Should You Start or Roster Spencer Rattler?

Rattler's second season showed legitimate growth. Across nine starts he completed 67.7 percent for 1,586 yards, eight touchdowns and five picks, posting a positive 2.4 CPOE after a brutal -9.1 as a rookie. His success rate climbed from 38.1 to 46.4 percent and his EPA per play improved from -0.262 to -0.087, while his bad-throw rate fell from 18.2 to 11 percent. He added 167 rushing yards on 31 carries, and his 98.1 fantasy points in nine games extrapolate to a respectable full-season pace.

The caveats are real: the EPA is still negative, he took 18 sacks behind a leaky line (17.5 percent pressure), and he fumbled four times. With Kellen Moore's offense and a healthier receiving corps, Rattler profiles as the clear 2026 starter in New Orleans, but the modest deep-ball volume (12.4 percent) and middling supporting cast cap the ceiling. He is a streaming QB2 and superflex depth, not a weekly starter in one-quarterback leagues.

Rattler has averaged 11.0 fantasy points per game over 16 games and 2 seasons, without a top-12 finish.

In 2025 he averaged 11.6 per game, up 1.2 from 2024. That is despite less volume (28.6 pass attempts a game against 32.6), so efficiency and scoring are doing it. His most-targeted receivers in 2025 were Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson.

Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

Rattler's second season showed legitimate growth. Across nine starts he completed 67.7 percent for 1,586 yards, eight touchdowns and five picks, posting a positive 2.4 CPOE after a brutal -9.1 as a rookie. His success rate climbed from 38.1 to 46.4 percent and his EPA per play improved from -0.262 to -0.087, while his bad-throw rate fell from 18.2 to 11 percent. He added 167 rushing yards on 31 carries, and his 98.1 fantasy points in nine games extrapolate to a respectable full-season pace.

The caveats are real: the EPA is still negative, he took 18 sacks behind a leaky line (17.5 percent pressure), and he fumbled four times. With Kellen Moore's offense and a healthier receiving corps, Rattler profiles as the clear 2026 starter in New Orleans, but the modest deep-ball volume (12.4 percent) and middling supporting cast cap the ceiling. He is a streaming QB2 and superflex depth, not a weekly starter in one-quarterback leagues.

Spencer Rattler Fantasy Outlook FAQ

What is Spencer Rattler's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

How difficult is Spencer Rattler's remaining fantasy schedule?

Difficult: of his next seven games, 1 comes against a top-10 matchup for QBs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
