With Derek Carr's retirement this offseason, the New Orleans Saints are splitting first-team reps between Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. Rattler will get Wednesday's reps while Shough will receive first-team reps on Thursday. Rattler completed just 57% of his passes last season, tossing four touchdowns and five picks in seven appearances. Shough, a strong-armed rookie from Louisville, was selected 40th overall by the Saints in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft and is competing with Rattler for the Saints' starting quarterback gig. With no clear leader emerging, this competition could stretch through training camp. The uncertainty under center adds risk to the fantasy outlooks of Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave, both of whom depend heavily on quarterback efficiency for consistent volume and red-zone production.

ESPN's Erin Summers reports that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (head) is a full go ahead of the team's training camp. It's excellent news for the former Ohio State Buckeye, whose 2024 was marred by multiple concussions that forced him to miss nine contests. Olave is a gifted NFL wide receiver, though we haven't quite seen his full upside in fantasy. Despite entering the season healthy, that may not be the case again, with questions surrounding the quarterback position after Derek Carr's abrupt departure. As of now, Tyler Shough appears to be the favorite to win the job over Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. If Shough is just average, that'd be enough to make Olave's current price in drafts worth the risk. Talent has never been a concern for the 25-year-old, but his current situation doesn't inspire much confidence -- even as his team's unquestioned No. 1 wideout.

New Orleans Saints tight ends Taysom Hill (knee) and Foster Moreau (knee) will start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Hill is still recovering after tearing the ACL in his left knee in Week 13 last year. There are a lot of question marks around the 34-year-old do-it-all offensive piece entering the 2025 campaign, the biggest of which is whether he'll actually be ready for Week 1 in early September. Moreau injured his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale and required offseason surgery, so he, too, is up in the air for Week 1 this fall. It all adds up to more opportunities for veteran Juwan Johnson in training camp and the preseason. Hill has been a frustrating fantasy play, even with added TE eligibility, and that will probably be even more of the case given his injury concerns and new coaching staff in New Orleans.

The New Orleans Saints and quarterback Tyler Shough reached an agreement on Saturday on a four-year, fully-guaranteed rookie deal worth $10,795,000, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Shough, who was taken 40th overall in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft, is the last player that was taken this year to secure a fully-guaranteed deal. Although Shough will have competition from Spencer Rattler for the starting QB job in his rookie season, he figures to be the favorite to start under center in Week 1 this fall after Derek Carr's abrupt retirement this offseason. The 25-year-old spent seven years in college, so he has plenty of experience, and he threw for 3,195 yards and 23 yards in 2024 at Louisville. He has good size and arm strength, but his downfield accuracy is a concern. There won't be much fantasy upside here early on if he wins the starting gig. Think low-end QB2 as a game manager more than anything.

Second-round picks are slowly starting to sign this week with training camps across the league starting this week and next week. The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov writes that the big x-factor is believed to be New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who was drafted 40th overall in April. Shough is pushing for a fully guaranteed deal, and if he gets it, it could be a game-changer for the five picks in the second round in front of him, who are believed to be waiting to see how it plays out. Shough has a real chance to win the starting QB job for the Saints in his first year, so the team probably doesn't want him to miss any time in training camp. Saints players are scheduled to report to camp next Tuesday. The 25-year-old's primary competition is Spencer Rattler after Derek Carr's abrupt retirement this offseason. If Shough wins the job, he'll likely be more of a game manager with minimal fantasy upside as a low-end QB2.
