Tyler Shough Looks to Bounce Back Against Giants

Friday, October 16, 7:08 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 16-of-25 pass attempts for just 96 yards and two interceptions in Week 5's loss to the Vikings. His 3.8 yards per attempt and 38.1 passer rating were both the worst marks of his young career, as he faced constant pressure from a relentless Vikings front that posted a 50% pressure rate. This was Shough's first game of the season without at least 252 passing yards and a touchdown. He will look to bounce back against a Giants defense allowing 199.4 passing yards per game, the seventh-fewest in the league, but surrendering the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Shough ranks as QB13 in RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Anthony Richardson Sr. Can be Dropped in Most Dynasty Leagues

Saturday, October 10, 11:58 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. remains firmly entrenched in the backup role, keeping him off the fantasy radar, even in dynasty leagues. There was plenty of trade chatter surrounding Richardson during the offseason, but the Colts ultimately kept him to back up Daniel Jones. That would seem to indicate that none of the other 31 teams felt like Richardson was worth acquiring, and that should continue as long as he remains off the field without opportunities to boost his trade value. As it stands, the only real path to production for Richardson would be an injury to Jones, but even in that scenario, Richardson would likely rank outside the top 24 fantasy quarterbacks. The 24-year-old has a career 21-17 touchdown-to-turnover ratio, including 12 interceptions across 11 games in 2024. He can be dropped to waivers in most dynasty leagues.
