From the article

Shough was a revelation during the second half of his rookie season last year. Once he took over the starting job in Week 9, the 26-year-old instantly became a usable fantasy option, averaging the 12th-most points per game (17.6 FPPG) during his nine starts. Among full-time starters over that stretch, Shough was eighth in attempts, fifth in completions, third in completion percentage and ninth in yards per attempt. He also ran for 174 yards, including at least 30 rushing yards in three of his last five appearances and scored three rushing touchdowns over that span.

Shough's 17.6 FPPG rookie stretch and improved Saints offense support top-12 upside.

Shough was a revelation during the second half of his rookie season, averaging the 12th-most points per game (17.6 FPPG) during his nine starts after taking over in Week 9. Among full-time starters over that stretch, he was eighth in attempts, fifth in completions, third in completion percentage and ninth in yards per attempt. He also ran for 174 yards with at least 30 rushing yards in three of his last five appearances and scored three rushing touchdowns. His environment has improved with the additions of first-round wideout Jordyn Tyson, running back Travis Etienne Jr. and guard David Edwards. In one of the fastest-paced offenses in the league, Shough is in the mix to crack the top 12 fantasy QBs.
