Tyler Shough

Since Week 9, Tyler Shough has been the QB16 in fantasy points per game with three QB1 outings. During that stretch, among 33 qualifying quarterbacks, Shough has ranked 13th in yards per attempt, fifth in catchable target rate, tenth in hero throw rate, and 13th in passing yards per game. Across his last four games, he has had at least 18 rushing yards in each game while also sporting two rushing touchdowns. Shough could post another QB1 stat line this week. Since Week 11, New York has allowed the eighth-most yards per attempt, the fifth-highest passer rating, and the fifth-highest CPOE.

Tyler Shough completed 24-of-32 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 20-17 win over Carolina. He also ran eight times for 32 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Shough had a decent game, minus some sacks given to the Panthers' defense. He's had his struggles with turnovers, but he's completed nearly 67% of his passes and is 3-3 in his six starts. The Saints are climbing further and further from a top pick, so Shough could find himself as their starter in 2026.
