Rattler, a 2024 fifth-rounder, has appeared in seven career games with an 0-6 record as a starter and four touchdown passes to five interceptions. Haener, a 2023 fourth-rounder, has thrown just 39 career passes and is 0-1 as a starter.

The Saints drafted Shough out of Louisville with the 40th overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, making him the third quarterback off the board after first-round picks Cam Ward (first overall to the Titans) and Jaxson Dart (25th to the Giants).

Derek Carr's sudden retirement cleared the path for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to be the team's 2025 starter. Shough's presence under center bodes well for the fantasy outlooks of Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara.
