All NFL Fantasy - The Athletic insights about Tyler Shough

PositiveBreakoutJul 8, 2026
After his first two starts, Shough was QB12 in FPPG (18 FPPG in Weeks 10-17) with a 70.3% completion rate (second only to Brock Purdy) and 260.1 passing yards per game (seventh). He sparked the Saints offense with more downfield passing compared to previous starter Spencer Rattler (6.2 yards per attempt) and developed strong rapport with WR Chris Olave. However, the source gives a 'solid no' vote on Shough as a 2026 breakout QB candidate; despite his strong eight-game stretch, Shough only had eight passing touchdowns (T-18th), his accuracy on 15+ yard throws was poor (25% completion rate, fifth-worst among 32 QBs with 250+ attempts), and his rushing ceiling is modest (300-400 yards with a handful of TDs), unlike Dart or Willis.
