Tyler Shough offers better value than Jaxson Dart as a second-year passer with mobility and efficiency concerns, drafted about three rounds later. Chris Allen prefers Shough over Dart despite similar profiles, citing the significant ADP discount.PositiveProjectionAug 20, 2026
Shough is a Year 1 QB entering 2026 and is positioned to benefit from the historical trend that shows rookie struggles are real, but the sophomore bump is strong for the 91% who don't dominate out of the gate. The source notes that with so much unknown about young quarterbacks, they are often well under drafted compared to their range of outcomes, making Shough a good bet in Superflex leagues.PositiveValueAug 18, 2026
The source believes late-round quarterback is exceptionally viable this year and recommends stacking Shough with another passer to get through the season; Shough was a top-nine quarterback in fantasy from Week 10 on last year both because he's a solid rusher and was seventh in adjusted yards per attempt. His production passes the smell test, and the Saints offense is on a clear upward trajectory.PositiveSleeperAug 12, 2026
Tyler Shough is the source's primary late-round QB target at 129.8 ADP. The source has believed in the Saints offense since Week 15 of last year; Shough sat at league average in EPA per dropback and passing success rate with Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, and Kevin Austin as receivers. He now gets Jordyn Tyson and a full season with HC Kellen Moore to improve system comfort. While Shough was one of only 10 starters with a rushing rate above 10.0% in the back half of last year, the source prioritizes his proficiency as a thrower when searching for late-round starter value.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Shough at 129.8 ADP is a late-round QB target; the source notes it has been a believer in the Saints offense since around Week 15 of last year, and Shough sat at league average EPA per dropback, fitting the athletic archetype that has ruled the later rounds.NegativeSleeperAug 11, 2026
Tyler Shough is mentioned as a solid late-round QB option alongside Malik Willis and Bo Nix.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Shough took over as Saints starter in Week 9 and averaged 17.6 fantasy points per game over nine starts, ranking eighth in attempts, fifth in completions, third in completion percentage and ninth in yards per attempt among full-time starters. He added 174 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns over that span, including at least 30 rushing yards in three of his last five appearances. His 2026 outlook improves with the addition of first-round wideout Jordyn Tyson, third-round tight end Oscar Delp, running back Travis Etienne Jr., and guard David Edwards joining a core featuring Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson and three former first-round offensive linemen. Under Kellen Moore's playcalling, the Saints played at the fastest pace (27.1 seconds per play) and averaged the 11th-most plays per game (63.2) in 2025. His ADP as QB19 appears undervalued given his tools and ascending offense.PositiveSleeperAug 10, 2026
Shough was a revelation during the second half of his rookie season, averaging the 12th-most points per game (17.6 FPPG) during his nine starts after taking over in Week 9. Among full-time starters over that stretch, he was eighth in attempts, fifth in completions, third in completion percentage and ninth in yards per attempt. He also ran for 174 yards with at least 30 rushing yards in three of his last five appearances and scored three rushing touchdowns. His environment has improved with the additions of first-round wideout Jordyn Tyson, running back Travis Etienne Jr. and guard David Edwards. In one of the fastest-paced offenses in the league, Shough is in the mix to crack the top 12 fantasy QBs.PositiveSleeperAug 10, 2026

The source identifies Shough as a potential QB1 sleeper in the 12th-13th round if you wait on the position. The second-year Saints QB has an explosive trio of weapons in Chris Olave, rookie Jordan Tyson, and Travis Etienne Jr., and the Saints will play one of the easiest schedules in the league mostly indoors.PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
Shough falls even further in ADP than Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen, with scramble rates and passing efficiency that make him an arbitrage play. The source highlights him as part of a tier of QBs that allows drafters to add more strength to their roster elsewhere before focusing on positions that only require a single weekly starter.NegativeRoleJul 31, 2026
Saints QB will have Chris Olave as his top target in New Orleans' offense heading into 2026 season. Olave's extension solidifies his role as the primary receiving option for Shough.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Shough at $6 salary in Some Plausible Upside tier. Play-caller Kellen Moore was cooking late in the 2025 season and Pianowski could see the Saints stealing the watered-down NFC South this year. Shough reminds him a little of Baker Mayfield, a sneaky-athletic competitor who isn't afraid to press the ball downfield. The skill talent around him is decent, too.
