Spencer Rattler
QB - New Orleans Saints
2024 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesWhen Rattler is on, he looks like a legit starting NFL quarterback. He has easy velocity on throws, can hit all three levels, will layer some nice throws against zone, and pinpoint some wonderful boundary shots. A worry with Rattler, though, is consistency. He has plenty of YOLO throws and spotty decision-making moments on film, too, where you'll be left wondering, "What the hell was he thinking?" Consistency for Rattler has to continue to improve. Rattler has good pocket maneuverability. He can throw on the run without losing accuracy, but when he's pressured, his footwork can lapse, and you'll see him sail some throws. He's also late to feel the rush at times, which has gotten him blown apart by rushers. Rattler was tasked with half-field reads on many plays. He's quick to move from his first read to the next, but again, consistency can be an issue; he'll hang on to his first option for too long and rush his progression on other snaps. Again, when he's on, he looks like he can be an average to above-average starter in the NFL. Dynasty Outlook: Rattler arrives in the Big Easy after being selected in the fifth round of the NFL draft. I didn't expect Rattler to be selected inside the top two rounds of the draft, but I was surprised to see him tumble all the way to the fifth round. That measly amount of draft capital doesn't ensure that Rattler will ever be promised a shot at the starting job, but he should compete immediately for the backup job behind Derek Carr. Carr still has two years of money left on his contract insulating him, so don't look for the Saints to move on anytime soon. Rattler is a dice roll late in the late third/early fourth round of Superflex formats. In 1QB formats, you can stash him on a taxi squad if you have the room.

Fantasy Impact
Rattler marks the first QB taken in the 2024 NFL Draft since the first round, and he goes into a room with QBs Derek Carr and 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener. The former South Carolina and Oklahoma passer has a notable arm but often displayed a tendency to be overconfident in his ability on the field. He has a chance to develop into a solid QB — showing NFL promise in college — but he may need some time and will have to fight for the reps to do so.
