From the article

Both quarterbacks I drafted are projected to open the season as their team's Week 1 starter, and if they play well, there's a good chance they keep those jobs all year. Tyler Shough took over as the starter in Week 9 last season. From Week 10 on, he completed nearly 70% of his passes while averaging 7.7 yards per attempt. He now has the benefit of an entire offseason, training camp and preseason working with the first-team offense, giving him a chance to take his talent to the next level. Shough will be throwing to Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson and Travis Etienne Jr., with Alvin Kamara in the backfield, and Kellen Moore orchestrating a fast-paced offense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Tyler Shough projects as Saints' Week 1 starter with elite supporting cast.

Drafted 4.12 as a starting quarterback; projected to open 2026 season as New Orleans' Week 1 starter with upside to retain the job if he plays well. From Week 10 on last season, he completed nearly 70% of his passes while averaging 7.7 yards per attempt. Now has full offseason, training camp, and preseason with first-team offense. Throws to Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson, and Travis Etienne Jr., with Alvin Kamara in backfield and Kellen Moore orchestrating a fast-paced offense—the type of environment fantasy managers should target late in drafts.
