spencer Rattler midway through last week's blowout loss to the Bucs. This will be no easy task against the Rams but Shough could provide a higher ceiling than Rattler. The danger is clearly the fact his floor could be lower but again, at 1-7, it's worth a shot. It's likely the Saints use the rest of the season to evaluate Shough and determine if they should spend what looks to be a top-5 pick on a quarterback in next year's NFL Draft. Shough is worth a roster spot but the fact he couldn't beat out Rattler this Summer could be telling.

Dynasty | The Saints have moved Spencer Rattler to the bench in favor of rookie Tyler Shough. Dynasty Analysis: Rattler hasn't been bad statistically but has also only won one of his 15 starts in his career. On the season, he's thrown for 1,586 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. The problem is the fact he's been the definition of a game manager and being careful in the NFL just isn't going to cut it long-term. Rattler had his chance and it's unlikely we see him starting again unless Shough gets hurt or seriously falters. Rattler can be kept tentatively in deep Superflex leagues but is likely headed for the waiver wire in traditional ones.

Dynasty | Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough completed 17-of-30 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, adding 12 rushing yards in a blowout loss to the Bucs. Dynasty Analysis: Spencer Rattler started the game but was again below average and the 1-7 Saints finally pulled the plug. Shough wasn't much better and while the interception thrown wasn't his fault, he hardly looked like the long-term answer. We'll see what happens moving forward but it would be stunning to see New Orleans turn back to Rattler at this point as they are in the midst of a lost season and need to see if Shough can be their starter moving forward or if they need to spend what looks to be a high draft pick on yet another replacement.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler has been benched during Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rattler threw three interceptions last week and wasn't having much more success this weekend. He completed 15-of-21 passing attempts for 136 yards with an interception before being pulled in the second half of this game. Tyler Shough has taken over under center for at least the rest of this game. Given the Saints record, it wouldn't be shocking if Shough got a chance at the starting gig in the second half of the season.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 20-of-32 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. After turning the ball over just once through his first six games, Rattler unraveled in this one, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble. Head coach Kellen Moore said Rattler will remain the starter, though it will be a "week-to-week thing," which adds a layer of risk to his outlook. The second-year quarterback draws a decent bounce-back spot in Week 8 against a Buccaneers defense allowing 229.0 passing yards and 25.0 points per game. Rattler should remain on the QB2/Superflex radar, but turnovers could start to become a concern if the trend continues.

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that quarterback Spencer Rattler will keep starting for the team, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Rattler had a rough game in the Week 7 loss on the road to the Chicago Bears, turning the ball over four times. Moore noted that the Bears have been forcing turnovers all year, so he's not too worried, and that the 25-year-old signal-caller needs to learn from it and move on. Rattler will head into Week 8 as the starter, but he's going to need to play better to hold off rookie Tyler Shough before the end of the season. He'll get a little bit of leash despite throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble, mainly because he had just one pick and no fumbles before the Week 7 loss to Chicago. From a fantasy perspective, managers should keep ignoring New Orleans' quarterback situation.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 20-of-26 passes for 227 scoreless yards and added four rushes for 20 yards in Week 6's loss to the Patriots. He attempted a season-low 26 passes but committed zero turnovers for the fifth time in six games, and his 6:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio ranks seventh in the league. Rattler has been efficient, completing 68.5% of his passes, though he's averaging just six yards per attempt, 28th in the league. He looks to maintain that efficiency and find the end zone against the Bears in Week 7, who have allowed a league-worst 2.6 passing touchdowns per game. Rattler profiles as a high-upside QB2 or Superflex option in the matchup.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 20-of-26 passes for 227 yards with no touchdowns and added four rushes for 20 yards in Week 6's loss to the Patriots. He now ranks eighth in pass attempts, 13th in completion percentage, and 16th in passing yards on the season. This game also marks his fifth straight with a completion rate over 67% and his first since Week 1 without a passing score. The efficiency is clear, but the lack of touchdown production continues to limit his ceiling. Despite steady play, he's finished inside the top 20 quarterbacks just once this year. However, a favorable Week 7 matchup against a Bears defense that's surrendered 14 total touchdowns to quarterbacks through five games, could give him a chance to turn volume and accuracy into real production.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler finally broke through and earned his first win as a starter against the Giants in Week 5. He completed 21-of-31 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers in the 26-14 victory. Rattler also added six rushes for 21 yards and connected with Rashid Shaheed on a perfectly placed deep ball for an 87-yard touchdown, giving the Saints' offense a much-needed vertical spark. He now faces a New England defense that just allowed 253 passing yards to the Bills and is surrendering 242.2 yards per game. Rattler ranks as a solid QB2 with upside for Week 6.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler finally notched his first career win as a starter in Week 5 against the Giants, completing 21-of-31 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown. After averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt through the first four weeks, he finally connected deep with Rashid Shaheed for an 87-yard touchdown in the second quarter. It wasn't a complete shift in play style, but it was a positive sign for the young quarterback. Despite the Saints sitting at 1-4, Rattler looks locked in as the team's starter moving forward. He enters Week 6 as a QB2 with upside against a Patriots defense allowing 242.2 passing yards per game.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler put up a season-low 126 passing yards against the Bills in Week 4. It was his first game under 200 yards this season, though he added value on the ground with six rushes for 49 yards. Rattler's 146 pass attempts rank fifth in the league, but he's averaging just 191.3 yards per game, 26th among quarterbacks. He has done well avoiding turnovers with only one interception, but remains winless as a starter at 0-10. Now he faces a Giants defense that just held Justin Herbert to 203 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Rattler remains a low-end QB2 or Superflex option in Week 5, though with Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau practicing in a limited fashion, he may have additional weapons available soon.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is now 0-10 as a starter after Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, though his play has taken a clear step forward. Through four weeks, he's completed 67.1% of his passes for 191 yards per game with five touchdowns and just one interception. The concern remains his lack of downfield aggression, averaging only 5.2 yards per attempt, which ranks 30th in the league. Rattler enters a solid matchup as a QB2/Superflex option against a Giants team coming off an upset of the Chargers, but another loss could open the door for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to get his shot.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler went 28-for-39 for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 3's blowout loss to the Seahawks. The interception was his first turnover of the season, which was one of the few positives in what has otherwise been a rough beginning for New Orleans. Life won't get easier for the young quarterback, as the Saints now head to Buffalo to face a Bills defense allowing just 131.3 passing yards per game. Rattler is still searching for his first career win, sitting at 0-9 as a starter, and it wouldn't be surprising if rookie quarterback Tyler Shough sees action in a game that isn't expected to be close. Rattler should remain far from fantasy lineups this week.
