Second-round draft pick Tyler Shough has a chance to start for the Saints in Week 1 now that Derek Carr has announce his retirement, although Spencer Rattler and perhaps Jake Haener also have a chance to earn the starting QB job in New Orleans. Shough bounced from Oregon to Texas Tech to Louisville in college and didn't play a full season as a starter until his seventh year in a college program. The 25-year-old Shough is a late bloomer, but his combination of size, mobility and arm talent make him an intriguing. Just don't expect much of a rookie-year impact for fantasy.
