Who Should I Start? Tyler Shough or Jaxson Dart

Monday, August 25, 9:36 AM

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough believes he has shown enough through training camp practices and preseason games to lead his team. The Saints are the only team yet to announce their Week 1 starter at quarterback. While Jake Haener has an outside shot at the job, the belief around camp is that the decision will come down to Shough or second-year signal-caller Spencer Rattler, who started six games for the team last season. Shough and Rattler appeared in all three of the team's preseason games, each throwing one touchdown and one interception, and Rattler barely taking the edge in completion percentage and yards per attempt. The Saints spent an early second-round pick on Shough, and with the team going 0-6 in Rattler's starts last season, the belief has been that Shough would have to struggle mightily not to get the Week 1 start. Regardless of who the team plugs into the starting job, the fantasy output of New Orleans looks bleak, with only Alvin Kamara worthy of a top-50 pick.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart is already gaining momentum within the club to start sooner rather than later, The Athletic's Diana Russini said during a Scoop City Show appearance. The rookie was impressive during the preseason, but New York signed veteran Russell Wilson to be their Week 1 starter. Russini said Dart has been turning heads in New York, which parted ways with Daniel Jones during the 2024 season. The Giants' quarterback room could be a situation to watch this season, especially if Wilson struggles at some point.
