Spencer Rattler Drawing Positive Buzz at Saints Camp

Thursday, August 6, 10:03 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is reportedly putting together the best training camp of his three-year career. The former fifth-round pick has started 14 games over his first two seasons, including eight in 2025, when he completed 67.7% of his passes for 1,586 yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions. Rattler was eventually replaced by Tyler Shough, who enters 2026 as New Orleans' starter. That leaves Rattler competing with Zach Wilson for the backup job, but a strong summer could help him secure the No. 2 role and rebuild some value after an uneven start to his career. He remains a deep Superflex and dynasty option rather than someone to consider in standard redraft leagues.

Jaxson Dart "Puzzled" Everytime he Finds Himself in the Blue Tent After Each Hit

Saturday, August 15, 3:49 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is "puzzled" about how he finds his way into the blue tent every time he takes a hit, according to Giants beat writer Pat Leonard. The Giants quarterback respects the NFL players' safety efforts, but "still trying to wrap my head around," said Dart. He went to the medical tent during Saturday's game against the Vikings after taking a big hit from safety Jay Ward. According to Dart, a miscommunication in protection led to the big hit. The 23-year-old stayed in the game after a brief exit to the medical tent and led the Giants to their first score of the game by connecting with wide receiver Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown. Dart finished the game with 26 passing yards on four passing attempts and a touchdown before being pulled. The 2025 first-round pick made several trips to the medical tent in his rookie season as he dealt with concussions. Dart appears to have avoided any injury and should be fine to play in the Giants' second preseason game against the Dolphins.
