Tyler Shough News
Tuesday, April 21, 8:02 AM
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough was dominant after being installed as the starting quarterback last year, especially in the weeks following his team's bye. From Week 12-18, he had 10 total touchdowns and ranked as the overall QB5 in fantasy football. That type of production in an offense that didn't have very high expectations should instantly vault Shough into the top-12 conversation for the 2026 fantasy football season. Now, his value could soar even higher if the Saints add a receiver in the first few rounds of this week's NFL Draft. Most of Shough's production last year came from throwing to Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson. Both players showed major improvement in 2025, but adding another big name to this offense could be crucial for Shough's ascension into a weekly fantasy contributor. Many media outlets and mock drafts have linked the Saints to a Day 1 or Day 2 receiver. Such a selection would give a boost to Shough's value in dynasty leagues. Managers should look to buy low on Shough before the Saints improve his supporting cast via the draft.

Anthony Richardson Sr. News
Monday, April 20, 7:20 PM
Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) was not present on Monday for the first day of the team's offseason workouts in Indianapolis, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Richardson's future with the organization is extremely cloudy after another injury-plagued season, so much so that he publicly requested a trade earlier this offseason. The Colts are committed to QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) for at least the next two seasons. Still, Ballard said late last month that the door remains open for Richardson to return to the team if the Colts don't find a trade to their liking. The 23-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of the University of Florida only appeared in relief in two games last year before suffering a freak eye injury during a pre-game workout. Richardson's best path back to fantasy relevance is a trade out of town, but even then, fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues have likely already moved on.
