Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Saints are expected to start rookie QB Ian Book in Week 16 vs the Dolphins. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
With fellow QB's Trevor Siemian and Taysom Hill being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list the Saints really didn't have all that many options at QB and Book is simply the next man up. This could serve as an early look of what the rookie QB is capable of but it also wouldn't be a shock to see New Orleans pretty conservative with how much they ask him to do. Given the lackluster pass catching weapons for the Saints, the game plan will likely prioritize the rushing attack along with quick and short passes. Book can not be relied upon as a fantasy option and more than anything probably raises the upside for RB Alvin Kamara and the Miami defense.
