Tyler Shough News
Saturday, November 7, 4:43 AM
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 30-of-38 pass attempts for 278 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Week 7's loss to the Steelers. Despite the Saints scoring just 10 points, Shough's 7.3 yards per attempt and 78.9% completion rate were both his highest marks since Week 2. That's an encouraging sign after he averaged 6.1 yards per attempt or fewer and completed 69% or less of his passes in each of the previous four weeks. Things don't get easier for Shough in Week 9, as he'll face a Browns defense that has allowed opposing quarterbacks to average just 175 passing yards and 0.5 passing touchdowns per game over the last four weeks. The difficult matchup, combined with the Saints' inconsistent offensive production in recent weeks, lands Shough at QB14 in RotoBaller's Week 9 rankings.

J.J. McCarthy News
Tuesday, November 10, 9:28 AM
New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hip) was participating in the portion of practice open to the media on Tuesday, per The North Jersey Bergen Record's Art Stapleton. McCarthy is back on the field after the Giants listed him as a limited participant during their walkthrough practice on Monday. The 23-year-old former 10th overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 from Michigan is trending in the right direction for the Thursday night contest against the division-rival Washington Commanders after injuring his hip in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. McCarthy looked to be in a lot of pain on the sideline, but he eventually checked back into the game and finished out the contest. In his four games (two starts) so far in 2026 after being traded to the Giants, he has thrown for 622 yards, one touchdown, and one pick on 68 pass attempts. In a great matchup against Washington, McCarthy will have high-end QB2 upside for fantasy managers if he is cleared to play on a short week. The Giants offense could be getting RB1 Cam Skattebo (hamstring) back, too, which would be a boost for McCarthy.
