Tyler Shough Finishes As A Top-Five QB. From Week 8 on, he handled 8% of the designed rush attempts (1.8 per game), as well as 20% of the inside-the-five carries. Overall, Shough averaged 4.5 carries and about 20 rushing yards per game during the second half of the year. I love this Week 1 matchup with the Lions. For starters, this game features a total of around 50 points, and we know the Saints will have to throw to keep up.
STACKED’s take
Shough top-five QB in Week 1 vs. Lions' compromised secondary.
Tyler Shough is predicted to finish as a top-five QB in Week 1. From Week 8 on last season, Shough averaged 16.4 fantasy points per game (QB14 pace), flashing rushing and deep-pass upside. He ranked 6th in completion rate (68%), 7th in passing YPG (238.4), and 10th in offensive throw EPA (56.4). He handled 8% of designed rush attempts (1.8 per game) and 20% of inside-the-five carries, averaging 4.5 carries and 20 rushing yards per game. The Week 1 matchup with the Lions is favorable: the game features a ~50-point total, the Saints will need to throw to keep up, and the Lions' secondary is compromised with starting safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph both on IR. Detroit deployed man coverage over 30% of the time last year (top-five rate), and Shough has rushing upside against man-centric defenses. Detroit has ranked top-five in rushing yards per game allowed to opposing QBs in three of the last four years.
