Who Should I Start? Tyler Shough or Malik Nabers

Sunday, August 17, 4:34 PM

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough started the first half of Sunday's preseason 17-17 tie against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He went 9-of-12 for 66 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The offense struggled to get going early, managing just three points across four drives with Shough under center, including two three-and-outs. Once expected to be the frontrunner for the Saints' Week 1 starting job, his inability to consistently move the ball, even with starting receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed on the field, combined with Spencer Rattler's solid performance, suggests momentum may be shifting against him. Shough remains a player to monitor, but he should stay off fantasy radars outside superflex or dynasty leagues.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back, shoulder, toe) will return to practice on Tuesday and do some things, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. It sounds as though Nabers will be pretty limited in his return to the practice field, but it's still good news for the 22-year-old with the 2025 regular season quickly approaching. Nabers has been battling a toe injury since his college days at LSU, and he also suffered a shoulder injury this summer before recently coming down with a back issue. While it's certainly something to watch, none of his three injuries are considered serious or anything that will keep him from suiting up for Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday, Sept. 7, against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Nabers caught an impressive 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie and is strong WR1 target in fantasy.
