Tyler Shough Finishes As A Top-Five QB... Shough still averaged a healthy 16.4 fantasy points per game from Week 8 on, good for the QB14 in fantasy... I love this Week 1 matchup with the Lions... the Lions' secondary is a serious issue right now, as starting safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph both open the year on IR.
STACKED’s take
Shough projects as top-five QB in Week 1 vs. Lions' compromised secondary and man-heavy coverage.
The source projects Shough to finish as a top-five QB in Week 1 against Detroit. From Week 8 onward last season, Shough averaged 16.4 fantasy points per game (QB14 overall), ranking 6th in completion rate (68%), 7th in passing YPG (238.4), and 10th in offensive throw EPA (56.4). He also added rushing production with 4.5 carries and 20 rushing yards per game, handling 8% of designed rush attempts (1.8 per game) and 20% of inside-the-five carries. The Lions' secondary is compromised with safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph both on IR, and Detroit deployed man coverage over 30% of the time last year (top-five rate). The source notes that quarterback rushing upside is maximized against man-centric defenses, and Detroit has ranked top-five in rushing yards per game allowed to opposing quarterbacks in three of the last four years. The game features a ~50-point total, forcing New Orleans to throw to keep up.
