The New Orleans Saints are heading into the 2026 season with Tyler Shough as their starting quarterback.
The New Orleans Saints seem to believe they have their franchise quarterback in their 2025 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Shough finally got the starting nod in week 10 and finished with 5-4 record. He played well and finished with 2,284 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, 6 interceptions and 67.6% completion rate in those starts. Shough finished as QB26 despite only starting 9 games.
Tyler Shough looked really good to end the 2025 season, winning 4 of the last 5 games. With Kellen Moore as his head coach and play caller, Shough future looks promising. Shough has WR1 in Chris Olave and a TE2 in Jauwan Johnson. The team could add another running back to help out as Alvin Kamara is at the end of his career. Despite his age of 26, Shough is a dynasty asset to target.

The second round pick of the 2025 NFL Draft took over the Saints starting job midway through the 2025 season and made his case to be the starter next year. Shough finished the season with 2,384 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Despite Spencer Rattler opening the season as the starting quarterback Shough eventually got his opportunity and made the most of it. Kellen Moore is a proven offensive mind and will provide stability heading into the 2026 season.

Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough continues to make his case to be the New Orleans Saints quarterback of the future.
2025 second round pick Tyler Shough led the New Orleans Saints to a comeback victory over the Tennessee Titans with a big second half. Shough finished the day with 333 yards and two passing touchdowns without throwing an interception for the third straight week.
Shough is up to 2,125 passing yards, nine touchdowns and is completing 67.8% of passes on the season. Shough has led the Saints to victories in five of their last seven games.
Shough didn’t win the starting job at the start of the season but since he’s taken over he’s proven that he can lead this team to wins and has set himself up to be the starting quarterback in New Orleans next season.

The New Orleans Saints have won their fourth straight game, beating Tennessee Titans 34-26.
The New Orleans Saints knocked off the Tennessee Titans 34-26 in Week 17, with Chris Olave leading the way as the top fantasy producer. Heading into Sunday Night Football, Olave sits as the overall wide receiver 1 of the week in Fantasy Championship matchups. He was Tyler Shough’s top target, as the Saints quarterback threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns.
Besides Olave, Juwan Johnson also had a big day, finishing with four receptions for 95 yards. While the Saints’ passing game carried the offense, Audric Estime led the ground attack with 94 yards and a touchdown.
On the other side, the Titans continue to show improvement behind first overall pick Cam Ward. Ward finished with over 250 passing yards and two touchdowns, but costly mistake proved too much to overcome in loss.

New Orleans Saints second year quarterback Spencer Rattler has looked a lot better than 2025 second round pick Tyler Shough.
Spencer Rattler has looked like the best quarterback at New Orleans Saints training camp so far, outplaying 2025 40th overall pick Tyler Shough. Rattler has said he feels like the best quarterback on the field.
Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara and Rashid Shaheed will likely be dealing with quarterback turmoil throughout the season. The Saints are likely to start multiple quarterbacks this season and it looks like Rattler currently has the edge to begin the season atop the depth chart.
New Orleans will want to get a look at Shough at some point this season, he’s been a late round selection in fantasy drafts and this report won’t help his stock. Olave, Kamara and Shaheed have all been selections inside the top 110 of fantasy drafts even with the quarterback uncertainty accounted for.

The Saints sign quarterback Tyler Shough to a 4-year rookie deal with $10.795 million guaranteed.
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.
