Tyler Shough was 30 of 38 for 278 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Saints' 16-10 loss to the Steelers in Paris, as the offense struggled to generate points.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026
Shough is a Fade despite finishing as QB2 last week; he's not at auto-start status and is somewhat matchup-dependent. He had a good Week 6 matchup, but Minnesota stymied him the week before and the Steelers will also pose problems this week, allowing the third fewest FPPG to opposing QBs and yielding just six total TDs to the position in six games.NegativeInjuryOct 21, 2026
The Saints need Tyler Shough to get healthy; his return would benefit the team's offensive performance after their 2-4 start.NegativeMatchupOct 19, 2026
Shough ranked 3rd in Week 6 QBR (77.9) but this metric reflects Giants' poor defense; source notes 'the quarterback just above him was Tyler Shough, a testament to the Giants' poor defense while the Saints were taking over the game.' Ball speed 43.1 mph (slower than McCarthy's 49.1), aDOT around 9.1 range.NegativeInjuryOct 18, 2026
Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has reportedly been playing with two broken bones in his left (non-throwing) hand, a significant injury that could impact his performance against the Giants.NegativeProjectionOct 16, 2026
Shough threw for 96 yards against Brian Flores' defense last week and struggled against Atlanta in Week 4; the second-year signal caller was solid through the first three games but faces a Giants defense that is playing well and has dialed up pressure looks the last two weeks to much success.NegativeMatchupOct 16, 2026
Saints QB Tyler Shough has been just a touch above average against the blitz, posting a 0.1% completion percentage above expectation (CPOE). He has thrown five touchdown passes and two interceptions against the blitz. This modest performance against pressure could be a target area for the Giants' defense, though defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson's track record with the Titans shows a conservative blitz approach—his Titans defense blitzed just 22.8% of dropbacks over the previous two seasons (22nd-highest rate) and sent DB blitzes 9.3% of dropbacks (25th). However, with the Giants short-handed on pass rushers, increased blitzing might become necessary.NegativeInjuryOct 15, 2026
Saints quarterback Tyler Shough (left hand) was a full practice participant Thursday.NegativeMatchupOct 15, 2026
Saints QB was held to 3.8 yards per attempt and 142 total yards by Vikings' dynamic pass rush and Brian Flores' blitzing defense last week; Giants' athletic blitzers and dynamic pass rush over last two games could create similar problems for Shough, though Giants' defensive scheme (more Cover 0, less zone deception) may be less effective than Flores' approach.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Saints starting QB; generally efficient and faithful to offensive structure with live arm accessing all field areas; however, 'very Tua-coded' passer per former scout Nate Tice—takes care of ball but prone to throw away as first resort; below league-average in interception rate, yards per attempt, and touchdown rate; 10th-fastest time to throw, preferring to get ball out rather than extend plays; Vikings' pressure and difficult coverage reads exploited his tendency to throw away rather than risk going backward or turning ball over; Giants' athleticism and aggression on defense can replicate Vikings' blueprint to disrupt Saints' offense.NegativeProjectionOct 12, 2026
Saints QB Tyler Shough threw for just 96 yards, averaging 3.8 yards per attempt with two interceptions and a sack against the Vikings' hyper-aggressive blitzing defense in Week 5; poor efficiency and turnover rate raise concerns about his ability to execute against aggressive defenses.PositiveMatchupOct 1, 2026
Shough is expected to outperform his Top-15 ranking this week against Atlanta.PositiveMatchupOct 1, 2026
Shough is listed as a Top-15 QB who the source thinks will outperform his ranking this week against Atlanta.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026
Shough played well in New Orleans' loss to Las Vegas, throwing four touchdowns with 255 yards passing. However, the Raiders forced four turnovers and the Saints lost running back Travis Etienne to injury in the 35-21 defeat.PositiveProjectionSep 23, 2026
Shough willed the Saints to a dramatic 24-17 come-from-behind victory over the Ravens with help from Chris Olave, overcoming a 17-3 deficit.PositiveProjectionSep 21, 2026
Shough is QB5 at 23.8 FPPG through two games. The source notes that while this pace won't continue, Shough is well-positioned to sustain low-end QB1/high-end QB2 production given ample weapons, sub-par defenses requiring him to push it, and sufficient rushing ability.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Shough delivered an impressive second half performance for the Saints in Week 1, pushing the Lions to overtime despite Kellen Moore's failed two-point conversion attempt; the Lions ultimately earned the home victory.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Tyler Shough had an impressive second half performance for the Saints in Week 1, throwing for over 400 yards and pushing the Lions to overtime before a failed two-point conversion ended the game.PositiveProjectionSep 15, 2026
Tyler Shough was a Top-10 fantasy QB over the final third of last season and maintained that form in Week 1, throwing for 410 yards and three TDs (plus two INTs) in a high-scoring shootout with the Lions. The New Orleans defense is leaky and Kellen Moore's offense is up-tempo, suggesting more high-scoring games could be in store. Shough isn't rostered in the majority of 1-QB leagues but should be.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
Courtland Sutton. It is a Tyler Shough believer; Kellen Moore has developed and coordinated several high-functioning offenses and has young talent at his disposal, with Travis Etienne joining the Saints and Chris Olave recently paid.PositiveSleeperSep 8, 2026
Shough finished last season on a tear and is a nice Superflex option if you need a second QB, with a favorable matchup against Detroit.PositiveProjectionSep 7, 2026
Tyler Shough is the highest-graded rookie QB from the 2025 class with a QBI score of 103, ranking 15th overall in the NFL. His score exceeds Jaxson Dart's 100 (21st) due to fewer negative plays; Shough demonstrates more consistent down-to-down efficiency and willingness to play within offensive structure, whereas Dart is more volatile and prone to creating chaos. Offensive coaches and executives prefer Shough over Dart, though defensive coaches respect Dart more. Shough's structured approach and efficiency-focused play style translate to a higher QBI grade.NegativeProjectionJul 22, 2026
Ranked four spots above Jaxson Dart at the bottom of SB Nation's 4th tier of quarterbacks in their preseason rankings. Tice and Harmon believe Shough has a higher floor than Dart but a lower ceiling, suggesting more stability but less upside than the Giants' rookie quarterback.
