STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Shough's Week 8+ stats show improvement but sack rate is concerning.

Tyler Shough took over as Saints starter in Game 8 against the Buccaneers and impressed enough to become the unquestioned starter for 2026. From Week 8 onward, Shough ranked 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%). His advanced stats show an upgrade over prior Saints performance but are not mind-blowing; he took a ridiculous 2.8 sacks per game (5th-highest in NFL) despite facing only 31.6% pressure rate (11th-lowest).
