Tyler Shough

Tyler Shough has finished as the QB12 in weekly scoring in two of his last three games. Since Week 10, among 35 qualifying passers, Shough has ranked 14th in yards per attempt, second in CPOE, 22nd in highly accurate throw rate, 14th in catchable target rate, and 18th in hero throw rate. He has been showing some growth. He could flirt with QB1 production again this week. Since Week 9, the Bucs' pass defense has been pitiful, giving up the most passing yards per game, the second-most yards per attempt, the second-most passing touchdowns (tied), and the second-highest success rate per dropback.

It's tough to watch the Saints right now. Officially out of playoff contention, New Orleans is playing for 2026. Still, someone needs to command this offense, and that lucky individual is Tyler Shough. Last week, in an impressively close game against the Dolphins, Shough finished as a QB1 for fantasy, throwing for 236 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, while rushing six times for 18 yards. In Week 13, the Saints take on the Buccaneers, who have allowed the most fantasy points to the quarterback position since Week 10. During that stretch, the Buccaneers have given up an average of 290 passing yards, 2.5 touchdowns via the air and 0.8 touchdowns on the ground to quarterbacks. It may feel gross to use him, but Shough is a very viable streamer this week.
