STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Shough's mid-season takeover led to starter role, but Week 8+ stats show middling efficiency.

Tyler Shough took over as Saints starter in Game 8 against the Buccaneers and impressed the Saints enough to become the unquestioned starter for the 2026 season. However, advanced stats from Week 8 onward show mixed results: 15th in yards per attempt (7.3), 16th in passer rating (91.9), 27th in dropback EPA (-0.169), and 23rd in success rate (44.3%). The source notes this is 'clearly an upgrade over what was happening in New Orleans before' but not 'mind-blowing.'
