Tyler Shough gave us a hint of things to come when he closed out his rookie season with six straight games of 17 or more fantasy points. He now adds a year of experience plus two new weapons to boost offensive production: Rookie WR Jordyn Tyson to complement veteran fantasy star (yet oft-injured) Chris Olave and a capable pass-catching running back in Travis Etienne Jr.. Among all quarterbacks with at least 10 carries in 2025, Shough ranked second in percentage of carries (22.2%) from inside the 10-yard line.
