Who Should I Start? Spencer Rattler or Dresser Winn

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener will open the season as Derek Carr's backup. He's officially active for Week 1 while rookie Spencer Rattler is a healthy scratch. The Saints' depth chart generated some buzz at the quarterback position, where Haener and Rattler were listed as co-backups, but it appears we now have a firm answer, at least for the start of the year. Haener was a fourth-round pick in 2023 and spent all of last season developing in the Saints' roster, but he has yet to appear in a game. Rattler was the team's fifth-round pick this year after he put together a couple of solid seasons at the University of South Carolina. Both players remain off the redraft radar as long as Carr is healthy.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Dresser Winn could make the initial 53-man roster as the No. 3 option on the depth chart, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. A product of the CFL, Winn is on his second stint with the Rams and played the entirety of Saturday's preseason finale, completing nine passes for 72 yards and adding another 20 yards on the ground. Rapoport indicates that the Rams could roster three quarterbacks, and with Jimmy Garoppolo suspended to start the year, Winn is on track to make the team behind Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett. If he does make the roster, Winn would likely be inactive on gameday as the Rams' emergency third quarterback.
