Tyler Shough

We must be living in the upside-down because Tyler Shough has finished as a QB1 in weekly scoring in three of his five NFL starts (QB12, QB12, QB6). I don't think Shough's two rushing touchdowns last week or his 55 rushing yards were replicable moving forward, but he has flashed a rushing floor with at least 18 rushing yards in each of his last three games. Among 40 qualifying quarterbacks, Shough ranks 15th in yards per attempt, ninth in catchable target rate, 27th in highly accurate throw rate, and 13th in hero throw rate. Shough could post another QB1 performance this week. Since Week 10, Carolina has allowed the fifth-highest success rate per dropback, the sixth-most yards per attempt, and the seventh-highest CPOE.

Tyler Shough completed 24-of-32 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 20-17 win over Carolina. He also ran eight times for 32 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Shough had a decent game, minus some sacks given to the Panthers' defense. He's had his struggles with turnovers, but he's completed nearly 67% of his passes and is 3-3 in his six starts. The Saints are climbing further and further from a top pick, so Shough could find himself as their starter in 2026.
