Tyler Shough: Tyler Shough's Fantasy Success Comes With Some Red Flags

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has thrived this season on pure volume and opportunity rather than efficiency and playing great football. This season, Shough is second in the NFL in dropbacks per game, however 18th in expected points added per dropback. While volume remains king in fantasy, it does set up a higher-risk, higher-reward player to put into your lineup any given week. Additionally, the Saints have now played in two overtime games this season, giving them two additional quarters to build volume. All this to say, Shough is the QB9 in fantasy points per game this season and should remain a staple in your lineup, but fantasy managers may want to proactively plan for a backup if volume dips and efficiency doesn't improve.
