Shough didn't look particularly great in the Saints' shootout loss to the Lions, but he was solid and the team is playing fantasy-friendly football.

Positive signalProjection

Saints' elite pace and pass rate should keep Shough in QB2 mix despite Ravens matchup.

Shough was solid in the Saints' shootout loss to the Lions despite not looking particularly great. The Saints offense is fantasy-friendly: Kellen Moore dialed up the fastest offense in the NFL by both total pace and pace in neutral situations, and the Saints were fifth in pass rate over expected. Despite a tough Ravens matchup this week, the combo of speed and pass-first play-calling should keep him near the top of the QB2 mix.
