Spencer Rattler

Spencer Rattler reportedly saw the majority of the first-team reps at Saints OTAs on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Rattler went 10-of-12, which included a nice throw to Juwan Johnson on an over route & hit Chris Olave on a dig. This remains a camp battle to monitor between him and Tyler Shough.

Spencer Rattler looked sharp at Saints OTAs, outshining rookie Tyler Shough, who connected with Rashid Shaheed on a deep ball, per team reports. Rattler, with 1,317 yards in 2024, battles Shough after Derek Carr’s retirement this offseason.

Fantasy Impact

Rattler’s 57 percent completion rate and 4-to-5 TD-to-INT ratio in 2024 make him a risky QB3, but his OTA edge over Tyler Shough keeps him in the Week 1 starter race. A win in this competition could boost his value in a Saints offense with playmakers like Rashid Shaheed. At 24, he’s a dynasty flier if he secures the job post-Carr.

Spencer Rattler is rotating with rookie QB Tyler Shough to begin OTAs.

Fantasy Impact

It is expected to be a quarterback battle this offseason between Rattler and Shough. The Saints have said they'll let the two of them compete to begin the offseason before considering bringing in a veteran. This will remain a situation to monitor as OTAs progress. It's unlikely either of them will hold much fantasy value this season.

Spencer Rattler completed 20-of-36 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Saints 25-10 loss to the Raiders.

Rattler also tallied 46 rushing yards on three carries in the loss. His lone touchdown pass came on a 30-yard strike to Foster Moreau in the second quarter. If Derek Carr (hand) is unable to play in Week 18, Rattler will likely draw the start against Tampa Bay.

Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said Spencer Rattler will remain the starter if Derek Carr can't go.

Fantasy Impact

Carr is attempting to play again this season. Rattler remains off the fantasy radar if he sees another start.
