The New Orleans Saints have come to an agreement with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough.The Louisville alum spent 6 seasons in college and will enter the NFL a few months shy of his 26th birthday. 

The Saints haven’t been able to find a franchise quarterback since Drew Brees retired in 2021. The trajectory of the franchise has since been stagnant due to team building and salary cap restrictions. By being selected in round 2, Shough should get an immediate chance to play in order for the Saints to determine whether they need to go back to the well at quarterback in next year’s NFL Draft. 

Shough can be had in round 18 on Underdog. Star running back, Alvin Kamara can be had in round 5 while wide receiver Chris Olave has an ADP in round 6. With the Saints in transition, don’t be surprised if one or both of Kamara and Olave find a new team in season via a trade. What looks somewhat decent from a fantasy perspective can change in a matter of months.
