Tyler Shough, Should Dynasty Managers Consider Selling High on Tyler Shough?
A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over as his team's QB1 in Week 9 of his rookie season. After some early struggles, Shough finished strong and closed the year with 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 11 games (nine starts). He also surprised many with his contributions on the ground, rushing for 186 yards and three scores on 45 attempts. There's reason for optimism heading into Shough's second year, particularly after the Saints boosted his supporting cast over the offseason by drafting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstrings) in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and signing running back Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. At the same time, Shough is already entering his age-27 season after spending seven years in college. While his rookie season warrants praise, it wasn't dominant enough for him to definitely remain the clear quarterback of the future in New Orleans if he experiences some early struggles in 2026. If dynasty managers can get a massive return for Shough, they may want to consider selling him at what could be the highest point in his value.

Devin Neal, Devin Neal a Dynasty Hold Until the Depth Chart Ahead of Him Settles
At times in his 2025 rookie campaign, New Orleans running back Devin Neal was the top option on the team, though the fact that his two rushing touchdowns led all Saints running backs adds further context to the level of competition he was up against. New Orleans spent big to land Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency, and with veteran Alvin Kamara still currently on the roster after missing six games in 2025, Neal's path to a meaningful workload is sufficiently blocked heading into his second season. Still yet to turn 23, he is RotoBaller's dynasty RB70, and should the Saints find a way to move on from Kamara before the start of the season, Neal could see a brief value spike and a potential sell window. For the time being, though, he remains a dynasty hold with little standalone value but a chance to position himself as a top fantasy handcuff.

Noah Fant, Noah Fant Profiles as a Dynasty Drop Candidate Entering 2026
New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant is coming off one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 34 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns on 41 targets across 15 games for the Cincinnati Bengals. While Fant's production was enough to land him a two-year, $8.75 million contract from the Saints, just $4.5 million of Fant's money is guaranteed. His playing time outlook in New Orleans is also highly uncertain, as Saints TE1 Juwan Johnson is coming off a breakout season and the team used a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on University of Georgia tight end Oscar Delp. As he enters his eighth year in the NFL, Fant has now failed to record more than 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in a season since 2021. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable dropping Fant as he enters his age-29 campaign.

Jordyn Tyson, Jordyn Tyson Remains Limited in OTAs on Thursday
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson's participation in OTAs on Thursday was "very limited," per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Tyson dealt with a hamstring injuries during the pre-draft process and in college, and the Saints are officially managing his workload as part of a maintenance plan to build him back up after an extended absence from football. The eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Tyson recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns across nine games in his final season at Arizona State. Assuming he's able to stay healthy, Tyson should immediately step in as the number two option in the Saints' passing game alongside star wideout Chris Olave. It does not appear as though Tyson's status for training camp or the start of the 2026 season is in jeopardy, but fantasy managers should still monitor for updates on his progress over the course of the summer.

Alvin Kamara, Alvin Kamara Not at OTAs But Preparing for the 2026 Season
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was not at the team's OTA practice on Wednesday, a source told Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. However, he has been working out with his trainers on a daily basis and is preparing for the upcoming 2026 season. Kamara has reportedly considered retirement this offseason after missing the final six games of last season due to an MCL sprain and an ankle injury, and his future in the Big Easy is up in the air. The 30-year-old veteran said he is excited to work alongside new backfield addition Travis Etienne Jr. this year, but it's still a question mark as to whether he's back with the Saints this fall. The five-time Pro Bowler played in a career-low 11 games last year and had just 471 rushing yards and one touchdown on 131 carries while adding 33 receptions for 186 yards and no touchdowns through the air. Even if Kamara returns to the Saints in 2026, he'll be the clear No. 2 behind Etienne. The nine-year veteran hasn't had a single 1,000-yard rushing campaign, but his prowess as a pass-catcher made him a high-end RB1 in his prime. After Kamara's injury to close out last year and the addition of Etienne in the offseason, he has plummeted to No. 59 in RotoBaller's RB rankings for the upcoming campaign.
